Power management Rules
If total power exceeds the limitation of 2.5kw, 3.0kw, 4.5kw, 6.5kw (depending on
which level you've set), you are not able to increase power stage of any zone. If you
increase it, the cooktop will beep 3 times and indicator will show a flashing 'Pn'.
Thus you need to decrease power stage of other zones before increasing the power
of objective zone.
Power Limitation in centre and right zones
Cooking zones are divided into two groups. Each group has a maximum
electricity loading of 3600 W.
The limitation decreases the power to the other cooking zones.
The heat setting display of the reduced zones changes between two levels. e. g.
if all zones are on, the biggest power level of three zones are decrease to 7-level, 7-
level, 7-level.
In Group a both two zones can work at level 9 at the same time because they are
3500 W in total.
In Group b if 3 zones are working, the max power level which each zone can reach
is 7. If the rear zone of the Group b is turned off, the other two zones can reach at
maximum power level 8.
If you want one of the zone of Group b works at the highest power level, only 2 zones
should be tuned on. The hob automatically reduces the power of the first zone you
turned on.
Using the Boost
Boost is the function that one zone rising to a larger power in one second and lasting
for 5 minutes. Thus you can get a more powerful and faster cooking.
