4.6 How to save energy

 Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up
to1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible;
otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
 Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate.
 A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
 Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
 Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed
by products, which will damage the environment, only.
 Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never
boil!).
 Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
 Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
 For long cooking times, switch off the heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before you
will finish cooking. This saves up to 20% of energy.
 Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
 Meat of up to 1kg can be cooked more economically in a pan on the hob.
 Make use of the residual heat of the oven.
 lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes
before.
 Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
 Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages
immediately.
 Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.
