Automatic Detection
The automatic detection function checks whether or not a container is placed on top of the burner.
When a container is placed on the burner, the words "Auto Detected" will be displayed. (The words "Auto Detected" will disappear after 30 seconds or when the burner is running.)
The words "Auto Detected" will not be displayed if a container is not placed on the burner, and this function is activated initially only once after the power is turned on.
Depending on the conditions of use (whether the burner is being used, the container material, status of the container base, etc.), the automatic detection time may differ or the cookware may not be detected automatically.
If the cookware is too small, the words "Auto Detected" may not be displayed.
