HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy responsibly
not only saves money but
also helps the environment.
So let’s save energy! And
this is how you can do it:
●
Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3
on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times
as much energy!
● Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating zone.
Cookware base should never be smaller than
cooking zone.
●
Ensure that heating zones and pan
bases are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
● Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!)
● Turn off the appliance in time and use
the residual heat.
For long cooking times, turn off heating zones
5 to 10 minutes before finishing cooking. This
saves up to 20% on energy.
● Do not install the hob in the imme-
diate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.
