Power Boost Setting, P
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost
available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise
until [P ] is shown on the hob control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for
each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan
of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10
minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically
reduced to setting 9.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control
knob to a lower setting.
Power Sharing Zones (Fig. 2.8)
Power sharing is taking the power from the adjacent zone.
For example, if zones C, D and E (Fig. 2.8) are set to power
level 9, or set to Power Boost (P) the power level in D or E will
adjust in the order it was switched on.
n
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
both the hob and pan.
Example 1: Set zone C to power level 9, switch on zone D
to power level 9 and then zone E to power level 9. After a
few seconds zone D power level will reduce to 7. Zone C will
remain at P or 9
Example 2: Set zone C to power level 9, switch on zone E
to power level 9 and then zone D to power level 9. After a
few seconds zone E power level will reduce to 6. Zone C will
remain at P or 9
Example 3: Set zone D and E to power level 9 and then zone
C to power level 9. After a few seconds zone E power level will
reduce to 6.
The same principle applies when using zone A and B. When
using zone A on Power Boost (P) and then switching zone B
to Power Boost (P), the power to zone A will reduce slightly.

This is a built-in safety device.
