Using the automatic warm-up function
All cooking zones are equipped with an
automatic warm-up function. The auto-
matic warm-up function sets the cook-
ing zone to the highest setting for a
certain period of time and then automat-
ically switches back to the cooking set-
ting that was originally set.
If during the automatic warm up a
higher heat setting is selected, e.g.
from Áto Ã, the automatic warm
up is adjusted.
The length of time that the automatic
warm up function operates depends on
the heat setting selected.

18 electrolux tips on cooking and frying
Tips on Cooking and Frying
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products con-
taining starch, can constitute a
health risk due to acrylamides.
Therefore we recommend cooking
at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware
•You can recognise good cookware
from the bottoms of the pans. The
bottom should be as thick and flat as
possible.
•Cookware made of enamelled steel
or with aluminium or copper bottoms
can leave discolorations on the glass
ceramic surface which are difficult or
impossible to remove.

tips on cooking and frying electrolux 19
Energy saving
Always place cookware on the
cooking zone before it is switched
on.
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take ad-
vantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.
