Control knob

You can use the control knobs to select the heat setting, 
the PowerBoost function, the FlexZone and the wok 
function.

The control knobs have an illuminated ring with an 
illuminated symbol for each function. The illuminated 
ring changes colour when particular functions or 
processes are activated.

The illuminated ring on the control knob lights up 
orange during operation. You can choose between two 
shades. If you have several appliances installed next to 
each other, you can change the shades in the settings 
for the appliances so that all of the illuminated rings 
light up in the same shade.

The hotplates

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. 
This indicates that the hotplate is still hot. Do not touch 
the hotplate while the residual heat indicator is still lit or 
immediately after it goes out.

The following will be shown depending on the amount of 
residual heat:

 •

: High temperature

 œ

: Low temperature

and the illuminated ring around the control knob will 
flash.

If the cookware is removed from the hotplate while 
cooking is in progress, the heat setting indicator will 
flash and the control knob will be lit orange.

Turn the control knob to position 0.

If the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat 
indicator will be lit and the illuminated ring around the 
control knob will flash. Even after the hob has been 
switched off, the residual heat indicator will remain lit as 
long as the hotplate is still warm.
