4.13 Power management

function

• Cooking zones are grouped according

to the location and number of the

phases in the hob. See the illustration.

• Each phase has a maximum electricity

loading of 3700 W.

• The function divides the power

between cooking zones connected to

the same phase.

• The function activates when the total

electricity loading of the cooking zones

connected to a single phase exceeds

3700 W.

• The function decreases the power to

the other cooking zones connected to

the same phase.

• The heat setting display of the reduced

zones changes between two levels.

5. 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 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

zone deactivates before the count down
