several small portions.

6.5 Liberty® cooking zone

You can use the flexible cooking zone as one large cook-

ing zone, or as two separate cooking zones.

The flexible cooking zone has 4 induction elements, which

are controlled independently from each other. When you

use the Liberty® function, only the area that is covered by

cookware is activated.

Cookware recommendations for the flexible

cooking zone

Place the cookware in the middle of the cooking zone.

This assures optimal pot detection and heat distribution.
