Cooking times are longer if
you use the appliance in-
tensively.

¡

This may be due to the fact that internal safety mechanisms are preventing the
cooker from overheating.
Try to change the position of the cookware.

Bubbles are forming with
an uneven distribution
within the cookware.

¡

Depending on the selected power level, type of cookware or the combination with
other cookware, bubbles may form unevenly. However, this has no effect on the
temperature or the cooking process.
