Making settings on the hob
Your hob is equipped with four gas burners. The following

ignition position 8 . Ignition begins.

Press and hold the burner knob for 1-3 seconds. The gas
burner ignites.

Table - Cooking
Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of
the pot or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.
Cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the
food. Deviations are therefore possible. You yourself can best
judge the optimal cooking time.
Minerals and vitamins are very quickly destroyed during
cooking. Therefore, only use a little water. This will help you
retain vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so that
the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
