and always give you excellent results. The

recommended temperature settings are suitable for any

type of cooking.

They enable you to cook without using excessive heat

and promise the perfect cooking and frying results.

Sensors measure the heat of the saucepan or frying

pan throughout the cooking process. This ensures that

the power is continuously controlled and that the right

temperature is maintained.

Food can be added once the selected temperature has

been reached. Food will not be overheated and liquids

will not boil over.

The hotplates that have a frying sensor are marked with

the frying sensor symbol.
