Operation
Booster function
The cooking zones are equipped with a Single (I) or Twin Boosters (I/II) (see Guide to the Appliance).
The booster function boosts power so that large quantities can be quickly heated, such as water for cooking pasta. When Booster I is switched on, the cooking zones operate for
10 minutes with extra power, and when Booster II is used, for 15 minutes with extra high power.
The booster function can only be used on two cooking zones at a time, one of the left and one on the right.
If the booster function is switched on when
–no power setting has been selected, the cooking zone will automatically revert to setting 12 at the end of the booster time or if it is switched off before this.
–a power setting has been selected, the cooking zone will automatically revert to the setting selected.
If the cookware is removed from the heat during the Booster time, the Booster Function is interrupted. If the cookware is returned to the cooking zone within 3 minutes, the Booster time will resume.
In order to supply the Booster power needed, another cooking zone will operate at reduced power while the Booster Function is on. This means that the cooking zones are connected (networked) in pairs, as shown in the following example:
When the Booster is turned on, the following takes place:
–if Auto heat is activated on either zone in the same network, this will be switched off.
–the power level of the linked cooking zone will be reduced under certain conditions.
–When Booster II is switched on, the linked cooking zone is switched off.
