Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of
materials that distribute heat evenly, such as saucepans
with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and
energy.
Cookware with a completely flat base works best. If the
base of the cookware is uneven or embossed, this will
reduce the heat supply.
Cookware that has been removed or is of an
unsuitable size
Always place items of cookware inside the usable area
of the cooking surface. If the cookware is not positioned
correctly, is made of an unsuitable material or is not the
right size, the symbol will appear next to the cooking
:
position display. Move the cookware or try again with a
different pot or pan.
If you lift the "active" cookware from the cooking surface
for more than 30 seconds, the cooking position
automatically switches off.
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty items of cookware and do not use
cookware that has a thin base. The hob is equipped
with an internal safety system. However, an empty item
of cookware can heat up so quickly that the automatic
switch-off function has no time to react and an
excessively high temperature is reached. This could
melt the base of the cookware and damage the glass
plate. If this happens, switch off the hob and do not
touch the cookware. If this no longer works once it has
cooled down, contact our technical after-sales service.

Pan detection
The hob uses the ferromagnetic diameter and material
of the base of the cookware to automatically detect the
position, size and shape of the cookware being used.
Cookware with a base measuring 90 to 340 mm in
diameter is suitable for use.
The cooking position displays may show a size
Note:
and shape that is different from the cookware actually
being used. This is normal and does not affect the
functioning of the hob. For more information, see the
