You can use each flex zone as a single hotplate or as 

two independent hotplates, as required.

each other. If using the flexible cooking zone, only the 
area that is covered by cookware is activated.

Note: 

Only use cookware with a suitable diameter. The 

base of the cookware should not protrude over the 
marked cooking zones.

Advice on using cookware
