Touch Control sensor fields

The appliance is operated using Touch Control sensor fields. Functions are controlled by touching sensor fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic signals.

Touch the sensor fields from above, without covering other sensor fields.

Residual heat indicator

Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .

Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Transparent glass ceramic

With transparent glass ceramic, you must avoid letting pots and pans boil dry. Allowing pots and pans to boil dry or overheating the cooking zones can cause permanent discolourations of the cooking zone depression. However this does not affect how the cooking surface functions.

Switching the power function on and off

The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.

The power function is activated for 10 minutes. After that the induction cooking zone automatically switches back to heat setting 9.
