for cleaning.

indicator and the hob
settings flash. The heating process is interrupted. If a
cooking timer is set, it will be paused. The control panel
is locked for 10 minutes.
You can now wipe over the surface of the control panel
without altering the settings.
To deactivate:
Put the twist knob back on within
10 minutes.
The control panel is unlocked. The hob continues
operating with the previous settings.
To end the function early, put the twist knob back on
before the 10 minutes have elapsed.
