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.
