Before Using for the First Time Initial Cleaning Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth. Important: Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could be damaged. Operating the Hob When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all glass ceramic cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the appliance.
Residual heat indicator The ceramic cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a control lamp is allocated to each cooking zone. This lights up as soon the corresponding cooking zone is hot and warns against inadvertant contact. The remaining heat lamp only goes out when the cooking zone has cooled down even when the cooking zone is switched Off.
