PAUSE MODE When at least one cooking zone is in operation, the cooking may be paused temporarily (fig. 2.10).
MAXIMUM USABLE POWER FOR THE COOKING ZONES The left and right cooking zones are controlled by two separate power boards. Where a power board manages two zones (front/rear LH zones; front/rear RH zones in model with four zones) the maximum total power per each power board is 3700 W. Should the cooking zones of one power board require more than 3700 W, the last selected power level has priority and the power of the other cooking zone is automatically reduced to the remaining power available.
