COOKING GUIDELINES
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re
using PowerBoost. At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite
spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
1. Cooking tips
 When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.

Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
 Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.

Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several
factors, including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with
the Ceramic hob to find the settings that best suit you.
