it is cold.

the glass Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-
cessories or other hard or pointed objects. When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-
jects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolour-
ation Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-
ware on the hob. Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when
moving it.

storage space.

ance Cooking with frozen cookware. Never use frozen cookware.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip:
Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡
When you lift a lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Using a glass lid
¡
You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡
Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware suited to the quantity of food.
¡
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with little water.
¡
The more water contained in cookware, the more
energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower heat setting early on. Use a suit-
able ongoing cooking setting to continue cooking.
¡
If you use an ongoing cooking setting that is too
high, you will waste energy
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-
duced during cooking.
¡
The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
¡
The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
¡
The appliance does not consume any energy.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cook-
ing.
¡
The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer
operating noises.
Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
¡
The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
