What do the symbols on a hob mean?

Find it by its shape. 1. Pick what you see on the touch panel or in the display. 2. Match the drawing. Each of the symbols here is backed by at least two makers’ own instruction manuals.

Tap a shape — the symbols that use it appear here.

Before you trust any chart, including this one

No published standard we could check defines hob control icons. IEC 60417 (the international catalogue of equipment symbols) is a paid database, and none of the manuals cited here quotes an IEC number for these displays, so every meaning on these pages is taken from makers’ own instruction manuals — and the same letter can mean different things on different brands.
