Booster function
Each cooking zone has a Booster function.
When activated, the zones will operate on power setting 9 with an extra boost of power for a period of 10 minutes.
This boost is intended for quickly bringing large quantities of water to the boil, e.g. when cooking pasta.
The Booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
If the Booster function is switched on when
–no setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert automatically to power setting 9 at the end of the Booster time or if the Booster function is switched off before this.
–a setting has been selected, the cooking zone will revert automatically to the setting selected at the end of the Booster time or if the Booster function is switched off before this.
Taking a pan off the zone whilst the Booster is in operation interrupts the Booster function. It will resume if a pan is placed back on the zone within 3 minutes.
The extra boost of energy is only available by taking a proportion of energy away from another cooking zone. For this reason, the cooking zones are networked in pairs as shown.
When the booster is switched on, the following happens:
–if Auto
–the power level on the other linked cooking zone will sometimes decrease.
