Tip
To check the suitability of your
cookware:
Place the vessel on a cooking zone at
power level 4.
If the display remains on, your cookware is
compatible.
If the display flashes, your cookware cannot
be used with induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet to test the
cookware.
If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the
cookware, it is compatible with induction.

POWER SHARING
Under the pretense that only one zone is
used with an adequate utensil covering the
whole surface of the coil, and that power on
the zone is adjusted to the maximum (‘12’):
- the maximum power output of 22 cm (9”)
heating zone is 2.8 kW;
- the maximum power output of 16 cm (6
1/2”) heating zone is 2.0 kW.
If only one coil is employed, it can be
utilized at its maximum power, but as soon
as the other coil is turned on, the controls
adjust the power on both coils
automatically for ‘power sharing’. This
power sharing is administered by unit’s
microprocessors, which will alternate
power between the two elements. There are
two factors affecting improved power
sharing on your cooktops.
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.
