Detection of cookware on a cooking zone
The pot detector is installed in plates equipped with the inductive field system. During opera
-
tion the pot detector automatically starts or stops the production of heat once a pot is put or
removed from the plate, saving energy.
• If appropriate pot is used there is a heat level indicated on the display.
• Induction requires the use of well-matched pots with bottoms made of magnetic material
(see Table page 50).
The pot detector does not operate as an ON/ OFF switch.
When switching the plate on and off and increasing / reducing the heating power
always
touch only one sensor
. If you touch several sensors at the same time, the
system will ignore the entered settings and, should you keep touching the sensors for
a long time, will emit a fault signal.
The ceramic plate is equipped with sensors operated by touching the marked areas with finger.
Every touch of a sensor is confirmed with a sound.
OPERATION
If a pot has not been put on the hotplate or improper pot has been used, the sign
will be displayed. The hotplate will not switch on.
If no pots are detected within 10 minutes, the switching on operation is cancelled.
A hotplate has to be switched off by using the touch sensors, not only by taking
the pot off.
