The middle light is the lock. You must hold it down for at least 7 seconds to unlock it, then the middle light will go off. Your hands can't be wet, or none of the buttons on mine work right.

From the manual, page 7:

To Unlock Cooktop: Touch and hold the CONTROL LOCK/
ALL OFF keypad for 5 seconds.

Hold your finger or thumb on the red light for a few seconds, and you will hear three beeps. This tells you that the lock is off. If the light is not on, do the same and there will be three beeps, and the light will come on, telling you that the lock is back on.

Held all off/on button for 5 seconds cleared the problem,

you sound as if the short is occourring within the switch assy perhaps water has spilled on it, listed on gas range, but assuming you have an electric unit, with the knobs poking through the glass

I have a Neff T4344N0/08. I cannot stop all four hobs flashing - ie: I press the 'on' button all four flash, I then choose which one I want to use plus the number but they all keep flashing instead of stopping after the usual three or four. Please help - have I pressed something I shouldn't, perhaps a child lock?

Hold the button down 5-6 seconds and it will go off...then to cut on...press down again for 5-6 seconds and it will come back on.
