Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can
be used with the cooking functions. You can find
information on which types of cookware can be used
with an induction hob in the section on
The cooking assistance functions table lists which
cookware is suitable for which functions.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the heat of the cooking vessel
throughout the cooking process. This ensures that the
cooking power is controlled with high precision to
maintain the right temperature and achieve optimum
cooking results.
Your hob has two different temperature measuring
systems for achieving the best results:
■
Temperature sensors that are located inside the hob
and monitor the temperature of the base of the
cookware. Suitable for the frying sensor.
■
A wireless temperature sensor that transmits the
temperature of the cookware to the control panel.
Suitable for the cooking functions.
The temperature sensor is essential for using 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 temperature
sensor in the section on
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.
Hotplates with this function are marked with the frying
sensor symbol.
Benefits
■
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
■
A 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 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 hotplate 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. "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", heat setting 5.
