HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking
zone consumption of power is not linear. When you
increase the heat setting it is not proportional to the
increase of the cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
