Power Management
The appliance has a maximum power output. If this maximum power is exceeded, the Power Management automatically reduces the power of the last cooking zone to be switched on. This can happen by:
•switching on another cooking zone
•switching on an outer ring, when other cook- ing zones are already switched on at high settings
•increasing the heat setting on a cooking zone, when other cooking zones are already switched on at high settings
The display for the last cooking zone to be switched on alternates for 1 minute between the heat setting set and the maximum possible heat setting. During this period it is not possible to increase the heat setting. Thereafter the ac- tual heat setting is displayed.
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a cook- ing zone. Heat setting 9 is also set for another cooking zone. If this exceeds the maximum out- put, the Power Management reduces the power of the last cooking zone to be switched from 9 to 7, for example, and the display for this cook- ing zone alternates between 9 and 7 and then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Wheth- er the display alternates between 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appli- ance type and the size of the cooking zone.)
