You can set the hob to activate the light
automatically whenever you activate the hob.
To do so set the automatic mode to H1 – H6.
The light on the hood deactivates 2
minutes after deactivating the hob.
6.15 Power management function
• Cooking zones are grouped according to
the location and number of phases in the
hob. See the illustration.
• Each phase has a maximum electricity
load.
• The function divides the power between
cooking zones connected to the same
phase.
7. HOB - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
Cookware material
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
48
ENGLISH
• The function activates when the total
electricity load of the cooking zones
connected to a single phase is exceeded.
• The function reduces the power of the
other cooking zones connected to the
same phase.
• The heat setting display of the reduced
zones changes between two levels.
• 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.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with
a diameter smaller than the minimum
receives only a part of the power generated
by the cooking zone.
