USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE
AND THE RECIPES
Cooking means precision. For this reason the recipes in this brochure have been carefully
tailored to your appliance with its nine heat settings. To make using it easier, you will find
some basic information below.
BURNER SELECTION
There are four different types of burner to choose from: the standard output burner, the high
output burner, the wok burner and the economy burner. The recipes in this brochure mostly
use the high output burner, the wok burner and the economy burner. If necessary, please
check in your instruction manual which type of burners your appliance has.
We recommend a specific burner for each recipe. Underneath the title of the recipe you can
see what burner is involved. The relevant setting can be found directly in the recipe.
If you wish to cook your dish on another burner, you may have to adjust the settings and
cooking times.
HEAT SETTINGS
With your new cooktop you can choose between 9 heat settings. Select the appropriate
setting depending on the food and cooking method.

TIMES
The times given for boiling, frying and deep frying are basically guide values. They will
depend on the quality, quantity and composition of the food as well as the cookware used.
For this reason the recipes always give approximate times (approx.).
COOKWARE
For boiling use a frying pan or stainless steel saucepan in the size indicated. The size of the
pan refers to the diameter of its bottom.
The instruction manual for your cooktop contains information and many tips for cooking
with the nine settings. Please make sure you read the instruction manual carefully.
