5.5 CookSmart®
With the CookSmart® 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 CookSmart® 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.
Suitable pans for CookSmart®
A suitable sensor frying pan for the CookSmart® function
is available as an optional accessory.
You can purchase suitable sensor frying pans from Cus-
tomer Service, in our online shop www.thermador.com/us/
accessories or in specialized stores. Always indicate the
relevant reference number.

ing notes.
