Flex Zone

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 

~

 "Operating the appliance"

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.
