energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy saving tips
■
Always use a matching lid for every item of
cookware. Cooking without a lid consumes
significantly more energy. Use a glass lid. Then you
can see into the pan without raising the lid.
■
Use cookware with a flat base. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
■
Make sure that the diameter of the cookware base
corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. Please
note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the
diameter of the top of the pan, which is usually larger
than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■
For small quantities, use small items of cookware.
Using cookware that is large but barely filled
requires a lot of energy.
■
Cook with as little water as possible. This saves
energy and preserves the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This
prevents energy from being wasted.
■
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 cooking
vapour produced during cooking.Only use the
intensive setting if needed. A lower fan speed
consumes less energy.
■
If cooking produces large amounts of vapour, select
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
vapour 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.
