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 tall
enough that, when the required volume of water is
added, the water level is higher than the silicone patch
for the wireless sensor.
Optimised pans and accessories are available for the
frying sensor technology. You can purchase these from
specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales
service or our official website. Always quote the relevant
reference number:
▯GP900001 15 cm frying pan.
▯GP900002 19 cm frying pan.
▯GP900003 21 cm frying pan.
▯GP900004 28 cm frying pan. Recommended for the
FlexPlus cooking zone only.
▯CA051300 teppan yaki. Recommended for the
flexible cooking zone only.
▯CA052300 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 for pans is specially optimised for
this type and size of frying pan and are ideal for
using the Teppan Yaki and grill accessories in the
flexible cooking zone.
– If the pans are a different size or are not arranged
correctly, the FlexZone's frying sensor technology
may not be activated. See section ~
function".
– Other types of pan may overheat and reach a
temperature above or below the selected
temperature level. Try the lowest temperature level
to begin with and change it if necessary.
Any cookware that can be used with the cooking
functions is suitable for the cooking sensor. You can
find information on which types of cookware can be
used with an induction hob in the section entitled
~ .
In the Cooking Assistant table, you can find the suitable
cookware for each function.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the cookware
continuously. 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 inside the hob and
check the temperature at the base of the cookware.
Suitable for frying sensor technology for pans.
▯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 retroactively purchased from specialist
retailers, our technical after-sales service or our official
website by quoting the reference number CA060300 .
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section entitled ~

Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor technology for pans
If you are frying food, use this function to maintain the
suitable pan temperature.
This function exists for all cooking zones.
Advantages when frying
▯The cooking zone only continues heating for as
long as this is necessary to maintain the
temperature. This saves energy and prevents the oil
or fat from overheating.
▯The frying sensor technology reports when the
empty 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 is not activated correctly. Use a splatter
guard to prevent fat from spitting out.
– 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.

– If you are frying with a large amount of oil, always
use the following cooking sensor functions: Deep-
fat fry a large amount of oil in a pot, set the

Temperature settings
Setting procedure
Select the appropriate temperature level from the table.
Set an empty item of cookware down on the cooking
zone.
1Select the hotplate and touch the Ú symbol. The
Ú symbol lights up in the hotplate display and the
temperature setting ‘‚ is displayed.
2Within the next 10 seconds, select the required
temperature setting using the twist knob.
3The hotplate display shows the progress of the
heating process from ¬ to ª and flashes alternately
with the set heat setting. Once the set frying
temperature has been reached, a signal will sound
and the heating indicator will go out. The heat
setting is displayed again.
4Once the frying temperature has been reached, add
the fat and then the food to the pan.
Note: Turn the food so that it does not burn.
Switch off the frying sensor technology for pans
Select the cooking zone and touch the Ú symbol or
use the twist knob to set the temperature level ‹ . A
signal sounds and the Ú symbol goes out. The function
has been deactivated.
Cooking sensor
You can use these functions to heat, simmer or cook
food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all hotplates.
Benefits
▯The cooking zone only heats up in order to maintain
the temperature. This saves energy. Oil or fat do not
overheat.
▯The temperature is continuously monitored. This
prevents the food from spilling over and you do not
need to change the temperature level.
▯The cooking sensor functions tell you when the
water or oil has reached the optimal temperature for
adding the food (see the exceptions in the table
where the food should be added at the very
beginning).
Notes
– Use pots and pans with a thick, flat base. Do not
use pots and pans with a thin or deformed base.
– Fill the pot so that the contents reach high enough
to cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
– If you are frying using just a little oil, always use the
frying sensor technology for pans.
– Position the cookware in such a way that the
wireless cooking sensor is pointing towards the
outer side of the hob.
– Do not remove the wireless cooking sensor from
the pot during cooking.
– After cooking, remove the wireless sensor from the
pot. Take care as you do so because the wireless
cooking sensor can become very hot.
