Environmental protection and saving energy

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.

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately
