POWER MANAGEMENT
• Cooking zones are grouped according to the
location and number of the phases in the hob.
See the illustration.
• Each phase has a maximum electricity loading of
3700 W.
• The function divides the power between
cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• The function activates when the total electricity
loading of the cooking zones connected to a
single phase exceeds 3700 W.
• The function decreases the power to the other
cooking zones connected to the same phase.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones
alternates between the chosen heat setting and
the reduced heat setting. After some time the
heat setting display of the reduced zones stays
on the reduced heat setting.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
COOKWARE
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat
in the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
correct cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer
(with correct mark from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of
the bottom of the cookware automatically to some
limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives only a
part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to “Technical information”
chapter.
