controls heat settings to protect the fuses of
the house installation.
• Cooking zones are grouped according to
the location and number of the phases in
the hob. Each phase has a maximum
electricity loading. If the hob reaches the
limit of maximum available power within
one phase, the power of the cooking
zones will be automatically reduced.
