USE
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with
the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot.
This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting.
• Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the
guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least:
▷ 9 cm for zone ø 14.5 and 17.5
11 cm for zone 19.5 x 20.5 cm and for zone ø 23 and 27.5 cm
▷
23 cm for connected Bridge zones
▷
• You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone.
If a pan is too small the cooking zone will not work.
Pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking
zone display lights up. A power level can be set.
• If there is no (suitable) pan on a cooking zone, the pan detection symbol shows when you
set a power level. The symbol disappears when a suitable pan is put on the cooking zone.
• If you remove a pan from the cooking zone during cooking, the pan detection symbol
shows. The cooking zone switches off. The symbol disappears when you put the pan back.
The cooking zone switches on again with the power level set before.
Grill plates
The hob has a Grill function (depending on the model) for using a grill plate. The function keeps
the grill plate at an ideal temperature for grilling.
Power level setting
The cooking zones have 9 levels. Beside it there is a level 'boost' (P). If you have switched on
the hob the required cooking zone can be chosen within the next 5 seconds. Set the power level
by touching the slide control. At the first touch, the level is set according to the part of the slide
control that you touch. By sliding along the control, the power level setting is changing.
By sliding to the right, the level increases, while sliding to the left decreases the level. When you
move your finger away from the slide control, the cooking zone starts to operate at the level set.
Boost function
You can use the boost function to cook at the highest power level during a short period of time
(max. 5 minutes). After the maximum boost time the power will be reduced to setting 9.
