Preparation
Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use
your appliance in an ecological way, and to save
energy:
•
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
•
Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If
there is no cover, energy consumption may
increase 4 times.
•
Select the burner which is suitable for the
bottom size of the pot to be used. Always
select the correct pot size for your dishes.
Larger pots require more energy.
•
Pay attention to use flat bottom pots when
cooking with electric hobs.
Pots with thick bottom will provide a better
heat conduction. You can obtain energy
savings up to 1/3.
•
Vessels and pots must be compatible with
the cooking zones. Bottom of the vessels or
pots must not be smaller than the hotplate.
•
Keep the cooking zones and bottom of the
pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat
conduction between the cooking zone and
bottom of the pot.
•
For long cookings, turn off the cooking zone
5 or 10 minutes before the end of cooking
time. You can obtain energy savings up to
20% by using the residual heat.
Initial use
First cleaning of the appliance
The surface might get damaged by some
detergents or cleaning materials.
Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning
powders/creams or any sharp objects
during cleaning.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a
damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.
