9. ENERGY SAVING
Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up
to1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover pans if possible; otherwise you will
use four times as much energy!
Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate.
A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
Soils will prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be
removed by products only, which will damage the environment.
Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never
boil!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch off the heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before you
will finish cooking. This saves up to 20% of energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
Meat of up to 1kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker
hob.
Make use of residual heat from the oven.
lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes
before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages
immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/ freezers.
Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.
