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.
