Notes
If there is no cookware on the induction cooking zone,
▯
the heat setting display blinks. After a while, the
cooking zone will switch itself off.
If cookware has been placed on the cooking zone
▯
before you turn on the cooktop, it will be detected
within 20 seconds after you have touched the main
switch and the cooking zone will be selected
automatically. Once detected, set the power level
within the next 20 seconds, otherwise the cooking
zone will turn off.
Even if there are several pots and pans on the cooktop
when it is switched on, only one piece of cookware is
detected.

Recommendations
When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
▯
sauces, stir occasionally.
Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
▯
When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
▯
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and
the cookware.
After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you
▯
serve the food.
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
▯
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients
▯
will be lost. The kitchen timer can be used to set the
optimum cooking time.
For healthier cooking results, oil or grease should not
▯
be heated until it smokes.
To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
▯
Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food
▯
is cooking. We recommend that you use pot holders.
You can find recommendations for energy-efficient

CAUTION

During cooking, stews or liquid meals such as
soups, sauces or drinks can heat up too quickly
unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason
we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually
heating the food at a suitable power level.
