Sensor cooking system

The sensor cooking system is suitable for dishes heated in
liquid or lots of fat. When you extend the cooking sensors, you
can cook directly on the adjacent cooking zones with the
sensor cooking system.
Note: The sensor cooking system is not suitable for frying.
How the sensor cooking system works
Every pot containing hot food gives off heat. The cooking
sensor detects this heat and the hob uses this to automatically
regulate the temperature of the pot.
Advantages when cooking
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This saves
■
energy.
Oil and fat do not overheat.
■
Boiling over is prevented and you do not have to keep
■
correcting the temperature.

The temperature ranges

When cooking with the sensor cooking system, instead of
setting heat settings, you set temperature ranges. There are five
temperature ranges available:
Temperature range
170 - 180 °C
110 - 120 °C
90 - 100 °C
80 - 90 °C
60 - 70 °C

Altitude calibration

The point at which water begins to boil depends on the height
of your kitchen above sea level. If your food is boiling too
vigourously or too weakly, you can set the boiling point:
Call up ™... in the basic settings. Select the hotplate. The default
setting is „ . Select the appropriate value for your altitude:
Level
0 ­ 100 m
100 ­ 200 m
200 ­ 400 m
400 ­ 600 m
600 ­ 800 m
800 ­ 1000 m
1000 ­ 1200 m
1200 ­ 1400 m
above 1400 m
* Basic setting
You can find out how to change the values in the Basic settings
section.
Notes
At altitudes of 0 ­ 400 m, the boiling point need not be set.
■
Initially, you should cook using the default setting. If you are
not satisfied with the boiling result, change the boiling point
setting.
The 90­100 °C temperature range is adequate for boiling,
■
even if the water does not bubble as much as usual.

Saucepans for the sensor cooking system

Sensor-compatible saucepans have a surface which dissipates
heat to the sensor particularly well. If saucepans are used that
are unsuitable, the adjustment function does not work. The food
could boil over or burn.
Suitable saucepans
You can use suitable enamelled saucepans. The base of the
pot must be large enough to completely cover the hotplate. Use
the supplied sensor strips with stainless steel and aluminium
saucepans.
Sensor strips
The sensor strips enclosed can also be obtained as a special
accessory from your specialist electrical store. Please specify
the HZ number: HZ 390001

Cooking with the cooking sensor technology

The hotplate must be selected.
Place the food in the pot and fill with at least two fingers'
1.
depth of liquid.
Place the pot in the centre of the hotplate and cover with the
2.
lid.
Press the cooking sensor on the desired hotplate so that it
3.
pops out. The ' in the display lights up. The possible
temperature ranges appear in the display menu.

Within the next 10 seconds, set the desired temperature on
4.
the settings range. The temperature lights up in the display.
The sensor cooking system is activated.
