Why can a frying sensor require specified cookware?

Its control method may be designed around particular compatible pan characteristics. A sensor setting cannot make arbitrary cookware behave like the reference pan.

What the observation means

Base construction and size affect the conditions being controlled. The manual's accessory list and programme instructions take priority over a generic pan label.

A useful next step

Use the approved arrangement and do not preheat an empty pan beyond its instructions. Record the pan reference and sensor programme if results change. A warning should not be bypassed by selecting a guessed temperature or repeatedly restarting the sensor.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
