OPERATION
Selecting the cooking zone heat setting
When the cooking zone display (3) shows „0" and a decimal point, start setting the desired heat
setting by sliding your finger across the heat selection sensor field (2).
Booster function „P"
The Booster Function increases the nominal power of the 220 x 190 mm cooking zone from
2100W to 3700W and the Ø 180/260 mm cooking zone from 1850/3700W to 3000/5500W
When a cooking zone is active (3), activate the booster function by touching the „P" sensor field
(6). Activation of the booster function will be indicated by the letter „P" shown on the relevant
cooking zone display (3).
To switch off the Booster function, touch the heat setting selection sensor field (2) and reduce
the heat setting, or lift the pot from the cooking zone.
For 220x190 mm, Ø 180/260 mm cooking zone, operation of the Booster function
is limited to 5 minutes. Once the Booster function is automatically deactivated,
the cooking zone continues to operate at its nominal power. The Booster function
can be reactivated, provided the appliance electronic circuits and induction coils
are not overheated.
When the pot is lifted from the cooking zone when the Booster function is in ope-
ration, it remains active and the countdown continues.
When the appliance electronic circuits or induction coils overheat when the Booster
function is in operation, it is automatically deactivated. The cooking zone continues
to operate at its nominal power.
Booster function control
Depending on the model, the cooking zones are paired vertically or crosswise. Total power is
shared within the paired cooking zones (see figure).
If you attempt to enable the Booster function for both cooking zones simultaneously, the ma-
ximum power available would be exceeded. In that case the heat setting of the first activated
cooking zone will be reduced to the highest level available.
If activating Booster function causes the overall power limit of a pair to be
exceeded, the heat setting of the other cooking zone in a pair will be automa-
tically reduced.
The amount by which power is reduced depends on the type of pot used.
