.
T
wo operating examples are illustrated
in the pictures
b
elow
.
In picture A, the
f
ront le
f
t
-
hand cooking zone is operating at
maximum power
(
level 9
)
and, as a result, the rear le
f
t
-
hand
cooking zone cannot
b
e set any higher than level 7
;
the
corresponding Max indicator light is illuminated
.
As soon as
the power o
f
the
f
ront cooking zone has decreased, the
corresponding Max indicator light will switch o
ff
and the rear
cooking zone may
b
e set to a higher power level
.
Picture B illustrates a similar example,
b
ut with cooking zones
positioned diagonally
.
I

.
In

which are illuminated
when each corresponding plate has reached its maximum
power output
.
When all the indicator lights corresponding to
the active hotplates are illuminated, i
