Cooking assist functions
Cooking a ssist fu nctions
The cooking assistance functions guarantee easy
cooking and promise outstanding cooking results. The
recommended temperature settings are suitable for any
type of cooking.
They enable you to cook without using excessive heat
and promise the perfect cooking and frying results.
The sensors measure the temperature of the cooking
vessel throughout the cooking process. This permits the
appliance's output to be regulated in order to maintain
the correct temperature.
Once the selected temperature has been reached, the
food can be added. The temperature is automatically
kept constant without the temperature setting having to
be changed.
The cooking zones that have a frying sensor are
marked with the frying sensor symbol.
The cooking functions are available to all cooking zones
if a wireless temperature sensor is connected.
