Suitable cookware
Select the hotplate with the diameter that most closely
matches that of the base of the cookware and place the
cookware in the centre of this hotplate.
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.
There are frying pans that are optimally suited to the
frying sensor function. These can be purchased from
specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales
service or our official website. Always quote the relevant
reference number:
▯ GP900001 small pan (15cm diameter)
▯ GP900002 medium pan (18cm diameter)
▯ GP900003 large pan (21cm diameter)
▯ CA051300 Teppanyaki. 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 function has been configured
specifically for this type and size of pan.
– Using a pan of a different size or one that is poorly
positioned on the flexible cooking zones may result
in the frying sensor function not being activated.
See the section entitled ~ "Flex function"
on page 20
.
– Other types of pan may overheat and the
temperature may be above or below the selected
heat setting. Try the lowest heat setting to begin
with and change it if necessary.
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 the section entitled
~ "Induction cooking" on page 9.
The table of automatic functions lists the cookware that
is suitable for each function.
Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the saucepan
or frying pan throughout the cooking process. This
ensures that the power is controlled with high precision
and that the right temperature is maintained:
Your hob has two different temperature measuring
systems:
▯ Frying sensor function: Temperature sensors are
located underneath the hob. These monitor the
temperature of the base of the frying pan.
▯ Cooking sensor function: A wireless temperature
sensor transmits the temperature of the saucepan
to the control panel. The sensor is attached to the
saucepan.
A wireless temperature sensor is required for the
cooking sensor function. You can purchase this from
specialist retailers, from our technical after-sales
service or from our official website – you will need to
quote the reference number CA060300.
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section entitled
~ "Preparation and maintenance of the wireless
temperature sensor"
Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor function
You can use the frying sensor function to pan-fry food
with a small amount of oil.
This function is available for all hotplates.
Advantages
▯ The hotplate only heats when necessary. This saves
energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
▯ An audible signal will sound once the empty frying
pan has reached the optimal temperature for adding
the oil and food.
Notes
– Do not place a lid on the frying pan. Otherwise, the
function will not activate correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent fat from splashing out.
– Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If you are
using butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or
lard, use temperature setting 1or 2.
– Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
– If the hotplate is at a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
– For frying with a large amount of oil, always use the
cooking sensor function. For frying with a large
amount of oil in the saucepan, set the temperature
to 170-180° C.
