Fl exPl us Zone
The hob has a FlexPlus cooking zone which is located
between the two flexible cooking zones and which
switches on in conjunction with the right- or left-hand
flexible cooking zone. This means that larger cooking
vessels can be used and better cooking results can be
achieved.
The FlexPlus cooking zone always switches on in
conjunction with one of the two flexible cooking zones.
It is not possible to activate these cooking zones
independently.
Notes regarding cookware
The cookware should be positioned centrally for good
thermal detection and distribution.
The cookware should cover the side hotplate and the
FlexPlus cooking zone.
Depending on the size of the cookware, the flexible
cooking zone can be activated as two independent
hotplates or as one hotplate:
Activation
1. Set down the cookware on the hotplate and make
sure that it also covers the FlexPlus cooking zone.
2. Select the cooking zone and the required heat
setting. The FlexPlus display lights up.
The flexible cooking zone is activated.
Note: If the two cooking zones next to the FlexPlus
cooking zone are covered by cookware, the FlexPlus
cooking zone indicator may flash.
To link the FlexPlus cooking zone to the corresponding
cooking zone, lift the cookware and set it back down on
the cooking zone before selecting a heat setting.
Deactivating
Remove the cookware from the hotplate. The displays
go out.
This deactivates the FlexPlus cooking zone.
