Settings table
Each cooking zone has 9 settings and intermediate
settings. To quickly reach the required temperature, use
the quick boil timer or use heat setting 9. You must then
always switch back to the required heat setting.
The settings areas are the same for all cooking zones.
The values in the settings table must only be used as a
guideline because more or less heat is required
depending on the type and state of the food as well as
the size of the pan and how full it is.
