Power management
If multiple zones are active and the consumed power exceeds the limitation of the power
supply, this function divides the available power between all cooking zones. The hob
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 (3300 W). If the hob reaches the
limit of maximum available power within one phase, the power of the cooking zones will
be automatically reduced.
• The heat setting of the cooking zone selected last is always prioritised. The remaining
power will be divided between the previously activated cooking zones in reverse order
of selection.
• The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between the initially selected
heat setting and the reduced heat setting.
• Wait until the display stops flashing or reduce the heat setting of the cooking zone
selected last. The cooking zones will continue operating with the reduced heat setting.
Change the heat settings of the cooking zones manually, if necessary.
13

Refer to the illustration for possible combinations in which power can be distributed among
the cooking zones.
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.
• 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not slide or rub the pot across the ceramic glass.
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.
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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal cooking results, do not use cookware larger than
indicated in "Cooking zones specification". Avoid keeping cookware close to the control
panel during the cooking session. This might impact the functioning of the control panel
or accidentally activate hob functions.
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.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not indicate any malfunction.
Examples of cooking applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses
less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
