you can find tips on how to save even more energy when

appliance properly.
Tips on saving energy
Please observe the following tips on saving energy:
▯
Saucepans and pots should always be covered with
a suitable lid to shorten cooking times.
▯
Use good quality saucepans and pots with thick,
even bases. Using cookware with uneven bases
increases energy consumption.
▯
The size of the cookware should correspond to the
amount of the food to be prepared. Large pots
which are only half full waste enery.
▯
The diameter of the bases of the saucepans and
pots should match the size of the cooking zone.
Note: ovenware manufacturers often give the
diameter of the top of the saucepan. It is usually
larger than the diameter of the base of the
saucepan.
▯
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves
energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Use the residual heat of the cooktop to keep food
warm.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
