The corresponding residual heat indicator (26)
lights up as soon as a cooking zone reach-
es approx. 50 °C. After the cooking zone is
switched off, the indicator continues to be lit
for as long as the cooking zone is hot. It warns
you of any possible burning and lets you know
that you can still use residual heat to cook.

– For smaller quantities 1 level lower, for larg-
er quantities 1 level higher.
– To sear and parboil food, always select the
highest setting.
– Once the pot boils and steam forms or the
steak is brown on both sides, switch to a
lower level; for larger pots and pans use the
setting “2”, otherwise setting “1” is sufficient.
– Roasts weighing more than 1 kilogram are
best cooked in the oven.
– Use the right dishes and a little water/oil to
cook; this helps to preserve the vitamins.
– Use the residual heat of the cooking zones.
The heat is sufficient for 5 to 10 minutes, for
example, for soaking rice.
– When cooking, always leave the lid on the
saucepan wherever possible. Liquids can
be brought to the boil more quickly with the
lid on than without.
