Causes of damage
Caution!
- Risk of heat damage to adjacent appliances or
kitchen units: If the appliance is in operation for an
extended period, heat and moisture will be generated.
Additional ventilation is required. Open the window or
switch on an extractor hood that discharges the
extracted air and moisture outside the building.
-
Risk of damage to the appliance due to the build-
up of heat: Do not heat roasters, frying pans or grill
stones using more than one burner at a time.
-
Malfunction: Always turn the control knob to the "Off"
position when the appliance is not being used.
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips and
provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy

Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.

Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
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.

Cook with only a little water. This will save energy and
preserve the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.

Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will
save energy.
