Under the ceramic hob all cooking
zones have a sensor which registers
the material and size of the pan. The
cooking zone you intend to use must
be switched on before placing the
pot on the zone. If the pan is placed
on the cooking zone before switch-
ing on, the pan will not be regis-
tered. The display will show “F”.
When a pan is placed on a cooking
zone, its material will be registered.
The cooking zone will only heat up
if the pan is made of metal.
If the pan or whatever placed on the
zone is not made of metal, the cook-
ing zone will not heat up. The dis-
play will show “F”.
For double and triple zones, the cir-
cuits matching the pots being used
will automatically be switched on.
Registration depends on the material
and size of the pot.

enough
Remedy
Check that the hob is switched on.
Check the HPFI/HFI relay in the
main fuse box. Check the fuses
for the hob.

taneously. If your hob is connect-
ed to a 10 Amp fuse group, there
is a high risk of overload.
The pots must match the cooking
zone size. Check that the pots has
a flat bottom, e.g. by holding it
against the edge of a worktop.
Bring a litre of water to the boil in
a covered pot The cooking zone
must at the highest setting.
