fields which activate a desired function. Do not cover other sensor fields.
If the control bar is touched for longer than 6 seconds, a signal sounds and the appliance
switches itself off.

WARNING!
Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some
time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .
Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of
the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

8Operating the appliance

Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a
maximum power.
The maximum power is reached when the heat
setting 14 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 cook-
ing 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 corresponding oth-
er cooking zone.
Example: the heat setting 14 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 setting 14 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
14 to example 5 and the display of this cooking zone changes between 14 and 5 and then
stays at the current possible maximum 5 (If the display changes between 14 and 5 or 14
and 3 or another value depends on the type of appliance and the size of the cooking zone).
