Tips for cooking with the cooking functions
Heating/keep-warm function: Frozen products in
■
portions, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in
the cookware. Pour in the volume of water specified
by the manufacturer. Cover the cookware and select
the setting 1/70 °C. Stir occasionally.
Poaching function: This function is suitable for
■
cooking food at low temperatures and for thickening
sauces and stews. Select setting 2/90 °C.
Boiling function: This function allows you to boil
■
water with a lid without it boiling over. You can boil
efficiently thanks to the temperature control. Select
setting 3/100 °C.
Cooking in a pressure cooker function: Follow the
■
manufacturer's recommendations. Continue cooking
for the recommended time once the signal has
sounded. Select setting 4/120 °C.
Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan
■
function: To heat the oil with the lid on. Remove the
lid after the signal tone and add the food (insofar as
there are no other instructions in the "Recommended
dishes" table). Select setting 5/170 °C.
Notes
Always cook with the lid on. Exception: "Frying with a
■
large amount of oil in the saucepan", temperature
setting 5/170 °C.
If an audible signal does not sound, make sure that
■
the lid is on the pan.
Never leave oil unattended during heating. Use oil or
■
fat that is suitable for frying. Do not mix different
cooking fats together, e.g. oil and lard. Mixtures of
different fats may froth up when hot.
If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
■
when cooking potatoes, next time use less water but
keep the recommended temperature setting.
Setting the boiling point
The point at which water starts to boil depends on the
height of your home above sea level. You can change
the boiling point if water is boiling too strongly or not
strongly enough. To do this, proceed as follows:
Select the Set the boiling point basic setting; see
■
section ~ "Basic settings"
The basic setting is set to 200-400 m by default. If
■
your home is between 200 and 400 metres above
sea level, you do not need to set the boiling point.
Otherwise, select the setting that matches your
home's height above sea level.
Note:
Temperature setting 3/100 ºC is sufficient for
efficient boiling, even if the water does not boil very
strongly. However, the boiling point can be changed.
For example, you can set a lower altitude if you want the
water to boil more strongly.
