PowerManager function

You can use the PowerManager function to set the total
power of the hob.
The hob is set at the factory; the hob's maximum power
is shown on the rating plate. You can use this function
to adjust the configuration to the requirements of each
electrical installation.
In order to not exceed this set value, the hob automat-
ically distributes the available power as needed
between the cooking zones that are switched on.

While the PowerManager function is activated, the out-
put of a cooking zone may temporarily fall below the
nominal value. In order to not exceed this set value, the
hob automatically distributes the available power as
needed between the cooking zones that are switched
on  . The appliance regulates and selects the highest
power level automatically.
