12 Progress
• 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 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.
