7Environmental protection

Envi r onment al pr ot ect i on

In this section, you can find information about saving

energy and disposing of the appliance.

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.

■ 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.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly

manner.
