Switching the power boost function on and off
The power boost 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 boost function is activated for 8 minutes for the front left cooking zone,
for 2 minutes for the rear left cooking zone and for 5 minutes for the right cooking zones. After these times, the induction cooking zones automatically switch back to heat setting 9.

If the power boost function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to the heat setting set previously.
Power management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface have a maximum power available to them. Two cooking zones make up a pair
(see figure). So that the power boost function can always be carried out, power management may reduce the power of the other cooking zone in the pair.
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a cooking zone. The power boost function is switched on for the cooking zone paired up with it. The power boost function is performed, but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and power boost function on the other cooking zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore power management reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates between 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the size of the cooking zone.)
