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 vacuumpacked 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.

6.20 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 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.

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.
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.

7.6 Hints and Tips for the Food Sensor
For functions such as Assisted Cooking and Sous Vide, you can use the Food Sensor on the left side of the hob only. With the Thermometer function you can use the Food Sensor also on the right side of the hob.
To ensure strong connection ( ) between the Food Sensor and the hob:
For liquids

• Immerse the Food Sensor in the liquid, within the recommended immersion range. The minimum level mark has to be covered.
• Place the Food Sensor on the rim of the pot. If possible, keep it in the vertical position. Make sure its tip comes into contact with the bottom of the pot. The handle of the Food Sensor should always be outside of the pot or pan.
• If you want to use the Food Sensor on the left side of the hob, ensure that it is near the centre of the hob, at 1 – 3 o’clock position. If you want to use it on the right (with the Thermometer function), make sure it is placed at 9 – 11 o’clock position. Refer to the illustrations below.You can move the Food Sensor along the rim of the pot if the connection fails to establish.
• You can partially cover the pot with a lid.
• If you use the left front cooking zone, do not place any large pots on the left rear one. Large pots on the left rear cooking zone may block the signal. Move the large pot to the right rear cooking zone.

For solid foods (core temperature measurement)

• Insert the Food Sensor across the thickest part of the food, up to the minimum level mark. The measurement point should be in the central part of the portion.
• Make sure the Food Sensor is firmly inserted in the food. The metal parts of the Food Sensor should not touch the walls of the pot / pan. The hook of the handle has to point downwards.
• For meat / fish with a thickness of 2 – 3 cm, the tip of the Food Sensor should reach the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the Food Sensor before turning the food over.
• When using a plancha, make sure the handle of the Food Sensor stays on the right side, outside of its surface. Refer to the illustrations below.

7.7 Cooking at low temperatures
Food safety principles Make sure you comply with the following instructions when cooking at low temperatures, e.g. Sous Vide.

• Wash / disinfect your hands before preparing food. Use disposable gloves.
• Use only high quality fresh food, stored in appropriate conditions.
• Always wash and peel fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
• Keep your worktop surface and cutting boards clean. Use different cutting boards for different types of food.
• Pay special attention to food hygiene when preparing poultry, eggs, and fish. Poultry should always be prepared at the temperature of at least 65 °C for a minimum of 50 minutes.
• Make sure the fish you want to prepare with the use of Sous Vide have the sashimi quality, i.e. it is extra fresh.
• Store the prepared food in a refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours.
• For people with a weakened immune system or chronic health conditions it is advisable to pasteurise food before consuming it. Pasteurise the food at 60 °C for a minimum of one hour.

7.8 Cooking Guide
The table below shows examples of food types and provides you with the optimal temperatures and suggested cooking times.
The parameters may vary depending on the temperature, quality, consistency, and quantity of food.
The length of the cooking time depends more on the thickness of the food than on its weight. E.g. for steak, the thicker the piece, the more time it takes for its core to reach the pre-defined temperature. A 2 cm-thick steak requires around one hour to reach 58 °C, while a 5 cm-thick one needs around four hours.
Monitor the first cooking session to ensure the parameters below suit your cooking habits and cookware. You can change these parameters depending on your personal preferences.

1. The egg white stays liquid.
2. The times are for medium-sized eggs. For large eggs and eggs from the fridge add one minute to the cooking time.

Additional tips for Assisted Cooking:

• Fill the pot with a suitable amount of liquid (i.e. between 1 – 3 litres) before cooking. Try to avoid adding more while cooking.
• Use a lid to save energy and reach the temperature faster (also for preheating water).
• Stir your dish regularly throughout the cooking process to ensure a uniform temperature distribution.
• Add salt at the very beginning of a cooking session.
• Defrost food before preparing it.
• Add vegetables (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, Brussels sprouts) when the water reaches the intended temperature and the pop-up window appears.
• Add potatoes or rice to cold water before you start the function.
• For stews, sauces, soups, curries, ragout, goulash, and broths you can use Reheat or Simmer. Before you start the Simmer function, fry the ingredients (without the Food Sensor) and add cold liquid; next, activate the function from Assisted Cooking.
• For small seafood, e.g. octopus slices / tentacles or shellfish you can use Pan Fry.

Additional tips for Pan Fry:
WARNING!
Use only pans with flat bottoms.
CAUTION!
Use laminated pans only with low heat setting levels, to prevent overheating and damage of the cookware.

• Start the function when the hob is cold (no preheating is necessary).
• Use sandwich bottom cookware made of stainless steel.
• Do not use cookware with an embossment in the centre of the bottom.
• Different sizes of pans can cause different heat up times. Heavy pans store more heat than the lighter ones and take more time to heat up.
• Turn the food over once it reaches a half of the desired temperature. Very thick portions of food should be turned over more often (i.e. once every two minutes). We recommend you use the Sous Vide method first, to get best results. To add a finishing touch, put the prepared portions on a pre-heated pan and roast them quickly on both sides.
• Always remove the Food Sensor before turning the food over.

7.9 Hints and Tips for Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the function:

• Protect the hood panel from direct sunlight.
• Do not spot halogen light on the hood panel.
• Do not cover the hob control panel.
• Do not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood (e.g. with the hand, a cookware handle or a tall pot). See the picture.

The hood in the picture is only exemplary.

Keep the window of the Hob²Hood infrared signal communicator clean.
Other remotely controlled appliances may block the signal.
Do not use any such appliances near to the hob while Hob²Hood is on.
