Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. It

shows which hotplates are still hot. Even if the hob is switched
off, the display remains lit until the hotplate has cooled down
sufficiently.
You can save energy by using the residual heat to keep a small
dish warm, for example.

The oven

Use the function selector and the temperature selector to set

the oven.

Function selector
