the rim of the pot empty. Do not use less
than 1 or more than 5 litres of water. Make
sure the total weight of the water (or the
water and potatoes) ranges between 1-5
kg.
• If you want to cook potatoes, make sure
they are completely covered with water,
but remember to leave at least one quarter
of the pot empty.
• To achieve the best results cook only
whole, unpeeled, medium-sized potatoes.
• Make sure you do not pack potatoes too
tightly.
• Avoid producing external vibrations (e.g.
from using a blender or placing a mobile
phone next to the appliance) when the
function is running.
• If you want to use salt, add it after the
water reaches the boiling point.
• The function may not work properly for
water kettles and espresso pots.

7.6 Hints and tips for Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the function:
7.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking
zone deactivates before the count down timer
sounds. The difference in the operation time
depends on the heat setting level and the
length of the cooking operation.
7.5 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
