Cooking functions
You can use these functions to heat, simmer or cook
food, or cook it in a pressure cooker or fry it in a
saucepan with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
These cooking functions are available for all hotplates.
Benefits
■
The hotplate only heats up when necessary. This
saves energy. Oil or fat will not overheat.
The temperature is continuously monitored. This
prevents the food from spilling over. The
temperature does not need to be readjusted.
■
A signal will sound once the water or oil has reached
the optimum temperature for adding the food. The
table shows if a food needs to be added right at the
start.
Notes
■
Use pots and pans with a flat base. Do not use pots
and pans with a thin or domed base.
■
Fill the saucepan until its contents are above the
silicone patch on the outside of the pan.
■
Use the frying sensor when frying with a small
amount of oil.
■
Position the cookware in such a way that the
temperature sensor is pointing towards the outer
side of the hob.
■
Do not remove the temperature sensor from the
saucepan during cooking. Once the cooking
process has ended, the functions can be selected
for another hotplate.
■
Remove the temperature sensor from the saucepan
after cooking. Caution: The temperature sensor may
be very hot.
