Guide to induction hobs

What does power sharing really mean?
Induction hobs use a lot of electrical power.
The power share feature spreads the power
out so that the internals of the hob do not
overwork and overheat.
Often this power sharing occurs when a pan
with a low iron (magnetic) content is used. In
order to induce sufficient power into the pan,
the hob is having to deliver a higher power
load than normal into that pan zone. The
hob detects this and adjusts the power down
to avoid overload and damage. It delivers
the maximum power level possible for the
pan being used.
On a standard four-zone hob, the two right-
hand heating zones are linked (they share
power) and the two left-hand ones are
linked.
For example, when the hob has the correct
amount of ventilation, and the correct pans
are used…
• Can run with all four zones on high power
(8 or 9), you may see zones flick between 8
and 9.
• Cannot run with zones on boost AND on
high power. When boost is used, the other
zone on that side will drop to low power.
