under the following circumstances:
 Without a pot on the burner.
 With a pot with a base that is too small.
 When a pot unsuitable for use with an induction cooktop is being used.
After switching on a burner (selecting a power level), the power electronic, using
a test power of less than 10 watts, checks whether a change in the magnetic field
has taken place. If this is not the case, the icon
alternately with 0 in the burner display. If there is no change within 3 minutes (pot
sensor time), the burner is switched off. If no other burner is in operation, the
cooktop switches off.

Pot-Size Sensor

Each burner matches its output to the diameter of the pot base. The smaller the
diameter of the pot, the lower the power supplied. If the diameter of the pot is
less than the minimum diameter of the burner, the pot is not registered, and
induction does not take place (see also Section 010-2.3).
The given minimum diameters (diameter of flat contact surface) for the pot
sensor function are only approximate. They can vary due to the effects of
material properties and construction of the pot base. Full cooking power can only
be achieved with a suitable pot with good magnetic properties covering the full
burner area.
