6. FLEXIBLE INDUCTION COOKING AREAWARNING!Refer to Safety chapters.
www.electrolux.com12
6.1 FlexiBridge functionThe flexible induction cooking areaconsists of four sections. The sectionscan be combined into two cooking zoneswith different size, or into one largecooking area. You choose thecombination of the sections by choosingthe mode applicable to the size of thecookware you want to use. There arethree modes: Standard (activatedautomatically when you activate thehob), Big Bridge and Max Bridge.
To set the heat setting usetwo left side control bars.
Switching between the modesTo switch between the modes usesensor field: .
When you switch betweenthe modes the heat setting isset back to 0.
Diameter and position of thecookwareChoose the mode applicable to the sizeand the shape of the cookware. Thecookware should cover the selected areaas much as possible. Place thecookware centrally on the selected area!Place the cookware with the bottomdiameter smaller than 160 mm centrallyon a single section.
100-160mm
Place the cookware with the bottomdiameter larger then 160 mm centrallybetween two sections.
> 160 mm
6.2 FlexiBridge Standard modeThis mode is active when you activatethe hob. It connects the sections into twoseparate cooking zones. You can set theheat setting for each zone separately.Use two left side control bars.

The one front sectionis not connected and operates as aseparate cooking zone. You can set theheat setting for each zone separately.Use two left side control bars.
Correct cookware position:To use this mode you have to place thecookware on the three connectedsections. If you use cookware smallerthan two sections the display shows and after 2 minutes the zone switchesoff.
Incorrect cookware position:
6.4 FlexiBridge Max BridgemodeTo activate the mode press until yousee the correct mode indicator. Thismode connects all sections into onecooking zone. To set the heat setting useone of the left side control bars.
Correct cookware position:To use this mode you have to place thecookware on the four connectedsections. If you use cookware smallerthan three sections the display shows and after 2 minutes the zone switchesoff.

Incorrect cookware position:
6.5 PowerSlide functionThis function allows you to adjust thetemperature by moving the cookware toa different position on the inductioncooking area.The function divides the inductioncooking area into three areas withdifferent heat settings. The hob sensesthe position of the cookware and sets theheat setting corresponding with theposition. You can place the cookware inthe front, middle or rear position. If youplace the cookware in the front you getthe highest heat setting. You candecrease the heat setting by moving thecookware in the middle or to the rearposition.
Use only one pot when youoperate the function.
General information:• 160 mm is the minimum bottom
diameter of the cookware for thisfunction.
• Heat setting display for the left rearcontrol bar shows the position of thecookware on the induction cookingarea. Front , middle , rear
.
• Heat setting display for the left frontcontrol bar shows the heat setting. Tochange the heat setting use leftfront control bar.
• When you activate the function for thefirst time you will get heat setting for the front position, for the middleposition and for the rear position.
You can change the heat settings foreach position separately. The hob willremember your heat settings nexttime you activate the function.
ENGLISH 15
Activating the functionTo activate the function place thecookware in the correct position on thecooking area. Touch . The indicatorabove the symbol comes on. If you donot place the cookware on the cookingarea comes on and after 2 minutesthe flexible induction cooking area is setto .
Deactivating the function
To deactivate the function touch or setthe heat setting to . The indicatorabove the symbol goes off.
7. HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 CookwareFor induction cooking zonesa strong electro-magneticfield creates the heat in thecookware very quickly.
Use the induction cookingzones with correctcookware.
Cookware material• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottommade of multi-layer (with correct markfrom a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper,brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an inductionhob 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 printing on the flexibleinduction cooking area maybecome dirty or changecolour from sliding thecookware. You can clean thearea in a standard way.
The bottom of the cookwaremust be as thick and flat aspossible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to thedimension of the bottom of the cookwareautomatically to some limit.The cooking zone efficiency is related tothe diameter of the cookware. Thecookware with a smaller diameter thanthe minimum receives only a part of thepower generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to “Technicalinformation” chapter.
7.2 The noises during operationIf you can hear:• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwichconstruction).
• whistle sound: you use the cookingzone with high power level and thecookware is made of differentmaterials (sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power level.• clicking: electric switching occurs.• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.The noises are normal and do notrefer to hob malfunction.
7.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)To save energy, the heater of thecooking zone deactivates before thecount down timer sounds. The differencein the operation time depends on theheat setting level and the length of thecooking operation.
www.electrolux.com16
7.4 Examples of cookingapplicationsThe relation between the heat settingand the cooking zone consumption ofpower is not linear. When you increasethe heat setting, it is not proportional tothe increase of the cooking zone
consumption of power. It means that thecooking zone with the medium heatsetting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is forguidance only.
