Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
not exceed the width of the silk-screened
cooking zone.
• Pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the hob or above the front
control panel.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or
the top of the pan, as the top is almost
always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also helps to retain vitamins
contained in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
Power levels
The power in the cooking zone can be
adjusted to various levels. The table shows
the levels suitable for various types of
cooking.
