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.

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 suitable cookware.

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.

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.

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".

The noises during operation

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
  whistle sound: you use a cooking zone with a high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.

Examples of cooking applications

The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power.

The data in the table is for guidance only.
