Environmental protection and saving energy
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.
-
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids. -
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible. -
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid. -
You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. -
Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water. -
he more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on. -
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.
