With pan recognition, induction reacts to metallic items which are magnetic. Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything else.

21 Operation

Pan size recognition With induction heating, heat is only produced on the surface which is covered by a pan. The smaller the pan, the smaller the diameter which is heated To make optimum use of the cooking zones, choose pans with diameters larger than the inner markings but smaller than the outer markings. If the diameter of the pan is smaller than the inner marking, the induction heating will not work. The cooking zone will react as if there is no pan on it (see "Pan recognition"). This safety feature prevents small metallic objects (e.g. a teaspoon) being heated up if they are laid down on a cooking zone which is switched on.
