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 cookingzones 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 of the reduced zones changes between two levels.
• For the flexible zone you can use up
to three pots. If the maximum loading
for the phase is exceeded the
function activates. The activation of
the function depends on the
cookware size and number. The
function decreases the heat setting
for the pots to the highest possible on the phase. The cooking zone symbol
turns gray and the heat setting
changes between two levels. The arrow pointing down comes on in the
cooking zone symbol. If you do not change the pots number on the
flexible zone after one minute the
lower heat setting will be set for this
cooking session.5.  HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  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.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.www.aeg.com14        
						

							5.2 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.
• clicking on flexible zone: the pot is
not detected and the cooking zone is
not set.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.5.3  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.5.4  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.
