Pan Detection
Energy is transferred to cookware if and only if the induction system detects a suitable pan on the heating area.
The green indicator light signals to communicate the Pan Detection process:
•
When the unit is ON without any pan on the glass-top, the green indicator light flashes; the unit is in pan
detection mode.
•
As soon as a pan is put on the glass-top, the heating process is engaged and the indicator light stops
flashing and remains bright. However, the indicator light will keep flashing if the unit is not detecting any
pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the glass-top.
NOTE:
Pan with a bottom diameter smaller than 5”(12 cm) is not detected by the system.
When you remove the pan from the heating area, power transfer to the pan is stopped immediately. If the pan is
put back in the heating zone, the selected power will be transferred to the pan again.
After switching the unit off, there is no heat retained inside the unit.

Cooking Zone Monitoring
Each cooking zone is monitored by multiple temperature sensors beneath the glass-top. The sensors can detect
overheated empty pans or overheated oil and grease. When this occurs, the system stops the energy supply to
the pan. You must turn the unit off and let it cool down before restarting it.
CAUTION
To avoid burn injuries, do not touch the unit when a pan is
overheated and take all the necessary precautions when
removing the overheated pan.
