n A residual temperature indicator built-in into the electronic system tells you whether the
hotplate is still switched on and whether it is still hot .
n All the settings made before power switch-on are cancelled if power supply is cut. Proceed
cautiously once the power is restored. 'H' residual heat indicator will glow as long as the
heating zones are hot. Additionally, lock key symbol is on, as at initial start-up.

not touch the hot places.
