cFrying Sensor
Frying Sensor
This function can be used to fry food while maintaining
the suitable frying pan temperature.
The cooking zones that have this function are identified
by the roasting function symbol.
Advantages when frying
■ The hotplate only heats up if this is required to
maintain the temperature. This saves energy and
prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
■ The roasting function reports when the empty frying
pan has reached the optimum temperature for
adding oil and then for adding the food.
Notes
■ Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the
function does not activate correctly. You can use a
splash guard to prevent splashes of grease.
■ Use suitable oil or fat for frying. If butter, margarine,
extra virgin olive oil or lard is used, set heat setting
1 or 2.
■ Never leave a frying pan, with or without food,
unattended when it is being heated.
■ If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the
cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be
activated correctly.
Frying pans for the frying sensor

■ Z9452X0 19 cm frying pan
■ Z9453X0 21 cm frying pan

The frying pans have a non-stick coating, which means
that very little oil is needed for frying.
Notes
■ The roasting function was set especially for this type
of frying pan.
■ Other frying pans may overheat. The temperature
can be set higher or lower. Try the lowest heat
setting first and then change this according to your
requirements.
■ Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying
pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Put the
pan in the centre of the hotplate.
