Cooking Zones
Flex Cooking Zone
The flex cooking zone consists of several independently-controlled inductors. When
cookware is detected, only sections that are in contact with the cookware will be
activated, all others will remain switched off.
To ensure that the cookware is detected and heat is distributed evenly, centre the
cookware as shown below:
Pans with a diameter less than 13 cm
( Heating Mode only, not for Genius Sensor cooking
modes)
For smaller pans, place the cookware in one of the
four positions shown.
Pans with a diameter of 13 cm or more
For larger pans, place the cookware in one of the three
positions shown.
Larger cookware
Place it at the top or bottom edge of the flex cooking
zone.
Two independent cooking zones
The front and rear areas of a flex cooking zone can
be used independently of each other by selecting the
necessary power for each one.
Do not place the cookware over multiple flex cooking
zones.
Do not place the cookware in an off-centre position.
The sensor may not function properly and could cause
a fire.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious injury.
