• Each phase has a maximum electricityload.• The function divides the powerbetween cooking zones connected tothe same phase.• The function activates when the totalelectricity loading of the cookingzones connected to a single phase isexceeded.• The function decreases the power tothe other cooking zones connected tothe same phase.• The heat setting display of thereduced zones changes between twolevels.6. HOB - HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!Refer to Safety chapters.6.1 CookwareFor induction cooking zonesa strong electro-magneticfield creates the heat in thecookware very quickly.Use the induction cookingzones with correct cookware.Cookware material• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelledsteel, stainless steel, the bottommade of multi-layer (with correct markfrom a manufacturer).• not correct: aluminium, copper,brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.Cookware is correct for an inductionhob if:• some water boils very quickly on azone set to the highest heat setting.• a magnet pulls on to the bottom ofthe cookware.The bottom of the cookwaremust be as thick and flat aspossible.Cookware dimensionsInduction cooking zones adapt to thedimension of the bottom of thecookware automatically to some limit.The cooking zone efficiency is related tothe diameter of the cookware. Thecookware with a smaller diameter thanthe minimum receives only a part of thepower generated by the cooking zone.6.2 Minimum cookwarediameterCooking zone Cookware diam-eter (mm)Left rear 125 - 140Right rear 145 - 180Right front 145 - 180Left front 180 - 2106.3 The noises duringoperationIf you can hear:• crack noise: cookware is made ofdifferent materials (sandwichconstruction).• whistle sound: you use the cookingzone with high power level and thecookware is made of differentmaterials (sandwich construction).• humming: you use high power level.• clicking: electric switching occurs.• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.The noises are normal and do not referto hob malfunction.ENGLISH 13
