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
See section
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 item of cookware is
placed.
Connecting them manually:
1.
Set the item of cookware down. Select one of the
two cooking zones in the Flex Zone and set the
power level.
2.
Touch the
{
symbol. The
u
display lights up.
The Flex Zone is activated.
Note:
The power level appears in the two displays for
the Flex Zone.
Changing the heat setting
Select one of the two hotplates assigned to the flexible
cooking zone and set the heat setting using the twist
knob.
Adding a new item of cookware
Set down the new item of cookware in a position
suitable for its size. The appliance detects when the
cookware has been set down correctly, and then splits
the cooking zones based on this. Select the required
cooking zone and set the power level using the twist
knob.
Note:
If the cookware is moved to the hotplate being
used or lifted up, the hotplate begins an automatic
search and the heat setting selected previously is
retained.
Separating the two cooking zones
The cooking zones are automatically connected or
separated depending on where the item of cookware is
placed.
To separate the cooking zones manually, select one of
the two cooking zones in the Flex Zone and touch the
{
symbol.
The Flex Zone is deactivated. The two cooking zones
will now operate independently of one another.
Note:
If the hob is switched off, and then switched back
on again later, the flexible cooking zone is reset to
function as two independent hotplates.
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.
