TROUBLESHOOTING
TECHNICAL DATA
It is recommended to select power setting level 2 to achieve maximum energy
efficiency.
The energy consumption of a domestic electric hob (EC electric hob) is
measured in Wh per kg of water heated in a normalized measurement (Wh/kg)
considering all cookware pieces under standardized test conditions and rounded
to the first decimal place. Standard EN 60350-2:2013 was used as reference for
the measurement and calculation.
