3.4 Residual heat indicator
After a hotplate is switched off, «Residual heat» is displayed as long as there is a risk of
burns.
3.5 How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The induction
coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which dir-
ectly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware. The glass ceramic plate is only
warmed by the hot cookware.
Induction hobs have a quick reaction time, allow precision cooking, are powerful, energy-
efficient and safe.
3.6 Flexible cooking
In flexible cooking, there are no marked cooking zones.
The hob detects cookware with a diameter of ø10 cm or larger and shows which hot-
plates they are on in the display. Up to five pans can be placed on the hob.
Pan detection
The hob detects the position and size of the cookware in the following situations:
▪ The cookware is placed on the hob when it is switched on.
▪ The cookware is moved or repositioned on the hob when it is switched on.
Hotplate display
Each hotplate detected is shown as a circle or rectangle in the display. The settings for
each hotplate detected can be made in the display.
Changing the position of the cookware
If the cookware is moved or lifted and repositioned, the hob detects the cookware’s new
position and automatically takes over all the settings from its old position. Further inform-
ation can be found in the “MemoryFunction” (see page 12) section.
