Flex Zone
You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as
two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of
each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the
area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is
distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent
hotplates.
Activating

As a single hotplate
Using the entire cooking zone by connecting both
hotplates.
Connecting the two cooking zones
The cooking zones are automatically connected or
separated depending on where the pot or pan is
placed.

Set the pot or pan down. Select one of the two
cooking zones in the Flex Zone and set the power
level.

Adding a new item of cookware

If the cookware has been set down correctly, the
appliance will detect it. The appliance separates the
zones and selects this automatically.

If you move or lift the item of cookware on the active
cooking zone, the cooking zone will start searching
automatically and the power level you selected
previously will be retained.

function. You will find more information about this in
the section entitled
~
"Basic settings" .

separated depending on where the pot or pan is
placed.

the two cooking zones in the Flex Zone and touch the

As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the four posi-
tions that can be seen in the illustration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the three
positions that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than one
hotplate, place it starting on the upper or
lower edge of the flexible cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two induc-
tors and can be used independently of each other.
Select the required heat setting for each of the
hotplates. Use only one item of cookware on each
hotplate.
Recommendations
If the hob has more than one flexible
cooking zone, place the cookware on
top so that it covers only one of the flex-
ible cooking zones.
Otherwise, the hotplates will not be
activated as intended and the cooking
result will not be satisfactory.
