8 Cooking tips
The values given in the recommended settings are only
a guide; you may need more or less heat depending
on the type and state of the food, as well as the size of
the pan and how full it is.
Fat and oil heat up quickly due to the high power level.
Fat can ignite and the food may burn.
Food that needs to be cooked for longer should be
cooked on the rear cooking zones.
For parboiling, deep-fat frying and searing large quantit-
ies of food, it is a good idea to use the high-output
burner.
