oYou should not burn off a zone without there being a saucepan,
half filled with cold water on it.
Touch controls

on. The next time you use that zone, both circuits will be in use
when you switch the zone on.
Turning off a zone gradually
oPress the minus button (4) of the zone that you want to switch
off, until the number in the cooking zone indicator reaches “0”.

injury.
oIf you switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button (1) then
the “H” will remain in the cooking zone indicator (6) whilst the
temperature of the zone remains above 60°C.
oWhen the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C, then the
letter “H” will go out.
oIMPORTANT: If the letter “H” is shown in a cooking zone
