Does anyone know if it is possible to turn this burner on so that it heats all the way through?

  1. Usually with V-Zug stoves the control for those “two ring” burners can be turned more than “max level” and then meet some resistance (so you can’t turn them endlessly around). As soon as you meet that resistance and get something like a “click” you have activated the outer ring.

  2. you can turn it to max and then a little bit more and it bounces back automaticaly… at least on those i‘ve had.

  3. The rotating knob will go slightly further than the ‘6’ and then spring back … so you rotate it onto the spring and let it come back to 6 … that should light the outer ring

  4. Smart of you to leave the olive oil right beside the stove, might actually place it directly above for even better results

  5. Yes, turn all the way up clockwise, passed the limit and then turn back to the number you want

  6. Oh wait what so it has more power afterwards? I think i have to tell my mom cause she stopped using that particular hob cause it was to weak 😂

  7. Wow, thank you for asking this question! At first I was like “how did picture of our kitchen appear on Reddit?!” (Are all the kitchens in Switzerland the same?)

    After reading through the replies I sprinted to try it – and yes, it is possible to turn the bigger ring on. We tried to figure it out when we moved to our apartment, but failed – and for almost three years we thought that the marking is there just for some higher version of the stove.

    For just this, all my time spent procrastinating on reddit was worth it!

  8. In my last apartment the stovetop they installed didn’t fit the stove itself.
    The electrician came and said that there’s no fixing this. We would have had to change the whole thing.

  9. Reading through this is like: “Tell me you never had to help out in the kitchen when you were young, without telling me that you never had to help out”

  10. I need to send this to all my friends, a few Christmases ago we had this exact same problem and we were cooking our soup for eons. 😀

  11. Do other countries not have this system?

    I’m glad we did when I was a child. Otherwise I wouldn’t have figured it out in the places I lived as an adult. 🙂
