Environmental protection and saving energy

Help protect the environment by using your appliance
in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
Information about current disposal methods are
available from your specialist dealer or local author-
ity.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Measure
Only use cleaning agents
that are suitable for glass
ceramic.
Lift pots and pans to
move on the hob.

Blisters Sugar or food

sugar content
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡ Cooking without a lid consumes far more energy.
Lift the lid as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Using a glass lid
¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware suited to the quantity of food.
¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with little water.
¡ The more water in cookware, the more energy is re-
quired to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower heat setting early on. Use a suit-
able ongoing cooking setting to continue cooking.
Take advantage of the hob's residual heat. With
longer cooking times switch off the hotplate
5-10 minutes before the end of cooking.
¡ If you continue cooking with an ongoing cooking
setting that is too high, you'll waste energy
If you take advantage of residual heat, you'll save
energy.
Measure
Remove boiled-over food
immediately with a glass
scraper.
