Power management function
This product has an electronically controlled power management function. The Power management function detects when the maximum power level of 3.7 kW/16 A is being delivered for the combined cooking elements (right and left hand side phases), optimising power distribution and avoiding any overloading of the induction system.
To do this, the total power is monitored continuously, and reduced when necessary. If it is not possible to supply the total power required, a control element reduces by a predefined amount the power in another cooking element so that it is at a level immediately below its respective power curve. This ensures that the current absorption of 16 A is not exceeded.
In this case the generator detects the last command with the highest priority sent by the user interface and, if necessary, reduces the previous settings activated for another cooking element.
The Power management function is first activated when the presence of a pan is detected on the cooking element.
Example:
If the power boost level (boost) (P) is selected in the same phase (right and left hand phase) in a cooking area, the other cooking area is automatically prevented from simultaneously exceeding power level 5.
This aspect is variable according to the limits set for the product (See paragraph 7.6).
How induction hobs work
Induction hobs work very differently from traditional hobs or metal plate cookers. The induction coil located under the vitreous ceramic surface quickly creates a highly variable magnetic field, which heats the magnetisable bottom of the pan directly. The vitreous ceramic surface is only heated by the hot pan. When the pan is removed from the cooking area, the current supplied is cut off immediately.
Pan presence detection
Each of the cooking areas is equipped with a system to detect the presence of a pan. The pan presence detection system recognises pans with a magnetisable base suitable for use with induction hobs.
If the pan is removed during operation, or if an unsuitable pan is used, the display alongside the bar graph flashes with the symbol .
If there are no pans positioned on the cooking area during the 20 second pan presence detection period:
– The cooking area switches off automatically after 20 seconds.
– The display for each cooking area will indicate
Pans
Suitable pans
Only pans with a fully magnetisable base are suitable to cook on induction hobs.
A magnet is able to stick to every point on the whole bottom of the pan.
Pans suitable for use with induction hobs
The pans to be used on induction cooking surfaces must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and with a sufficiently wide base.
Suitable pans:
– Enamelled steel pans with a thick bottom.
– Cast iron pans with an enamelled bottom.
­ Multi­layer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium pans with a special bottom.
Unsuitable pans:
­ Brass, stainless steel, aluminium, refractory glass, wooden, ceramic and terracotta pots and pans.
– To see whether or not a pan is suitable, bring a magnet up to its bottom: if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water into the pan, place it on a cooking area and turn the hob on. If the  display shows the symbol , the pan is not suitable. Caution: only use pans with a perfectly flat bottom that are suitable for induction cooking. Using pans with an uneven bottom may detract from the efficiency of the heat radiation system, and may prevent detection of the pan on the cooking area.
Noises during cooking
Pans may produce noises during cooking. This does not indicate a malfunction, nor does it have any influence on how the device works.
The noise depends on the type of pan being used. If the noise is particularly annoying, it might help to change the pan.
Energy saving information
­ The diameter of the pan bottom must correspond with the diameter of the cooking area.– When purchasing a pan, check whether the diameter indicated corresponds to the bottom or the top of the pan, as the latter is usually wider than the bottom.
­ When preparing dishes that require long cooking times, both time and energy can be saved by using a pressure cooker. Cooking in this way also allows more vitamins to be preserved in the food.
­ Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid; if there is not enough liquid and it overheats, this may cause damage both to the pressure cooker and to the cooking area.
– If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid.
­ Select a pan that is suitable for the amount of food to be cooked. Cooking with wide pans that are only partially used is a waste of energy.

Normal working noises in the hob
Induction technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields generate heat directly on the bottom of the pan. Pots and pans may produce a variety of noises or vibrations, according to their construction.
These types of noise can be described as follows:
Light buzz (like the noise made by a transformer)
This noise is produced when cooking with a high level of heat, and it is determined by the amount of energy transferred by the hob to the pans. The noise will stop or decrease when the heat level is reduced.
Light whistle
This noise is produced when the pot or pan is empty, and stops as soon as it is filled with water or food.
Crackle
This noise occurs with pans made from layers of numerous different materials, and is caused by vibration of the surfaces where the different materials meet. The noise comes from the pans, and may vary according to the quantity of food and preparation method being used.
Loud whistle
This noise occurs with pans made up of layers of different materials, and also when these are used at maximum level and on two cooking areas. The noise will stop or decrease when the heat level is reduced.
Fan noises
For the electronic system to operate correctly, the temperature of the cooker hob must be regulated.
To do this, the hob is equipped with a cooling fan that is activated to reduce and regulate the temperature in the electronic system. The fan may continue to operate after the appliance has been turned off, if the temperature of the cooker hob is still detected to be too high.
Rhythmic sounds like a clock ticking
This noise only occurs when at least three cooking areas are operating, and it disappears or decreases when some of them are turned off.
The noises described are a normal feature of induction technology and are not to be considered as defects.
