TEMPERATURE DETECTION
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the safety levels, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power level.
When you have finished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run until the cooktop’s electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the termperature of the electronics.
Power Management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired cooking |
|
|
|
| |
elements, are restricted to drawing a certain maximum |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| 1 | |
amount of power. |
|
|
| ||
If you cause a cooking zone to exceed its maximum |
|
|
|
| |
allowed power by switching on the Power Boost function, |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| ||
the Power Management function automatically reduces |
|
|
| 2 | |
the power setting of the two elements in the cooking zone |
|
|
| ||
and reduces the power draw. |
|
|
|
| |
For example, the right side elements No.1 and No.2 are a cooking zone. If you have one element set at Hi, and turn
on the Power Boost function for the other element, the Power Management function reduces the power settings of one of the elements as described in the tables below.
• Example
Power setting of Cooking Zone | No. 2 setting | No. 1 power setting is | |
no.1 | automatically reduced to: | ||
| |||
|
|
| |

|
| ||
Hi is selected | Hi | ||
| |||
|
|
|
