Abstract: A power management system in electrical cooking appliances having at least two electrical heating elements wherein the power level of the elements can be set by a user but not exceed a predetermined power level. The power management system being able to compare the total level set by the user with the predetermined power level. The power management system also being able to downgrade the total level set by the user to a lower level which does not to exceed the predetermined level, independently of the set levels. The power management system being further able to selectively downgrade the heating element operating at the higher power level by a predefined step until the total power does not exceed the predetermined power level.

Abstract: A power management system in electrical cooking appliances comprising at least one electrical heating element the power level of which can be set by the user but must never exceed a predetermined power level, the system comprising means for comparing said set power level with the predetermined power level and for downgrading said level to a lower level such as not to exceed the predetermined level, independently of the set level.
