Suitable cookware
Select the cooking zone with the diameter that most
closely matches that of the base of the cookware and
place the cookware in the centre of this cooking zone.
For the cooking functions, use cookware that is high
enough that the required water volume lies above the
silicone patch for the wireless sensor.
There are frying pans that are perfect for using with the
frying sensor. These can be purchased from specialist
retailers, our technical after-sales service or our official
website. Quote the relevant reference number:
■ HEZ390210 15 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390220 19 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390230 21 cm frying pan.
■ HEZ390250 28 cm frying pan. Recommended for
the FlexPlus cooking zone only.
■ HEZ390512 teppan yaki. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
■ HEZ390522 griddle plate. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
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
This function maintains the correct temperature in the
frying pan as frying progresses.
Advantages
■ The burner only heats up if this is necessary to retain
the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the
oil or fat from overheating.
■ The frying sensor reports when the empty frying pan
has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil
and then for adding the food.
Notes
■ Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent fat from spitting out of the
pan.
■ Use suitable oil or fat. If you are 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 cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not
activated correctly.
■ When frying with a large amount of oil, always use
the function for deep-fat frying with a large amount of
oil, level 5.
