Sensors and special accessories

The sensors measure the temperature of the pot
throughout the entire cooking process. This ensures
that the cooking power is controlled with high precision
to maintain the correct temperature and achieve
optimum cooking results.
Your hob has two different temperature-measuring
systems for achieving the best results:
Temperature sensors that are located inside the hob
and monitor the temperature of the base of the
cookware. Suitable for the frying sensor.
A wireless cooking sensor that transmits information
about the temperature of the cookware to the control
panel. Suitable for the cooking functions.
The cooking sensor is essential for using the cooking
functions.
If your hob does not have a wireless cooking sensor,
this can be purchased from specialist retailers, our
technical after-sales service or our official website by
quoting the reference number HZ39050.
You can find information about the cooking sensor in
section ~ "Preparing and maintaining the wireless
temperature sensor"

Functions and heat settings

Frying sensor
You can use the frying sensor when pan-frying food with
a small amount of oil.
Hotplates with this function are marked with the frying
sensor symbol.
Benefits
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
A signal will sound once the empty frying pan has
reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and
food.
Notes
Do not put the lid on the pan as this will prevent the
controller from working. You can use a splatter
guard to prevent the oil from spitting.
Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1 or 2.
Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are
heating it.
If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
Always use the cooking functions when frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan. "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", heat setting 5.
Within the next 10 seconds, select the required

temperature setting from the settings range.

the fat and then the food to the pan.
