32Operating the appliance
Switching the power function on and off
The power function 
makes more power available to the induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large quantity of water to the boil quickly.
The power function is activated for 10 minutes at most. After that the induction cooking zone automatically switches back to heat setting 14.

Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power.
The maximum power is reached when the heat setting 14 has been set for all cooking zones. Two cooking zones generate a pair (see figure)
and therefore, the power management shares the maximum available power between these cooking zones.
When the power function is selected for one cooking zone, the power management makes the additional power for this cooking zone available by reducing the power of the corre- sponding other cooking zone.
Example: the heat setting 14 is selected on one
cooking zone. The power function is switched on for the corresponding cooking zone. The power function is carried out but the heat set- ting 14 of one of the cooking zones and the power function for the other cooking zone of
the pair exceed the maximum power for both
at the same time. For this purpose, the power management reduces the power of the cooking zone that switched on first from 14 to example 5 and the display of this cooking zone changes between 14 and 5 and then stays at the current possible maximum 5. (If the display changes between 14 and 5 or 14 and 3 or another value depends on the type of appliance and the size of the cooking zone.).
