Why does a hob sometimes offer to recall settings after an accidental switch-off?

Some models retain a recent cooking state for a limited period. The recall feature is separate from starting a new programme.

What the observation means

Before accepting it, confirm that the same pans and loads remain in place. A restored high setting may be unsuitable if cookware was moved or emptied.

A useful next step

Follow the manual's recall instructions and supervise the resumed cooking. If the hob repeatedly switches off unexpectedly, investigate that issue rather than relying on recall as a workaround. Do not assume restored settings prove the underlying operation is reliable.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
