Hints & Tips for SenseBoil®

• The function is best suited for boiling water and cooking potatoes.
• The function may not work properly for kettles and stovetop espresso pots.
• Fill between half to three quarters of the pot with cold tap water leaving 4 cm from 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.

• 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 hob) when the function is running.
• Depending on the type of food and cookware you can adjust the heat setting after the boiling point has been reached.
• Add salt once the boiling point has been reached.
• Use a lid to save energy.
