5.6 AutoChef®
With the AutoChef® function, a sensor controls the tem-
perature of the pan. You can fry while the pan maintains
the selected temperature.
Cooking zones marked with are equipped with
this function.
Advantages when using the AutoChef® function:
¡ 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 overheat-
ing.
¡ The frying function reports when the empty frying pan
has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil
and then for adding the food.
