INFORMATION!
The bridged cooking zone does not allow operation with a power boost; only power levels up to
9 are available.
Deactivating the bridged cooking zone

Set the power level of the combined cooking zone to "0". The sign will disappear and heating
will be switched off.
• Both cooking zones will operate independently.
Pan position recognition with automatic bridging of cooking
zones
(only with some models)
Pan position recognition is activated automatically 10 seconds after the appliance is switched on. If
there is a pan on the hob, the pan recognition function will recognize its position and automatically
bridge the cooking zones depending on the size of the pan. Two adjacent cooking zones can be
merged into a single large cooking zone.
The sign will appear on the display unit for the rear field to indicate
that the two cooking zones are bridged.
• Set the desired cooking power for the bridged cooking zone.
• To change the bridged zone's cooking power later on, use the (H)
or (I) key for the lower cooking zone.
INFORMATION!
The bridged zone does not allow the power boost setting P. Maximum available power level is
9.
Automatic pan position recognition can be activated at any time for 10 seconds by pressing the pan
recognition key (C3). Automatic pan recognition and automatic cooking zone bridging are only effective
on the cooking zones that are not yet activated. Bridging of cooking zones can be deactivated by
setting the power level to "0".
If there is no cookware on the cooking zone:
• Switch on the hob. All cooking zones are set to "0".
• Place the pan on any cooking zone. "0" starts to flash on the cooking zone with the pan. Cooking
zone power can be adjusted by pressing the (H) or (I) keys for the respective cooking zone. The
function automatically bridges the cooking zones on the left-hand side of the cooking hob,
depending on the pan size.
• You may continue with the next pan, using the same procedure.
If the cookware is already on the cooking hob:
• Switch on the cooking hob.
• "'0" will flash on the display unit of the cooking zone with the cookware on it. Cooking zone power
can be adjusted by pressing the (H) or (I) keys for the respective cooking zone.
• If there are several pans on the cooking zone, the hob will automatically detect all pans and "0"
will flash on display units of all zones on which a pan has been placed.
