• 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 cooking zones 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 display of the reduced zones alternates between the chosen heat setting and the reduced heat setting. After some time the heat setting display of the reduced zones stays on the reduced heat setting.
