• When purchasing a pan, note that the diameter indicated on
the pan often refers to the diameter of the upper side, or lid,
which is often larger than the pan bottom diameter.
• Pressure cookers that make use of high pressure in a tightly
sealed container are particularly economical, as they save
both time and power. Furthermore, shorter cooking time
means more vitamins are retained in the food.
• Make sure there is always enough liquid in a pressure cooker
as an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in overheating
and damage to both the pot and the cooking hob.
• If possible, always cover the pots with a suitably sized lid.
• Use cookware that corresponds to the quantity of the food you
are preparing. Cooking in a large, only partly
fi
lled pan, will
consume much more energy than required.

To avoid damaging the cooking zone, observe the following
instructions:
• Do not place an empty pan on the cooking zone.
• Before placing a pan on the cooking zone, wipe the pan
bottom dry to enable the transfer of heat and to avoid
damaging the cooking zone.
• When cooking or frying, only use pans whose bottom has
magnetic properties, i.e. steel, enamel-coated, or cast iron
cookware. Only in such case will the induction hob work.
The power of each cooking zone may set to nine different levels.
The following table lists the examples of use for each individual
levels.
