Power Management; Saucepan Recognition - Smeg SI0644X Manual

Instructions for the user

4.2 Power management

To optimise the energy consumption, the groups made up of two
hot plates (see figure below) are prevented from supplying more
than a determined maximum operating power. If the value set for
the two hot plates exceeds the permitted power, the electronic
circuit board will automatically maintain the maximum level
permitted modifying the power supplied by the hot plates. The
power level selected by the electronic circuit board will still be
visible on the display.
Priority is given to the last zone set.

4.3 Saucepan recognition

If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the
hob to the preset power level. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed
from the cooking zone. If the saucepan recognition function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying
pan on the cooking zone being too small, only the necessary energy will be transmitted.
Saucepan recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle
inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating
the inductor.
If the container is not well positioned or is not made of the correct material after a few seconds from the
hot plate's activation, the symbol will appear on the display.
