26Using your cooktop’s special features
Using Bridging Zones (CI302DTB & CI604DTB SmartZone models only)
The bridging zone function allows you to use two SmartZones together giving you a larger cooking area. Your pan(s) will need to cover both cooking zones.
There may be a cooler area in the centre of the cooktop between the cooking zones. You may need to move food around the pan to ensure even cooking.
When using bridging zones it is not possible to use the PowerBoost function.
Important!
You can only bridge a cooking zone with the one directly behind it. It is not possible to bridge cooking zones that are side by side.
