20  Power limitation

You can use the PowerManager function to set the total
power of the hob.
The hob is set at the factory; the hob's maximum power
is shown on the rating plate. You can use this function
to adjust the configuration to the requirements of each
electrical installation.
In order to not exceed this set value, the hob automat-
ically distributes the available power as needed
between the cooking zones that are switched on.
While this function is activated, the output of each
cooking zone may temporarily fall below the nominal
value. In order to not exceed this set value, the hob

automatically distributes the available power as needed
between the cooking zones that are switched on  . The
appliance regulates and selects the highest power level
automatically.
