Heat settings
The following settings are only guidelines.
The exact setting will depend on several fac-
tors, including your cookware and the amount
you are cooking. Experiment with the induc-
tion hob to find the settings that are best for
you.

Tips for saving energy and for
cooking
– To sear and parboil food, always select the
highest setting.
– Once the pot boils and steam forms or the
steak is brown on both sides, switch to a
lower level; for larger pots and pans use
the setting “2”, otherwise setting “1” is suf-
ficient.
– Roasts weighing more than 1 kilogram are
best cooked in the oven.
– Use the right dishes and a little water/oil to
cook; this helps to preserve the vitamins.
– Use the residual heat of the cooking zones.
The heat is sufficient enough for 5–10 min-
utes, e.g. for soaking rice.
– When cooking, always leave the lid on the
saucepan wherever possible. Liquids can
be brought to the boil more quickly with the
lid on than without.
– Only ever use high-quality, new sauce-
pans and pans. They lie flat on the hob
and therefore conduct energy more easi-
ly than cookware with a warped or dented
base (please note in the chapter “The right
cookware”).
– Turn the level down quickly and continue to
cook at the lowest possible setting.
– Always use pressure cooking saucepans
whenever possible. This will halve the
cooking process and you will save a lot of
energy.
– Only use as much water as you really need
to cook the food. A lot of energy is required
to warm up water.
