Tips for cooking with the cooking functions
■ Heating/keep-warm function: Frozen products in
portions, e.g. spinach. Place the frozen product in
the cookware. Add the quantity of water specified by
the manufacturer. Cover the cookware and select
the 1/70 °C setting. Stir during cooking.
■ Simmering: Thicken food, e.g. sauces. Bring the
food to the boil at the recommended temperature.
Once the food has thickened, simmer at setting 2/
90 °C.
When the signal sounds, keep the food warm at this
setting for the required time.
■ Boiling: Heat up water with the lid on. It will not boil
over. Select temperature setting 3/100 ºC.
■ Cooking in a pressure cooker function: Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations. Continue cooking
for the recommended time once the signal has
sounded. Select temperature setting 4/120 ºC.
■ Frying with a large amount of oil in the saucepan
function: Heat the oil with the lid on. Once the signal
has sounded, take the lid off and add the food.
Select temperature setting 5/170 ºC.
Notes
■ Always cook with the lid on. Exception: "Frying with a
large amount of oil in the saucepan", temperature
setting 5/170 °C.
■ If an audible signal does not sound, make sure that
the lid is on the pan.
■ Never leave oil unattended during heating. Use oil or
fat that is suitable for frying. Do not mix different
cooking fats together, e.g. oil and lard. Mixtures of
different fats may froth up when hot.
■ If you are not satisfied with the cooking result, e.g.
when cooking potatoes, next time use less water but
keep the recommended temperature setting.
Setting the boiling point
The point at which water starts to boil depends on the
height of your home above sea level. You can set the
boiling point if water is boiling too strongly or not
strongly enough. To do this, proceed as follows:
■ Select the basic setting ™…; see the section on
~ "Basic settings"
■ The basic setting is 3 as standard. If your home is
between 200 and 400 metres above sea level, there
is no need to set the boiling point. If not, choose the
correct setting from the following table according to
your altitude:
Note: Temperature setting 3/100 °C provides efficient
cooking even if the water does not bubble very strongly
during the heating process. However, if you are not
satisfied with the boiling result, you can change the
boiling point setting.
