Settings table and tips
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values in the settings table serve as mere
guidelines, since more or less heat may be required,
depending on the type and condition of the foods, as
well as the size and fullness of the pot.
The high output causes grease and oil to heat up
quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying;
grease can catch fire and burn the food.
Wok tips
We recommend woks with a concave bottom. You can
order a high-quality wok as a special accessory (WP
400 001)
For cooking, only use cooking oil that can be heated
up, such as peanut oil, with the wok.
Cook the ingredients at high heat while stirring
constantly, for not too long. The vegetables should
still be firm to the bite.
It is advisable to use a flat ladle with a long handle,
made of heat-resistant material, to stir and scoop out.

Use cooking vessels of
appropriate size for the
particular burner.
Don't use small cooking
vessels on large burners.
The flame shouldn't come
in contact with the sides of
the cooking vessel.
Don't use any deformed
cooking vessels that don't
stand solidly on the
cooktop. The vessels could
tip over.
Only use cooking vessels
with flat and thick bottoms.
Don't cook without a lid or
if the lid is not on all the
way. The majority of the
heat is lost.
Place the cooking vessel in
the center of the burner,
otherwise it may tip over.
Don't place large pots on
the burners near the stove
controls. They could
overheat and become
damaged.
