POT DETECTION
Pot sizes
Before cooking for the first time the ceramic glass has to be cleaned. Remove any removable
labels and protective sheeting. Place a saucepan of water on each of the front hotplates and
switch them on high for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes switch the front hotplates off, place
a saucepan of water on each of the rear hotplates and the central hotplate (if present). Switch
them on high for at least 30 minutes. This procedure is necessary in order to evaporate any
protective oils and humidity that may have collected during the manufacturing process and will
enable the electronic control circuits to operate properly.
Each induction cooking zone is provided with a pot detection. This prevents a witching on while
no pots or pans are placed on the cooking zone or if inappropriate pots or pans are used. If pots
or pans are removed during the operation, the power output will be terminated.
As long as the cooking zone is switch on, any missing or inappropriate pot or pan will be displayed
on the corresponding control element with the symbol Pot missing “U”.
The pot detection time is 10 minutes. If during this time no appropriate pans or pots are placed on
the cooking zone, the cooking zone will be switched off.
The display will change from symbol “Pot missing” to [0].
