In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Saving energy
▯
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯
Use pots and pans with flat bases. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
▯
The base diameter of pots and pans should be the
same size as the hotplate. Please note: Cookware
manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top
of the saucepan, which is usually larger than the
diameter of the base of the saucepan.
▯
Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Switch back to a lower heat setting in good time.
This will save energy.
▯
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of air to enable the ventilation system to
work efficiently and with a low level of operating
noise.
▯
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
▯
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
ventilation system will need to be operated for
longer.
▯
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
▯
Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of
the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
