Settings table
The following table provides some examples. Cooking
times may vary depending on the type of food, its weight
and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.
Set the element to heat setting 9 for bringing to the boil
or initial frying, then switch back to appropriate setting

unnoticed and overflow or spatter. For this reason
we recommend that you stir continuously, gradually
