comes on. Touch for 4 seconds. Set the
heat setting in 10 seconds. You can
operate the hob. When you deactivate the
hob with the function operates again.
5.10 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.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field
creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or
rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
Cookware dimensions
• Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
• The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
