Energy-saving tips
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
■
without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass
lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase
■
energy consumption.

Hotplate and residual heat indicator
The hotplate and residual heat indicator lights up when a
hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have
■
switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is
■
still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a
small meal warm or to melt chocolate.

The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size
■
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate
cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers
often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is
usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
■
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
■
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible
■
with your saucepan.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste
■
energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too
high.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
■
you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end
of the cooking time.
