HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy responsibly not only saves money but also helps the environ
-
ment. So let’s save energy! And this is how you can do it:
●
Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
●
Match the size of the saucepan to the surface of the heating zone.
Cookware base should never be smaller than cooking zone.
●
Ensure that heating zones and pan bases are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeatedly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage to the environment.
●
Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!)
●
Turn off the appliance in time and use the residual heat.
For long cooking times, turn off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before finishing cooking.
This saves up to 20% on energy.
●
Do not install the hob in the immediate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.
