Only within the model's stated arrangement. Detection, control and minimum dimensions determine whether the pans can be used independently.
What the observation means
Two pans touching or overlapping sections may not behave as expected. A flexible label is not permission to crowd the area with arbitrary cookware.
A useful next step
Follow the placement diagram and confirm each displayed setting. If the hob combines or loses recognition unexpectedly, stop and check the instructions. Do not use extra metal between pans or raise power to overcome a layout the system does not support.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
