3.2 Reduction of the environmental impacts of cooking
Cover your pot/pan with lid during cooking.
Switch off the appliance after cooking or use the delayed switch-off function
(equipment depends on model).
Switch off the illuminant(s) of the appliance after cooking.
The diameter of the pot/pan should meet the diameter of the cooking zone or
the size of the flame of the burner (gas appliances).
Only operate the highest motor speed of the appliance to extract strong
concentration of cooking fumes.
Clean the grease filter(s) regularly as clean filters will increase the efficiency of
the appliance.
Replace carbon filters (for recirculation mode only) regularly. Observe the
information given on the packaging of the carbon filters.
