The hob has a booster function which will increase the power output of
each zone for a ten minute period.
oSwitch on the hob, select and set the power of a
cooking zone as normal.
oPress the booster button (10) and the power output of the
relevant zone will increase to the levels shown below:-
Front left zone - 2500 W
Back left zone - 2500 W
Front right zone - 1800 W
Back left zone - 3200 W
oThe booster time is limited to 10 minutes and will switch off
automatically after this time. The zone will return to its original
power level.
oIf the saucepan is removed from the zone when the booster is
switched on, then the boosting function will remain active and
the boosting time will continue until the 10 minute booster
period has elapsed.
oThe hob has two generators which create the power for the
zones; there is one generator for each side of the hob. If the
booster function is switched on, when a zone is already active on
the same side of the hob. If there is insufficient power for the
booster function, the generator will divert power from the other
zone. You will see the reduced power level of the zone shown in
the relevant cooking zone indicator.
