for 3 seconds. P0 to P9 comes on.

4. Touch of front left zone to set the

power level. Power levels Refer to “Technical information” chapter.

• P9 — 6000 W CAUTION! Make sure that the selected power fits to the house installation fuses.

4.11 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 changes between two levels. Power management function with Power limitation function When you set the Power limitation function to 4.5 kW or less, power of the hob is divided between all cooking zones. When you set the Power limitation function to more than 4.5 kW, power of the hob is divided between two cooking zones in a pair.

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters. www.aeg.com105.1 Cookware For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly. Use the induction cooking zones with 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.

5.2 The noises during

operation If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).

• whistle sound: you the cooking zone with high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not refer to hob malfunction.

• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.

• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm or to melt it.

5.4 Examples of cooking

applications The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power. The data in the table is for guidance only. Heat setting Use to: Time (min) Hints
