OPERATION
Pan detector
Pan detector is installed in induction hobs. Pan detector starts heating automatically when
a pan is detected on a cooking zone and stops heating when it is removed. This helps save
electricity.
● When an suitable pan is placed on a cooking zone, the display shows the heat setting.
● Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with ferromagnetic base (see Table).
Pan detector does not operate as the on/off sensor.
When switching the appliance on or off or changing the heat setting, attention should
be paid that only one sensor field at a time is touched. When two or more sensor
fields are touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance igno
-
res the control signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor fields are touched
for a long time.
When you finish cooking switch off the cooking zone using touch control sensor fields
and do not rely solely on the pan detector.
The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor fields, which are operated
by touching the marked area with a finger.
Each time a sensor field is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.
If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol is
displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not detected within 10 minutes,
the cooking zone will be switched off.
Switch off the cooking zone using the touch control sensor field rather than by remo
-
ving the pan.
The protective device:
If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective devices are rarely
required.
Fan:
protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at two different speeds
and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the electronic system has sufficiently cooled
down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or off.
Temperature sensor:
Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by a
temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will
reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated
electronic circuits.
Pan detection:
allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone. Small objects placed
on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will not be recognised as pans and the hob
will not operate.
