Control panel and heat setting
• Appliances 1 and 2 (Electrolux and Gaggenau, respectively) The control panel
allows heat setting selection varying from 0 to 9 (minimum to maximum power). The
booster function (heat setting P ) is available for all 4 hobs, but not simultaneously. For
appliance 1, the heat setting P is available simultaneously with hobs 1 and 2, or with hobs
3 and 4. For appliance 2, the heat setting P is available for hob 1 if hob 3 is switched off
and reciprocally (same for hobs 2 and 4).
• Appliance 3 (Inducs) The heat setting varies from 0 to 12 (minimum to maximum
power). There is no booster function with appliance 3.
Mounting All three appliances are mounted on 20 mm thick plywood supports allowing close
proximity measurements (1 cm on each side). The mounting has been performed according
to the manufacturer’s specifications. The entire support system base is wooden without any
metallic parts in the vicinity of the appliances, thus eliminating the possibility of field distortions.
