Levels of cooking / Keep warm
The cooking zones front and the Bridge area have 3 cooking levels (level T1 = 45 ° C, T2 = 70 ° C,
T3 = 94 ° C) (see figure at right)
The level of warming (T1) is not required to reheat food raffreddatesi but to keep food
warm in very hot immediately after preparation. If you set the level of warming, the
cooking zone remains on for max. 2 hours.

Useful tips
-Only use pans for keeping food warm. Cover the pan with a lid.
-You do not have to stir food while it is being kept warm.
-Nutrients are lost when food is cooked, and this will continue when food is kept warm. The longer food is
kept warm for, the greater the loss of nutrients. Try to ensure that food is kept warm for as short a time
as possible.
Switching off and residual heat indicators
-Switching off a cooking zone.
-Touch the “0” on the numerical keypad of the cooking zone you wish to use.
-A 0 will flash in the cooking zone display for a few seconds. If the cooking zone is still hot, the residual
heat indicator will then appear in the display.
Switching off the hob
-Touch the CD sensor.
-This switches off all cooking zones. The residual heat indicator will appear in the display of any cooking
zone which is still hot.
Danger of burning and fire hazard.
Do not touch the cooking zones whilst the residual heat indicators are lit up.
Tips on saving energy
-Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.
-Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A smaller pan uses less energy than a larger pan
with very little in it.
-Cook with as little water as possible.
-Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower
setting.
-Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure cooker.
