Power Sharing
In order
to give
you
more
flexibility,
your
induction
cooktop
is equipped
with
more
cooking
zones
than
the
number
of
induction
generators.
Each
of those
generators
is assigned
to
power
a specific
cooking
zone
(Fig.
23). One
or two
cooking
zones
are assigned
to each
generator.
To be able
to give you
access
to the highest
power
ratings,
the generator
will
focus
its power
onto
only
one cooking
zone.
If you
use more
than
one cooking
zone
at high
power
on the same
generator,
the
generator
will
need
to share
its power
to both
cooking
zones,
thus lowering
the power
level
of one of the cooking
zones.
When
you
are sharing
power
(cooking
in both
zones),
the
last zone
set will
cook
at the power
setting
you selected.
The
other
zone
will
experience
a slight
decrease
from
its power
setting
if both
zones
are set high
enough.
Depending
on the size of your
cooktop,
2 or 3 sections
are
available:
• The 30"
cooktop
is equipped
with
4 cooking
zones
within
2 sections.
• The 36"
cooktop
is equipped
with
five
cooking
zones
within
3 sections.
Note
that
on the 36"
cooktop
the right
cooking
zone
has its own section
and
will
not share
its power.
