Operating the appliance14
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes more power available to the induction cooking zones,
e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.
The power function remains activated for differing periods of time:
3 If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to
the heat setting set previously.
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface
have a maximum power available to them.
Two cooking zones make up a pair (see fig-
ure).
So that the Power function can always be
carried out, Power Management may re-
duce the power of the other cooking zone
in the pair
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a
cooking zone. The Power function is
switched on for the cooking zone paired up
with it. The Power function is performed,
but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cook-
ing zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Man-
agement reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for
example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and
then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates be-
tween 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the
size of the cooking zone.)
