Fast-cook setting
You bring food to the boil on a high setting.
Then you switch to a lower setting to allow
the food to cook through. The automatic
bringing to the boil feature does this for you.
After bringing food to the boil at full power,
the feature automatically switches the hob
down to the cooking-through setting.
You usually use the same setting for certain
foods. You always let potatoes, for example,
cook through at setting 5. Using the automatic
bringing to the boil feature, you can now
select the setting immediately. The potatoes
are brought to the boil, and after this the
feature automatically switches the hob down
to setting 5. So you do not have to stay around
to turn the dish down to a lower setting once it
has come to the boil.
Attention! When cooking small quantities, the
fast-cook setting may be too fierce. In that
case, do not use the fast-cook setting.

1 Switch the hob to the hightest power (setting 9) only if you want to bring water to the boil.
Setting 9 is too high to heat butter or milk and far too high for defrosting. Setting 8 is for grilling.
This setting is suitable for frying meat.
