Cooking assist functions
The cooking assistance functions make cooking easy
and always give you excellent results. The
recommended temperature settings are suitable for any
type of cooking.
They enable you to cook without using excessive heat
and promise the perfect cooking and frying results.
Sensors measure the heat of the saucepan or frying
pan throughout the cooking process. This ensures that
the power is continuously controlled and that the right
temperature is maintained.
Food can be added once the selected temperature has
been reached. Food will not be overheated and liquids
will not boil over.
The hotplates that have a frying sensor are marked with
the frying sensor symbol.
The cooking functions are available to all hotplates if a
wireless temperature sensor is connected.

Cooking assistant function types
The cooking assistance functions are used to select the
best cooking type for each kind of food.
The table shows the various different function settings
that are available for the cooking assistants:
Suitable cookware
Select the cooking zone with the diameter that most
closely matches that of the base of the cookware and
place the cookware in the centre of this cooking zone.
For the cooking functions, use cookware that is high
enough that the required water volume lies above the
silicone patch for the wireless sensor.
There are frying pans that are perfect for using with the
frying sensor. These can be purchased from specialist
