Induction cooking zones with Pan Recognition
An advantage of the induction heating method is the pan recognition. If there is no pan or a too small pan placed
on the hotplates, no energy ist transmitted. If the cooking zone is switched on, the pan symbol “u” flashes in the
cooking level display
"
. During the next 10 minutes the pan detection will identify a pan that has been placed and
it will switch on the selected level. In the same way, the power supply to the cooking zone is interrupted, if the pan
is removed from the cooking zone. If the pots and pans placed on the cooking zone are of smaller dimension, and
the pan recognition still switches on, then the power supply will take place with less power.
The induction cooking zones have an inner circle which represents the diameter of the bottom of cooking
pans and which switches on when quality cookware suitable for the induction mode is used (see the chart
in section 2.1.3).
The inner circle can also be used to centre pans when placing them on cooking zones.
The dimensions and the layout of the two rear cooking zones mean that the SE 2842 ID model has an additional
roasting zone which is recognisable by means of the two connecting lines. This roasting zone can be used for large
oval pans and roasters provided that the bottom of the roasting pan is large enough to activate the pan-on detec-
tion device. In this case, setting the cooking level and the temperature is carried out by means of setting the cook-
ing level controls of the two rear cooking zones at the same setting.
Any humming noises which may occur during cooking are quite normal and will neither cause any damage nor
impair the functioning of the hob in any way.
Power boost
For the induction cooking zone marked by a “P” an additional power boost can be activated for a fast parboiling
boost. To switch on and off the power key
must be activated. The induction cooking zone must be activated and
switched on (cooking zones with a power boost are located at the front left and rear right. When one of these cooking
zones is used with a power boost at the same time as another one without a power boost (front right and/or rear left)
the output of the cooking zone without a power boost will be reduced. This can be recognised by the fact that the
cooking level display
"
will alternately flash the cooking level set and the reduced cooking level, but only if the cook-
ing level set is higher than the level of the limited cooking level.
Timer
The cooking zones of all of the models in this instruction manual each have their own timer.
The timer can be used to automatically switch off a cooking zone at the end of the cooking time after a pre-set time
of between 1 and 99 minutes. The required cooking zone must be activated, stand-by dot
#
lights up. Select a
cooking level from 1 to 9 by means of the Plus or Minus key
/
. Then press timer key
. The timer display
shows “00”. Select the required cooking time between 01 and 99 minutes by means of the Plus or Minus key
/
. The control lamp
of the selected cooking zone lights up.
The selected cooking time can be altered at any time. Activate the relevant cooking zone, press timer key
and
change the cooking time by means of the Minus or Plus keys
/
. If the timer has been set for several cooking
zones at the same time, the remaining time for each individual cooking zone can be called up by selecting the
cooking zone with the cooking zone key
!
.
When the pre-set cooking time has finished, the cooking zone switches off automatically and an acoustic signal
sounds for 30 seconds. This can be switched off by pressing the timer key
.
If you want to switch the timer off beforehand, press cooking zone key
!
and timer key
. By simultaneously
pressing the Minus and the Plus keys
+
the timer
can be set at “00” .
The timer can also be used as an egg timer when none of the cooking zones are activated. In this case, no cooking
zone should be activated when the timer
is being set (the cooking zone stand-by dot
#
does not light up).
