• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook-
ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the pow-
er generated by the cooking zone. For the
minimum diameters see the Technical In-
formation chapter.
5.5
Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before
the count down timer sounds. The
difference in the operation time
depends on the heat setting level
and the length of the cooking op-
eration.
5.6
The Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power
is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half
of its power.
