Cooking zones and sensors
Cooking zones and sensors
Using a pot that is slightly larger than the
cooking zone will allow you to achieve the
most efficient use of energy.
d2
d1
– The diameter d1 is always given as the
size of the pot or pan. Base diameter d2 is
always around 2 cm smaller.
– As soon as the pot is removed, the cooking
zone shuts off and the ‘ ’ symbol appears
in the cooking zone display instead of the
heat setting.
The hob has four cooking zones. A sensor in
the control panel is assigned to each cooking
zone.
You can use the ‘+’ sensor (10) to increase
the heat of the respective cooking zone.
You can use the ‘-’ sensor (11) to reduce the
heat of the respective cooking zone.
Each time a sensor is touched, an acoustic
signal can be heard.
The sensors must be clean and may not be
covered by objects.
When activating the sensors, always
use the entire
fi
ngertip and not just the very
end of the
fi
nger. Your
fi
nger must be clean
and dry for the sensors to react appropriate-
ly.
Each time the sensor registers a touch,
you will hear an acoustic signal.
Switching the hob on
– To switch the hob on, press the on/off sen-
sor (8) for approximately three seconds.
You will hear an acoustic signal. The ‘
-
’ or
‘--’
indicator will light up beside the sensors
of all cooking zones.

Pot recognition
Pot recognition is installed in the cooking
zones. Pot recognition ensures that the cook-
ing zone will heat up only if there is a pot with
a ferromagnetic bottom or another object
made of the same kind of metal located on
that zone. The cooking zone becomes inac-
tive as soon as the pot or the magnetic object
is removed.
Setting the cooking zone
1. Place a suitable pot or pan on the desired
cooking zone.
2. Make sure that the bottom of the cook-
ware and the cooking zone are clean and
dry.
3. Press the sensor for the cooking zone
that you wish to use.
The ‘
0
’ indicator beside the selected sensor
will light up and blink.

4. Press the ‘
+
’ sensor (10) (multiple times
in a row if necessary) or press and hold it
down with your finger longer to increase
the heat setting of the selected cooking
zone (highest heat setting = 9).
