Always place your cookware such that its center

is aligned with the center of the burner.

Avoid hitting the glass with cookware or any

hard objects . The glass surface is highly

resistant but not unbreakable.

Pick-up your cookware when moving them

around. Do not slide them and avoid excessive

rubbing of the top, as this leaves scratches and

erases the markings .

Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed

bottoms.

Avoid leaving any metal cooking accessories,

knives and forks, or metal objects on the a hot

cooktop surface. They may get hot if left close to

any heating element in use.

Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction

cooktop; connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this

may result in an injury and property damage.

Your cooktop must never be used as a storage space or surface for piling up 

of any material.

Avoid storing flammable products in the cabi-

nets under your cooktop.

Never leave empty cookware on an induction

heating element, even when the element is

turned OFF.

Only use maximum power for boiling and frying.

Never try heating up a closed can.

Avoid pre-heating your non-stick pans (e.g. with

teflon coating) at maximum heat.

Avoid storing solid and heavy items in the cabi-

nets above your cooktop. They may unintentio-

nally drop and damage the glass.

Under the pretense that only one zone is used

with an adequate cookware covering the whole

surface of the burner, and that power on the zone

is adjusted to the maximum (‘12’):

the maximum power output of 9” heating zone is

2.8 kW;

the maximum power output of 6 1/2” heating

zone is 2.0 kW.

If only one burner is employed, it can be utilized at

its maximum power, but as soon as the other

burner is turned on, the controls adjust the power

on both burners automatically for ‘power

sharing’. This power sharing is administered by

the unit’s microprocessors, which will alternate

the power between the two elements. There are

two factors affecting improved power sharing on

your cooktops.

4.6  POWER SHARING

The first is the application of an improved

technology for power sharing - not using

common relays, but rather semiconductors

which makes power sharing quicker, thus more

efficient. The second factor is that, when in a

power-sharing mode, two zones can share full,

3.6 kW, power output of the inverter.

Note that the controls will not allow both zones

to operate at full power, and the power will be

adjusted automatically - e.g. if the power on one

zone is adjusted to a maximum, and the other

zone is turned on and power level also adjusted

to its maximum, the power level on the first zone

will automatically become lower. This change

will be visible on digital displays. The controls

are set in such a manner that the last instruction

(command) given to an element is always a

priority.
