A:Answer Hi Mark H,
Yes, this Samsung range model has a pan detector equipped. Given in your example, when lifting the pan to shake or stir the food and then returning the pan to the cooktop, you have 30 seconds to do so until an error comes on "Cookware incompatible or not placed." If the pan is not returned within 30 seconds or the pan is not detected by the cooktop the cooking zone will turn off and you will have to reset the controls.
I have shared this model's user manual link below. Please turn to pages 22 - 28 for operating the cooktop and its guidelines.
