For simultaneous use, favor the use of cooking zones located on opposite sides of the hob.
On the same side, the use of a cooking zone at ma ximum power results in an automatic
limitation of the other cooking zone on that side, which is indicated in the power level display.
T i p
To check the suitability of your cookware:
Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4.
If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible.
If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction co oki ng.
You can also use a magnet to te st the c ookware.
If a magnet "s ticks " to the bot tom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction.
9. POWER SHARING
Under the presence that only one zone is used with an adequate cooking
vessel covering the whole surface of the coil, and that power on t he zone is
adjusted to the maximum.
If only one coil is employed, it can be utilized at its maximum power, but as
soon as the other coil is turned on, the controls adjust the power on both
coils aut omatically for
"
power-shar ing
"
. This power-sharing is administered
by the unit‘s microprocessors, which will alternate power between the two
elements. There are two factors affecting improved powe
r-sharing on your
cooktops.
The first is the application of improved technology for power sharing-not
using common relays, but rather semiconductors which makes power-
sharing quicker, thus more efficient. The second factor is that when in a
power-sharing mode, two zones can share the full power output of the
inverter.
Note that the controls will not allow both zones to operate at full power, and
the power will be adjusted automatically - e.g. the power on one zone is
adjusted toamaximum, and the other zone is turned on and power level
also adj
usted to its maximum, the power level on the first zone will
automatically become lower. This change will be visible on digital displays.
The controls are set in such a manner
that the last instruction ( command) given to an element is always a priority.
10. COOKWARE FOR YOUR INDUCTION
Inducted current can be creat ed only with materials that have m agnetic
properties. Thus cookware for use with an induction unit must be made from
a ferromagnetic material or have inserts with magnetic properties.
