PowerBoost lets you heat up large volumes of water
even faster than on heat setting 9.

With dual-circuit cooking zones, the second filament
circuit has to be activated for use with PowerBoost.

Notes
‒
If you do not turn off the PowerBoost function, it
switches off automatically after a certain period of
time. The hotplate switches back to the heat setting
9.
‒
Please remember that oil and fat heat up quickly
with PowerBoost. Never leave the hob unattended.
Oil and fat that have overheated will catch fire
quickly, see section Important safety information.
Frying sensor function
The tri-circuit hotplate features a frying sensor function.
If you operate the hotplate with the frying sensor
function, a sensor will regulate the temperature of the
frying pan. The hotplate only heats up when necessary.
This will save energy. Oil and fat do not overheat.
The 2nd filament circuit in the dual-circuit hotplate is
activated when setting the frying sensor function.
Notes
‒
Never leave fat unattended while you are heating it.
‒
Place the frying pan on the centre of the cooking
zone. Make sure that the base of the pan has the
correct diameter.
‒
Do not place a lid on the pan, otherwise the
regulator will not work. You can use a splatter
guard.
‒
Select the 'min' frying setting if you are using olive
oil. When using oils and fats which can be heated
to high temperatures, e.g. refined plant oils or
clarified butter, any frying setting can be used.
Pans for the sensor frying system
The pans suitable for this function can be purchased at
a later date as special accessories from your dealer or
from our customer service. Always include the following
parts numbers:
GP900003
large container (21 cm)
The pan is non-stick. You can fry good without using
much fat.
Note:
The sensor frying system may also work with
other pans. Test the pans first with low frying settings,
changing as necessary. The pans may overheat on high
frying settings.
