3.6 - COOKING ZONES (HOTPLATES) AND PAN DETECTION SYSTEM
The system detects the presence of a pan by measuring the inductance through the generator coil. The
inductance value depends on the diameter, the mass and the type of material used for the pan. To ensure
correct operation of the system, it is important to use a pan whose diameter is suitable for that of the cooking
zone. If the pan is too small (thus with a low inductance), it will not be detected by the system. Each cooking
zone requires the use of pans with different minimum diameters (see table below).
