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 a single hotplate
The flexible cooking zone is activated as a single
hotplate.
Activation
1.
Select the flexible cooking zone.
2.
Select the heat setting you require from the settings
area. The heat setting and the indicator showing the
active cooking mode will be lit in the centre of the
flexible cooking zone.
The Flex cooking zone has now been activated.
To change the heat setting:
Select the flexible cooking zone and adjust the heat
setting to the setting you require in the settings area.
Adding new cookware
Place the new item of cookware onto the flexible
cooking zone and follow the instructions on the display
panel.
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.
Deactivating
Select the flexible cooking zone and set the heat setting
to 0. The flexible cooking zone will switch itself off and
the residual heat indicator will appear.
As two independent hotplates

hotplates.

Notes
■
If the hob switches itself off and then on again, the
flexible cooking zone is used as a single hotplate
again.
■
To change the configuration settings for the flexible
cooking zone, refer to section
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.
