If recently installed please check installation guidelines have been followed for ventilation & the hob frontal vents are not blocked.
Please check there is no wooden batten or rail blocking the front vent stopping air flow.
For a typical 4 zone induction hob of say 7kw you cannot have all 4 zones on full power at the same time due to load rating.
The power management within the electronics will spilt the power load depending on the number of zones being used.
So if to the power of 12 you could get a spilt of:
1 zone 12
2 zones 6 + 6
3 zones 4 + 4 + 4
4 zones 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
Or a combination say 2 zones – one at 9 & one at 3 however this power sharing varies between brands, models, designs, number of zones etc….
Please note that power sharing is generic across ALL Brands that manufacture induction hobs.
Some Brands, models have split side zones (LH/RH) which allows one zone on the LH & one zone on the RH to be set on high or boost for a few minutes
But once another zone is added into the equation then the power will be shared between the 3 zones.

One of the live wires may not have been connected properly. Ensure both lives L1 & L2 are connected for the hob to work correctly.
If the zones light up on the display & look like they are going to operate but the inductors aren’t heating up it is likely to be an installation error.
You may also get error codes: U or E5/E6.
Check the hob has been wired correctly during installation,
Both lives L1 & L2 to the live for the hob to work correctly.
