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.

hotplates.
Linking the two hotplates

g
symbol for the hotplate on which the
cookware is placed.
The flexible cooking zone will light up like a single
hotplate and the
p

Adding new cookware

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.
Middle hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the three positions
that can be seen in the illustration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the two positions
that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware occupies more than two induc-
tors, place it starting from the upper or the lower
edge of the 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.
