Instruction for use
Filling with water
Fill the pan with water to correct level for cooking application:
 Never throw a handful of salt in the bottom of the pan. A high concentration of salt in
combination with chlorine can attack the special stainless steel pan.
 If you need salty water, sprinkle the salt into the boiling water.
To cook, reheat, poach and boil-in-the-
bag
 Up to "MAX" mark (approx.. 35 litres)
 For small quantities of food reduce volume of water
accordingly
To steam:
 Fill to "VAP" mark
 As soon as the level drops to the "MIN" mark, water
must be added to prevent damage to the heating el-
ements
To use as a bain-marie:
 Adapt level to depth and content of GN dishes. Nev-
er let level fall below "MIN"
Switching on, cooking

starts heating.
 The orange lamp goes out when the tempera-
ture is reached.
Warning:
To cook pasta, the water should be
boiling fiercely. By turning the


Before removing the pasta from the pan
when it is "al dente", reduce the thermo-
stat to 90°C for example
