The pan-on detection
All of the cooking zones have a pan-on detection and the dual-circuit zone
also has a pan size detection.
F
The pan-on detection will recognize pans made of metal.
In order to be able to use glass or ceramic cookware the pan-on
detection must be deactivated.
When a pan suitable for the pan-on detection is placed onto a cooking zone
which is switched off, the display will indicate a “U”.
If no pan or a pan unsuitable for the pan-on detection function has been
placed on the activated cooking zone, an underlined “U” appears in the
display.
Then the cooking zone switches off automatically after 1 minute.
Switching off the pan-on detection
The pan-on detection must be switched off when glass cookware or any other
cookware unsuitable for the pan-on detection is being used.
– Before setting the power level of the cooking zone, touch the plus and
minus sensors simultaneously.
The display will show a dot. This dot remains visible next to the power level
set.
If the dot blinks, it is an indication that the pan-on detection has developed a
defect. The cooking zone can still be operated with the pan-on detection
switched off. Select the circuit manually for dual-circuit cooking zones.
The automatic pan size detection for dual-circuit cooking zones
Dual-circuit cooking zones have a sensor which recognises the size of the pan
being used.
Only the inner circuit will be switched on if a small pan is placed on the
cooking zone. If the cooking zone is fully covered by a pan, both circuits will
be switched on.
Please ensure that the outer circuit is always fully covered, even in the case
of pans with a rounded base.
Moving the pan around during the cooking procedure may result in the outer
cooking circuit being switched off if it is not fully covered.
The outer cooking zone circuit can also be switched on or off manually if the
pan-on detection or the pan size detection is activated.
