Only the area which has been turned on will be heated. The rest of the cooktop surface will remain relatively cool. Residual heat indicator Each cooking area has a residual heat indicator. When a cooking area is turned on, its residual heat indicator lights up. It only goes out after the cooking area has been turned off and the cooking surface has reached a temperature safe to the touch. Temperature limiter All cooking areas are equipped with a temperature limiter, which turns the heating element off if the temperature under the ceramic surface gets too high. The temperature limiter turns the heating element on again after the temperature has returned to a safe level. when unsuitable cooking utensils are used (e. g. saucepans with uneven bases or which are too small). when cooking areas are used without pots. The temperature limiter may also be activated when the utensils are suitable. The reason for this could be light colored saucepan bases (heat reflection) or poor transfer of heat from the saucepan base to the food. Important note While the cooking areas are heating up, a "humming" noise may be noticed. This is caused by magnetization of the heating filaments. As the cooking areas heat up, the humming noise will diminish and finally will cease altogether. For halogen cooking areas only: The radiant elements work together with the halogen lamps.
