Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the food,
but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and oil
will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare meals,
that need longer to cook.
Preferably use the high output burners for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and searing of large quantities.

each burner.
Do not use small pots or
pans on large burners.
The flame should not
touch the sides of the
pot.
Do not use damaged
pots or pans, which do
not sit evenly on the
cooktoop, they may tip
over.
Only use pots or pans
with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without
using a lid and make
sure the lid is properly
fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pot or
pan over the burner,
otherwise it could tip
over.
Do not place large pots
on the burners near the
control knobs. These
may get damaged by the
high temperatures.
