Power management
Total power
The hob has a maximum total permitted
power consumption which cannot be
exceeded for safety reasons.
The higher the total permitted power
consumption of the hob, the more
power levels/functions can be used on
all cooking zones at the same time.
If the set power levels/functions require
more power than can be provided in ac-
cordance with the total permitted power
consumption, the hob will distribute the
maximum permitted power between the
cooking zones.
Distribution of power
Cooking zones can be linked together
in pairs on the hob. This allows power
to be transferred from one cooking zone
(A) to another (B). As a result, the power
of cooking zone (A) is reduced.
Example: the Booster function for cook-
ing zone (B) is activated.
Cooking zone (B) which requires addi-
tional power is determined by the most
recent setting on the hob.
The values for the maximum total per-
mitted power consumption and which
cooking zones are linked together can
be found in "Familiarisation – Cooking
zone data".
You can reduce the maximum total
permitted power consumption (see
"Adjusting settings").
Effects of power distribution
If a cooking zone gives power to an-
other zone, this can have the following
effects on the zone giving the power:
- The power level is reduced.
- Auto heat-up is deactivated. Cooking
continues at the set level. If the
power is not sufficient, the power
level will be reduced again.
- The Booster function is deactivated.
- The cooking zone is switched off.
When the cooking zone stops transfer-
ring power to the other zone, the power
level can be increased again.
Tip: If you wish to cook a large quantity
of food on one cooking zone, switch the
other cooking zones to lower power
levels.
