RESIDUAL HEAT
If “H“ appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone is hot. The
indicator lights up even if the zone has not been activated but has been
heated due to the use of the adjacent zones, or because a hot pot has been
placed on it.
When the cooking zone has cooled down, the “H“ disappears.
