Residual heat indicator

The residual heat indicator on a hob is a safety function that shows that a cooking zone is still hot after it has been switched off. It warns the user not to touch the cooking surface or place heat-sensitive objects on it while it still contains residual heat. The indicator usually lights up as soon as a cooking zone is switched off. It remains active until the temperature of the zone has fallen to a safe level (usually 60 °C).

Automatic switch-off

The automatic switch-off on a hob is a safety function that automatically switches off the hob after a certain period of inactivity or in the event of improper use.

Child lock

The child lock on a hob is a protective function that prevents the hob from being accidentally or accidentally switched off is turned on without authorization, especially by children. It ensures that no settings can be changed or cooking zones activated as long as the lock is active.

Automatic pot detection

Automatic pot detection is an intelligent function that detects whether a pot or pan has been placed on the cooking zone and only then activates the heating elements.
