Cookware recognition
When there is no saucepan on a cooking
zone or if the saucepan is too small, no
energy will be transmitted and the symbol
will appear on the display.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the
cooking zone, the recognition system
notices it and turns on the hob to the power
level set using the knob. Energy transmission
is also interrupted when the saucepan is
removed from the cooking zone (the
symbol
will be shown on the display).
If the cookware recognition function is
activated in spite of the saucepan or frying
pan on the cooking zone being smaller
than the zone itself, only the necessary
energy will be transmitted.
Cookware recognition limits: the minimum
diameter of the pan base is indicated by a
circle inside the cooking zone. Pans with
smaller diameters risk not being detected
and therefore not activating the inductor.
Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which
limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not
changed, the maximum duration of
operation for each zone depends on the
power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of
use is activated, the cooking zone turns off,
a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot,
the
symbol appears on the display.
Protection from overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long
period, the electronics will have trouble
cooling down if the room temperature is high.
To avoid excessively high temperatures
forming in the electronics, the power to the
cooking zone is reduced automatically.
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom which is
suitable for induction hot plates.
Using cookware with an irregular
bottom could jeopardise the
efficiency of the heating system
and prevent cookware from being
detected on the cooking zone.
