cooking information
settings and power levels
getting used to it...
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of the
appliance. In particular, bringing things to the boil on the
higher setting is very fast. To prevent anything boiling over or
boiling dry, it would be best to stay nearby or to use the fast-
cook setting.
setting 12
Only switch the hob on at setting 12 (the highest power
level) if you want to boil water. This setting is too high for
heating butter or milk and much too high for defrosting.
– Consult the cooking tables on pages 13 and 14 to help you
learn the techniques.
setting 11
Setting 11 is the grill setting. This setting is suitable for
grilling meat. Setting 12 is far too fast for this; the milk
constituents in the margarine burn before the margarine has
melted.
