remains above +60°C, even after the
appliance has been switched o

.
The residual heat indicator has the low-
est priority and is overwritten by every
other display value, including during
safety switch-o
ff
and the displaying of
an error code. When voltage is supplied
to the hob after a power interruption, the
residual heat display indicator will
fl
ash.
If a heater had a residual heat of greater
than +60°C before the power interrup-
tion occurred, the display will
fl
ash while
the residual heat remains or until the
heater is selected for another cooking
operation.
Hints and Tips
Important:
When ceramic heaters
are operated in higher heat set-
tings, the heated areas may be seen
switching on and o
ff
. This is due to a
safety device, which prevents the glass
from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without pans
on the cooking zone.
• Only use
fl
at pans with a su
ffi
ciently
thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is
dry before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never
use a pan with a di
ff
erent diameter to
the hotplate being used.
• Do not use saucepans with rough
bottoms since these can scratch the
glass ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the
pans to avoid heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible
parts may become high while the
appliance is operating. Keep children
and animals well away from the hob
during operation and until it has fully
cooled after operation.
• If you notice a crack on the cooktop,
it must be switched o
ff
immediately
and replaced by authorised service
personnel.
4.2 Accessories
The Vitroceramic Spatula
Always use the spatula to remove spill-
ages or deposits from the hob before
trying chemical cleaning agents. This
is the ideal method for removing even
the smallest deposits from the hob, and
for removing spillages from hot cooking
zones before they burn onto the hob.
