6Handle with antenna inside
The Food Sensor is a wireless temperature
probe operating without a battery, delivered
in a packaging with the hob. Inside its handle
there is an antenna. Another antenna is
located below the hob surface, in the area
between the two rear cooking zones. To
ensure proper communication between the
Food Sensor and the hob do not put anything
on the hob in this area.
The measurement point is located halfway
between the tip and the minimum level mark.
Insert the Food Sensor in the food at least up
to the minimum level mark. For liquids, to get
the best cooking results, immerse the Food
Sensor in the liquid 2-5 cm above the
minimum level mark. Place the Food Sensor
on the rim of the pot or pan by the hook;
close to the area with the antenna, at 1 - 3
o'clock position (for the left side of the hob) or
9 - 11 o'clock position (for the right side of the
hob).
The following indicators show the strength of
the connection between the hob and the
Food Sensor on the display: , , . If
ENGLISH 9

the hob cannot establish the connection,
comes on. You can move the Food Sensor
along the rim of the pot to establish or
strengthen the connection. The hob
refreshes the connection status every 3
seconds.
For more information refer to
"Hints and Tips for the Food
Sensor".
4.4 Key features of your hob
Your new SensePro® hob expertly guides
you through the entire cooking session. Refer
to the information below to discover several
of its best features.
Depending on the kind of food, you can use
Assisted Cooking with or without the Food
Sensor. For various dishes you get different
sets of functions.
Food Sensor - can be used in two ways.
It measures the temperature in functions
such as Thermometer and Pan Fry as well as
helps you accurately maintain the
temperature for different food types while
cooking Sous Vide or using functions such as
Poach, Simmer or Reheat.
Assisted Cooking - facilitates cooking by
providing you with ready-made recipes for
various dishes, pre-defined cooking
parameters, and step-by-step instructions.
You can use it with the Food Sensor, e.g. to
prepare a steak, or without it, e.g. to prepare
pancakes. The available options depend on
the kind of dish you want to make. In this
mode you can use functions such as Sous
Vide, Pan Fry, Simmer, Reheat, and many
more. Pop-up windows and sounds inform
you when the pre-defined temperature is
reached. You can access Assisted Cooking
from the Menu.
Sous Vide - a method of cooking vacuum-
packed food in low temperature, for a
prolonged period of time, which helps you
save vitamins and maintain the flavour. Your
hob provides you with clear settings and
instructions to follow. Once you select the
function via Assisted Cooking, the
temperatures are defined for different food
types. You can also choose your own
temperatures if you activate the function via
Sous Vide in the Menu.
Pan Fry - a frying method with
automatically controlled heat levels,
dedicated to various types of food. It helps
you avoid overheating of food or oil. You can
activate it by selecting Assisted Cooking from
the Menu.
Thermometer - with this function the Food
Sensor measures the temperature while
cooking. You cannot use it when the Assisted
Cooking function operates.
Other useful features of your hob:
Melting - this function is perfect for
melting chocolate or butter.
PowerBoost - this function quickly boils
large quantities of water.
Pause - this function lowers the heat
setting to 1 for all cooking zones, enabling
you to keep the food warm for a long time.
Bridge - this function allows you to
combine both left side zones and use larger
cookware. You can use it with Pan Fry.
Hob²Hood - this function connects the hob
with a special hood and adjusts the fan
speed accordingly.
Lock - this function temporarily disables
the control panel during cooking.
Child Lock - this function disables the
control panel while the hob does not operate,
preventing accidental use.
Stopwatch, Count Down Timer, and
Minute Minder - are three functions that you
can choose between to monitor the cooking
time.
For more info, refer to "Daily use".

6.19 Power Management
If multiple zones are active and the
consumed power exceeds the limitation of
the power supply, this function divides the
available power between all cooking zones.
The hob controls heat settings to protect the
fuses of the house installation.
• Cooking zones are grouped according to
the location and number of the phases in
the hob. Each phase has a maximum
electricity loading of 3680 W. If the hob
reaches the limit of maximum available
power within one phase, the power of the
18 ENGLISH

cooking zones will be automatically
reduced.
• The maximum heat setting is visible on
the slider. Only the digits in white are
active.
• If a higher heat setting is not available
reduce it for the other cooking zones first.
Refer to the illustration for possible
combinations in which power can be
distributed among the cooking zones.
7. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field
creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware dimensions
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking zones
specification". Avoid keeping cookware
close to the control panel during the
cooking session. This might impact the
functioning of the control panel or
accidentally activate hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
7.2 Correct pans for Pan Fry
function
Use only pans with flat bottom. To check if
the pan is correct:
1. Put your pan upside down.
2. Put a ruler on the bottom of the pan.
3. Try to put a coin of 1, 2 or 5 Euro Cent
(or with similar thickness) between the
ruler and the bottom of the pan.
a. The pan is incorrect if you can put the
coin between the ruler and the pan.
ENGLISH 19

b. The pan is correct if you cannot put
the coin between the ruler and the
pan.
7.3 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs, the pot
is detected after you place it on the hob.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate
any malfunction.
7.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking
zone deactivates before the count down
timer sounds. The difference in the operation
time depends on the heat setting level and
the length of the cooking operation.
7.5 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.
