energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
▯
Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
▯
The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers
usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan,
which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan
base.
▯
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
▯
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.

Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯
Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯
Saves energy.
▯
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯
Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯
Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯
Cookware made from cast iron
▯
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
You can check whether the cookware is suitable for
induction cooking.
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can find information on
positioning cookware in the section on .
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
