Flex Zone
You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as
two independent hotplates, as required.
It consists of four inductors that work independently of
each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the
area that is covered by cookware is activated.
Advice on using cookware
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is
distributed evenly, correctly centre the cookware:
As two independent hotplates
The flexible cooking zone is used like two independent
hotplates.
Activating
As a single hotplate
Using the entire cooking zone by connecting both
hotplates.
Linking the two hotplates
1.
Set down the cookware. Select one of the two
hotplates in the flexible cooking zone and set the
heat setting.
2.
Touch the
{
symbol. The
u
indicator lights up.
The flexible cooking zone is activated.
Note:
The heat setting appears in the two displays for
the flexible cooking zone.
Changing the heat setting
Select one of the two hotplates assigned to the flexible
cooking zone and set the heat setting using the twist
knob.
Adding new cookware
Set the new item of cookware down, select one of the
two hotplates in the flexible cooking zone and then
touch the
{
symbol twice. The new cookware is
detected and the previously selected heat setting
remains the same.
Note:
If the cookware is moved to the hotplate being
used or lifted up, the hotplate begins an automatic
search and the heat setting selected previously is
retained.
Disconnecting the two hotplates
Select one of the two hotplates assigned to the flexible
cooking zone and touch the
{
symbol.
This deactivates the flexible cooking zone. The two
hotplates will now function independently.
Note:
If the hob is switched off, and then switched back
on again later, the flexible cooking zone is reset to
function as two independent hotplates.
As a single hotplate
Diameter smaller than or equal to 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the four posi-
tions that can be seen in the illustration.
Diameter greater than 13 cm
Place the cookware on one of the three
positions that can be seen in the illustration.
If the cookware takes up more than one
hotplate, place it starting on the upper or
lower edge of the flexible cooking zone.
As two independent hotplates
The front and rear hotplates each have two induc-
tors and can be used independently of each other.
Select the required heat setting for each of the
hotplates. Use only one item of cookware on each
hotplate.
Recommendations
If the hob has more than one flexible
cooking zone, place the cookware on
top so that it covers only one of the flex-
ible cooking zones.
Otherwise, the hotplates will not be
activated as intended and the cooking
result will not be satisfactory.
