In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Tips for saving energy
▯
Always use a matching lid with your cookware.
Cooking without a lid consumes significantly more
energy. Use a glass lid. This allows you to see into
the pan without removing the lid.
▯
Use cookware with a flat base. Uneven bases
increase the energy consumption.
▯
Always place items of cookware inside the usable
area of the cooking surface.
▯
Use small pots and pans to cook small quantities.
Using cookware that is big but barely filled requires
a lot of energy.
▯
Cook with as little water as possible. This saves
energy and preserves the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯
Switch to a lower power level in good time. This
prevents energy from being wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
The wireless cooking sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of spent batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.

Induction cooking
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is fundamentally different from
traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly
in the item of cookware. This offers numerous
advantages:
▯
Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯
Energy savings.
▯
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯
Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. If the cookware is removed,
the induction cooking position immediately
interrupts the heat supply without it having been
switched off.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯
Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯
Cookware made from cast iron
▯
Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To find out whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, check whether a magnet is attracted
to the base of the item or refer to the manufacturer's
specifications.
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯
If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment -
WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
