Power Sharing

In order to give you more flexibility, your induction cooktop

is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of

induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned to power a specific cooking zone (Fig. 23). One or two cooking

zones are assigned to each generator. To be able to give you

access to the highest power ratings, the generator will focus

its power onto only one cooking zone. If you use more than

one cooking zone at high power on the same generator, the

generator will need to share its power to both cooking zones, thus lowering the power level of one of the cooking zones.

When you are sharing power (cooking in both zones), the last zone set will cook at the power setting you selected. The

other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power setting if both zones are set high enough.

Depending on the size of your cooktop, 2 or 3 sections are available:

•The 30" cooktop is equipped with 4 cooking zones within 2 sections.

•The 36" cooktop is equipped with five cooking zones within

3 sections. Note that on the 36" cooktop the right cooking zone has its own section and will not share its power.
