Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the heat of the saucepan or frying
pan throughout the cooking process. This ensures that
the power is controlled with high precision and that the
right temperature is maintained.
Your hob has two different temperature measuring
systems:
■
Frying sensor: There are temperature sensors
located underneath the hob. These monitor the
temperature of the base of the frying pan.
■
Cooking functions: A wireless temperature sensor
transmits the temperature of the saucepan to the
control panel. The sensor is attached to the
saucepan.
You will need a wireless temperature sensor to use the
cooking functions.
If your hob does not have a wireless temperature
sensor, this can be purchased from specialist retailers
or through our technical after-sales service by quoting
the reference number HZ39050.
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section on
~
"Preparing and
maintaining the wireless temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
You can use the frying sensor when pan-frying food with
a small amount of oil.
Benefits
■
The cooking zone continues to heat only for as long
as it needs to. This saves energy and prevents oil
and fat from being overheated.
■
An audible signal will sound once the empty frying
pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and food.
Notes
■
Do not put the lid on the frying pan as this will
prevent the controller from working. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent the oil from spitting.
■
Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1 or 2.
■
Never leave a frying pan unattended during heating,
regardless of whether or not it contains food.
■
If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
■
Always use the cooking functions when frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan. For frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan, use heat setting
5.
