Power manager
Power manager
You can use the power manager to set the total power
of the hob.
The hob is preset at the factory. Its maximum
performance is specified on the rating plate. You can
use the power manager to change the value in
accordance with the requirements for the relevant
electrical installation.
In order not to exceed this set value, the hob
automatically distributes the power available between
the cooking zones that are switched on.
As long as the power manager function is activated, the
output of a cooking zone may temporarily fall below the
nominal value. If a cooking zone is switched on and the
power limit is reached,
¬
appears in the heat setting
display for a short time. The appliance automatically
regulates and selects the highest possible power level.
For more information about how the total power of the
hob is changed, see section
~
"Basic settings"
