Hob · Flexible zones and connected features

Why does the hob display show a pan in an unexpected place?

The display represents the system's detection of the cookware. Pan size, position and the active flexible-zone mode can affect that representation.

What the observation means

A large base may cover several sections, while an unsuitable small base may be detected imperfectly. The graphic is not a reason to ignore the physical arrangement.

A useful next step

Compare the placement with the manual and use compatible cookware. Confirm the assigned level before cooking. If detection is persistently inconsistent in an approved layout, stop using the feature and seek advice rather than guessing which area will heat.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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