5.3.3 power setting
All cooking zones are equipped with a power-enhancing
power setting.
The power setting can be used in order to quickly heat up
large quantities of water. If the power setting is activated,
the cooking zones will run at extra high power. After
10 minutes, the cooking zone is automatically switched
to power level

If the bridging function is activated, the power setting
cannot be used.
If cooking zone overheating protection is activated, the
power setting cannot be activated. The display flashes for
3 seconds and then switches back.
INFO
Never heat up oil, fat and the like at this power
setting. The bottom of the pan can overheat
due to the high power output.

Touch control
The operating panel is fitted with electronic sensor buttons,
a setting field and display panels. The sensor buttons
respond to finger contact.
You operate the device by touching the corresponding
sensor button with your finger. Keep the finger pressed
on the sensor button until you either hear an acoustic
signal or the display changes accordingly.
5.3 Functional principle of the
cooking zone
An induction coil is located underneath an induction
cooking zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil
creates a magnetic field that acts directly on the base of
the pot thus heating it up. The cooking zone is only
indirectly heated up by the heat emitted by the pot.
Cooking zones with induction only work if the cookware
has a magnetisable base.
The induction automatically takes into account the size
of the cookware used so that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.

5.3.1 Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in
the very quick heating up of cookware. A slight adjust-
ment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level in order to avoid
burning food.
