Advice on saving energy
Environmental Protection
Use a pan with thick flat base. Curved bases increase
energy consumption.
Place a ruler on the base of the pan, if there are no gaps,
the base of the pan is completely flat.
The diameter of the base of the pan should fit the size of the
hotplate.
Check if the manufacturer has indicated the upper diameter
of the pan. In general, this is greater than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
If the diameter of the pan does not fit the diameter of the
hotplate, you are recommended to use a pan which is larger
than the size of the hotplate, or else about half the energy
will be lost.
Choose pans which are the right size for the amount of food
to be prepared. A large pan which is half full will consume a
lot of energy.
Always centre the pan on the hotplate and always cover the
pan with the matching lid. Cooking without using the lid
quadruples energy consumption.
Cook using small amounts of water. This will save energy
and will also help green vegetables retain their vitamins and
minerals.
During their cooking, food such as stews, soups may heat
up too quickly without any indication, spilling out of the
cookware.
It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently,
selecting a suitable power level and stirring the contents
before and during cooking.
We recommend not to use for Induction hob pots that have
been used in a gas hob
（
fire can deform the flatness of
bottom). In case of use, check that bottom is flat.
Environmentally-friendly waste management
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging by
environmentally-friendly means.
