FlexInduction
®
Cooking Zone
You can combine the elements into a large cooking zone
as needed or use two elements that are independent of
one another.
The FlexInduction
®
cooking zone consists of 4 inductors,
which are controlled independently of one another. When
FlexInduction
®
is in use, only the area is activated that is
covered by cookware.
