Thermador CEF Manual De Usuario

Each element has sensors under the glass ceramic 

panel which detect if there is a metallic pan (sauce 

pan, skillet, stockpot, etc) sitting on the element. The 

elements will heat up when it is turned on and the 

sensor detects the presence of a pan. This feature 

is either on or off for all elements and works together 

with the pan sizing feature .

The element will not heat if it is turned on without a 

pan present or if the pan is removed from the ele-

ment when it is operating. If no pan is present on the 

element, a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After 10 

minutes, the cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan 

is placed on the element.

On the double and triple elements, a sensor under the 

cooktop can choose the size pan being used and turn 

on the appropriate element. This feature is either on 

or off for all the elements and works together with the 

pan sensing feature. 

•  A cooking pan must be sitting on the element for 

the element to heat up.

•  Only pans with fl at metal bases can be detected.

•  The bottom diameter of the pan must be at least  

as large as the diameter of the element   

 

(cookware diameter indicated by manufacturers  

is measured across the top and is usually greater  

than the bottom.)

•  Only metal cookware can be used with the pan   

sensing and pan sizing features. Glass or  

 

stoneware will not work.

•  Center the cookware over the element.

•  A large pan cannot extend beyond 1” over the    

sides of the largest element.
