closely matches that of the base of the cookware and
place the cookware in the centre of this cooking zone.

enough that, when the required volume of water is
added, the water level is higher than the silicone patch
for the wireless cooking sensor.

These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you
can fry food with a small amount of oil.
Notes
■The frying sensor has been configured specifically
for this type and size of frying pan.
■Using a frying pan of a different size or one that is
poorly positioned on the flexible cooking zones may
result in the frying sensor not being activated. See
section ~ "Flex Zone" .
■Other types of frying pan may overheat and reach a
temperature above or below the selected heat
setting. Try the lowest temperature setting to begin
with and change it if required.
Any cookware that is suitable for induction cooking can
be used with the cooking functions. You can find
information on which types of cookware can be used
with an induction hob in section ~ "Induction
cooking".
The cooking assistance functions table lists which
cookware is suitable for which functions.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the pot
throughout the entire cooking process. This ensures
that the cooking power is controlled with high precision
to maintain the correct temperature and achieve
optimum cooking results.
Your hob has two different temperature-measuring
systems for achieving the best results:
■Temperature sensors that are located inside the hob
and monitor the temperature of the base of the
cookware. Suitable for the frying sensor.
■A wireless cooking sensor that transmits information
about the temperature of the cookware to the control
panel. Suitable for the cooking functions.
The cooking sensor is essential for using the cooking
functions.
If your hob does not have a wireless cooking sensor,
this can be purchased from specialist retailers, our
technical after-sales service or our official website by
quoting the reference number HEZ39050.
You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor
You can use the frying sensor when pan-frying food with
a small amount of oil.
Hotplates with this function are marked with the frying
sensor symbol.
Benefits
■The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
■A signal will sound once the empty frying pan has
reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and
food.
Notes
■Do not put the lid on the pan as this will prevent the
controller from working. You can use a splatter
guard to prevent the oil from spitting.
■Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1 or 2.
■Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
■If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
■Always use the cooking functions when frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan. "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", heat setting 5.

prevents the food from spilling over. In addition, the
temperature setting does not need to be changed.
■A signal sounds once the water or oil has reached
the optimum temperature for adding the food. The
table shows if the food needs to be added right at
