Table of cooking times
The table below lists the optimal heat settings and
cooking times for various types of food. The information
given applies when cooking four portions.
The cooking times and heat settings may vary
depending on the type of food, its weight and quality, on
the type of gas used, and on the material from which
the cookware is made. To prepare this dish, stainless
steel cookware was mainly used.
Always use cookware that is the right size and place it in
the centre of the burner. You can find information about
the diameter of the cookware under
Information on the table
Each type of food can be prepared in one or two steps.
Each step contains information about the following:
Cooking methods featured in the table
Note:
The symbols do not appear on the appliance.
They are used here to represent the various cooking
methods.
Information on how to cook food on the different
burners is displayed. We recommend using the first
burner that was mentioned. The model overview
describes all of the burners on the hob.
Example:
This example shows the preparation of fish soup using
the high-output burner, the standard-output burner and
the wok burner.
When using the high-output burner (recommended
option), the total cooking time is between 12 and 17
minutes.
■
Step 1: Bring to the boil. Set heat setting 8 for 7-9
minutes.
■
Step 2: Continue boiling. Switch to heat setting 1 for
5-8 minutes.
This information also applies for the other suggested
burners.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner. Make sure that
the pan supports and burner
caps are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Do not place anything, eg.
flame tamer, asbestos mat,
between pan and pan
support as serious damage
to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan
support and enclose the
burner with a wok stand as
this will concentrate and
deflect heat onto the
hotplate.
Do not use large pots or
heavy weights which can
bend the pan support or
deflect flame onto the
hotplate.
