5.10 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
(connected to the same phase). 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 (3700 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.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 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).
• 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.
Refer to the illustration for possible
combinations in which power can be
distributed among the cooking zones.
• 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
