Operating the appliance
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface have
a maximum power.
The maximum power is reached when the heat
setting 9 has been set for all cooking zones.
Two cooking zones generate a pair (see figure)
and therefore, the power management shares
the maximum available power between these
cooking zones.
When the power function is selected for one
cooking zone, the power management makes
the additional power for this cooking zone
available by reducing the power of the corre-
sponding other cooking zone.
Example: the heat setting 9 is selected on one
cooking zone. The power function is switched
on for the corresponding cooking zone. The
power function is carried out but the heat set-
ting 9 of one of the cooking zones and the
power function for the other cooking zone of
the pair exceed the maximum power for both
at the same time. For this purpose, the power management reduces the power of the
cooking zone that switched on first from 9 to example 5 and the display of this cooking
zone changes between 9 and 5 and then stays at the current possible maximum 5. (If the
display changes between 9 and 5 or 9 and 3 or another value depends on the type of
appliance and the size of the cooking zone.).
