							4.12 Power management
function
• Cooking zones are grouped according to the location and number
of the phases in the hob. See the illustration.
• Each phase has a maximum electricity loading of 3700 W.
• The function divides the power between cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• The function activates when the total electricity loading of the cooking
zones connected to a single phase exceeds 3700 W.
• The function decreases the power to the other cooking zones connected to
the same phase.• The heat setting display of the
reduced zones changes between twolevels.5.  FLEXIBLE INDUCTION COOKING AREAWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  FlexiBridge function
The flexible induction cooking area
consists of four sections. The sections
can be combined into two cooking zones
with different size, or into one large
cooking area. The sides of the zones
which operate together light up, and
they are linked with shorter illuminated lines. You choose the combination of thesections by choosing the mode
applicable to the size of the cookware
you want to use. There are three modes:
Standard (activated automatically when
you activate the hob), Big Bridge and
Max Bridge.
To set the heat setting use
two left side control bars.
Switching between the modes
To switch between the modes use sensor
field:

When you switch between
the modes the heat setting
is set back to  0.
Diameter and position of the
cookware
Choose the mode applicable to the size
and the shape of the cookware. The

as much as possible. Place the cookware
centrally on the selected area!
Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter smaller than 160 mm centrally
on a single section.

							Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter larger then 160 mm centrally
between two sections.
5.2  FlexiBridge Standard
mode
This mode is active when you activate
the hob. It connects the sections into two
separate cooking zones. The sides of the zones which operate together in this
mode light up, and they are linked with

6.  HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.6.1  CookwareFor induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.Cookware material
• correct:  cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark
from a manufacturer).
• not correct:  aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.ENGLISH15                   
						

							The printing on the flexible
induction cooking area may
become dirty or change
colour from sliding the
cookware. You can clean the
area in a standard way.The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically to some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a smaller diameter than
the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to “Technical
information” chapter.6.2  The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking
zone with high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level. • clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.6.3  Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on theheat setting level and the length of thecooking operation.
6.4  Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to
the increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power. It means that the cooking zone with the medium heat
setting uses less than a half of its power.
