• In the event of a mains power failure lasting more than 1 sec., all set-
tings and displays are erased. In this circumstance care must be taken
because hot cooking zones will no longer be indicated by the residual
heat indicator.
• If a hot pan is placed on a cold cooking zone and the cooking zone is
heated by the pan, the residual heat indicator will not indicate that
the cooking zone is warm.

they will make the surface matt.
