Power management

function

• All cooking zones are connected to

one phase. See the illustration.

• The function activates when the total

electricity loading of the cooking

zones exceeds maximum electricity

loading of the phase.

• The function divides the power

between cooking zones.

• The function decreases the power to

the other cooking zones.

• The heat setting display of the

reduced zones changes between two

levels.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 

Cookware

For induction cooking zones

a strong electro-magnetic

field creates the heat in the

cookware very quickly.

Use the induction cooking

zones with correct cookware.

Cookware material

•

correct:

 cast iron, steel, enamelled

steel, stainless steel, the bottom

made of multi-layer (with correct mark

from a manufacturer).

•

not correct:

 aluminium, copper,

brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction

hob if:

• some water boils very quickly on a

zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of

the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware

must be as thick and flat as

possible.

Cookware dimensions

Induction cooking zones adapt to the

dimension of the bottom of the

cookware automatically to some limit.

The cooking zone efficiency is related to

the diameter of the cookware. The

cookware with a smaller diameter than

the minimum receives only a part of the

power generated by the cooking zone.

Refer to “Technical

information” chapter.

5.2 

The noises during

operation

If you can hear:

• crack noise: cookware is made of

different materials (sandwich

construction).

• whistle sound: you the cooking zone

with high power level and the

cookware is made of different

materials (sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power level.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not refer

to hob malfunction.

5.3 

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
