Automatic Power Adjustment:

When operating both burners simultaneously, the maximum combined power is 2000W. Increasing the power level of one burner will cause the other burner's power to self-adjust and decrease if needed, to protect the safety of the power wire and prevent exceeding 2000W.

• When operating only one burner, the maximum power is 1600W.
• When operating both burners, the power distribution will adjust automatically. For example, if the left burner is set to P9, the right burner will be limited to P1.
