Power Sharing Zones
Power sharing is taking the power from the adjacent zone.
For example, if zones
C
,
D
and
E
(Fig. 2.8)
are set to power
level
9
, or set to Power Boost (
P
) the power level in
D
or
E
will
adjust in the order it was switched on.
n
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
both the hob and pan.
Example 1
: Set zone
C
to power level
9
, switch on zone
D
to power level
9
and then zone
E
to power level
9
. After a
few seconds zone
D
power level will reduce to
7
.
Zone C will
remain at P or 9
Example 2
: Set zone
C
to power level
9,
switch on zone
E
to power level
9
and then zone
D
to power level
9
. After a
few seconds zone
E
power level will reduce to
6
.
Zone C will
remain at P or 9
Example 3
: Set zone
D
and
E
to power level
9
and then zone
C
to power level
9
. After a few seconds zone
E
power level will
reduce to
6
.
The same principle applies when using zone
A
and
B
. When
using zone
A
on Power Boost (
P
) and then switching zone
B
to Power Boost (
P
), the power to zone
A
will reduce slightly.

This is a built-in safety device.
The Bridging-Zone Function
Zones A and B can be bridged, creating an area, ideal for use
with an induction griddle (supplied).
Note:
The griddle should comprise of an induction friendly,
flat bottom, large enough to cover zones A and B of the
hotplate heating area (
DO NOT
use zones C, D or E to heat the griddle (
).
To activate the bridging-zone function, simultaneously turn
the two left-hand controls completely clockwise (
and hold until the [
] symbols appear in the centre of the
hob control display (
). The temperature can then be
adjusted using the left-hand knob (
Turn both knobs counter-clockwise to cancel the dualzone
function and return to normal operation.
n
DO NOT turn the two left-hand knobs individually
to heat the griddle. This can cause excessive
temperatures and damage the coating on the
griddle.
