If there is no cookware on the induction cooking zone, 

the heat setting display blinks. After a while, the 

cooking zone will switch itself off.

If cookware has been placed on the cooking zone 

before you turn on the cooktop, it will be detected 

within 20 seconds after you have touched the main 

switch and the cooking zone will be selected 

automatically. Once detected, set the power level 

within the next 20 seconds, otherwise the cooking

Settings table
The following table provides some examples. Cooking 

times may vary depending on the type of food, its weight 

and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

Note:  During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as 

soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly 

unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason we 

recommend that you stir continuously, gradually heating 

the food at a suitable power level.
