Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the
end of the cooking time to use residu-
al heat.
• The bottom of pans and cooking
zones must have the same dimension.
The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook-
ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
For the minimum diameters see the
Technical Information chapter.

The Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting
and the cooking zone consumption of
power is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
