Empty, Cookware, detection

Page 11 highlights

Empty pans or pans with a thin base Cookware detection Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop has an internal safety system, but an empty pan could heat up so quickly the "automatic deactivation" function does not have time to react and the pan could reach a very high temperature. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In the event this occurs, do not touch the pan and turn off the element. If it does not function after cooling off, contact technical service. Each element has a minimum limit for detecting cookware, which varies based on the material of the pan you are using. Therefore, you should use the element that best matches the diameter of your pan. 12

Do

The

system,
but
an
empty
pan
could
heat
up
so
quickly
the

function
does
not
have

to
react
and
the
pan
could
reach
a
very
high
temperature.
The

could
melt
and

glass.
In
the
event
this
occurs,
do

the
element.
If
