→ "Saving energy", Page 6

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!

▶

cookware and flammable objects.

Note: When using some items of cookware, a tempor-

ary, slight deformation of the stainless steel cooking

surface may occur. This is normal and does not affect

the functionality of the appliance.

8 Recommended settings for cooking

You can use the control knobs on the appliance to set

the flame height incrementally to different power levels

from 1 to 9.

The cooking times and power levels may vary depend-

ing on the type of food, its weight and quality, on the

type of gas used, and on the material from which the

cookware is made.

Tips

¡ Cooking tips

– When cooking soups, creams, lentils or chick-

peas, add all of the ingredients to the cookware

at the same time.

– For pan-fried dishes, heat the oil up first. As soon

as you have started frying, keep the temperature

constant and adjust the power level as required.

When preparing several portions, wait until the

relevant temperature has been reached again.

Turn the food regularly.

¡ To reduce the cooking time:

– Use a pressure cooker to cook creams and

pulses. If you are using a pressure cooker, follow

the manufacturer's instructions.

– The water must be boiling before you add pasta,

rice or potatoes. Then adjust the power level in

order to continue boiling.

– Always use a lid when cooking rice and pota-

toes.
