Maximum usable power for the cooking zones
Controlled by
1st power board
The right and left cooking zones are controlled by two separate power boards and the maximum total power per each power board is 3700 W.
Should the cooking zones of one power board require more than 3700 W, the last selected power level has priority and the power of the other cooking zone is automatically reduced to the remaining power available.
If this occurs, the cooking zone will display a flashing figure for about 3 seconds before automatically displaying the new power level.
Controlled by
2nd power board
This means for example that:
When setting PowerBoost for the second zone, the setting for the other zone could be reduced to the remaining power available.
When setting PowerBoost for a zone and then another setting on the second zone, if the total power exceed 3700 W the PowerBoost feature is automatically turned off and the power reduced to the maximum power available.
Thermal protection
The induction cooktop is fitted with safety devices to protect the electronic system and to protect each cooking zone from overheating.
In case of overheating, one of the following automatic functions could be started by the electronic system:
PowerBoost feature automatically turned off and power reduced; one or more cooking zone switched off;
cooling fan motor of the induction unit switched on.
