‒ For cooking zones with an enlargement function,
you can only turn the knob to the left to turn them
on.

zones on and off. This is normal. The cooking
zones always heat at full power and are turned on

elements will be switched on and off. This is
normal.

If he residual heat display is lit up, the cooking zone is

desired temperature quickly. Then always switch back
to the desired heat level.

as well as the size and contents of the pot may require
more or less heat.
