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 prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed
by products, which will damage the environment, only.
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 cooked more economically in a pan on the hob.
Make use of the residual heat of the oven.
lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes
before.
Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages
immediately.
Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.
