The Oven; The Cooking Compartment - Siemens HC744540 Mode D'emploi

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

sufficiently.
You can save energy by using the residual heat to keep a small
dish warm, for example.
