FlexPlus Zone
FlexPlus Zone
The hob has two FlexPlus cooking zones, which are
located between the two flexible cooking zones and
which switch on in conjunction with the flexible cooking
zone to their right or left.This means that larger cooking
vessels can be used and better cooking results can be
achieved.
Each of the two FlexPlus cooking zones automatically
switches on in conjunction with the flexible cooking
zone to its right or left. It is not possible to switch them
on independently of their associated flexible cooking
zone.
Notes regarding cookware
The cookware should be set down centrally for good
pan detection and heat distribution.
The cookware should cover the side cooking zone and
the expanded cooking zone.
Depending on the size of the cookware, the flexible
cooking zone can be activated as two independent
cooking zones or as a single cooking zone:
Activation
1.
Set the cookware down on the cooking zone.
Note:
Make sure that the cookware also covers the
FlexPlus cooking zone.
2.
Select the required cooking zone and power setting.
Doing this automatically activates the FlexPlus cooking
zone – this is shown on the display.
Deactivating
Select a cooking zone and set the power setting to 0 in
the control panel. The cooking zone switches itself off
and the residual heat indicator appears.
This deactivates the FlexPlus cooking zone.
