Sensors and special accessories
The sensors measure the temperature of the cookware
continuously. This regulates the cooking power very
precisely in order to retain the correct temperature and
achieve perfect cooking results.
Your cooktop has two different systems for temperature
measurement in order to achieve the best results:
▯
Temperature sensors that are inside the cooktop and
check the temperature at the base of the cookware.
Suitable for frying sensor technology for frying pans.
▯
A wireless cooking sensor that transmits information
about the temperature of the cookware to the control
panel. Suitable for the cooking functions.
The cooking sensor is essential for using the cooking
functions.
If your cooktop does not have a wireless cooking sensor,
this can be retroactively purchased from specialist
retailers, our technical customer service or our official
website by quoting the reference number
CA060300
.
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section entitled

Functions and heat settings
Frying sensor technology for frying pans
If you are frying food, use this function to maintain the
suitable frying pan temperature.
This function exists for all cooking zones.
Advantages when frying
▯
The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature. This
saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from
overheating.
▯
The frying sensor technology reports when the empty
frying pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
▯
Do not place a lid on the frying pan. This will prevent
the function from activating correctly. Use a splatter
guard to prevent fat from spitting out.
▯
Use suitable oil or fat. If you are using butter,
margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature setting 1
or 2.
▯
Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are heating
it.
▯
If the cooking zone is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the cooking sensor is not
activated correctly.
▯
If you are frying with a large amount of oil, always use
the following cooking sensor functions: Deep-fat fry a
large amount of oil in a saucepan, set the temperature
to 320
- 355° F (160–180
°C).
