Cooking zone power can be adjusted by pressing the (H) or (I) keys for the respective cooking zone;
then continue with the next cooking zone.
During the first 10 seconds, automatic pan recognition can also be deactivated in user settings using
the "Au" parameter. See chapter User Settings.
The function can be used if the pan is already on the cooking hob or if the cooking hob is empty.
Power Boost
(depending on the model)
For rapid cooking, power boost can be activated on the cooking zones. This will allow you to rapidly
heat large amounts of food using extra power. The power boost is active for no more than 10 minutes;
then, the power level is automatically decreased to 9. If the cooking hob is not too hot, the power
boost can be reactivated for 10 minutes after it is switched off. To avoid overheating, the electronic
control function may automatically switch off the Power Boost earlier and decrease the power level
to 9.
Activating the Power Boost
The hob is switched on and a suitable pan is placed on one of the cooking
zones.
• Select the cooking zone.
• Set the power level to 9, then press the (I) key.
• Symbol "P" will appear on the display. The function is activated.
Deactivating the Power Boost
• Press the (H) key. Power boost will be deactivated and operating power will return to level 9.
• Power can be decreased to desired level by pressing the (H) key.
Overheat protection
• The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking. The
fan may operate for a while even after the end of the cooking process.
• Induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates at several levels. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, or the safety mechanisms switches off the cooking
zone completely. In such case, the display unit will read “”F2””. When the cooking hob is cooled
down, its total power will be available again.
