Protecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
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.

Energy-saving advice

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass
lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the
lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat
use a lot more energy.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers
usually provide the diameter for the top of the
pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of
the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking.
If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking represents a radical change from
the traditional method of heating; the heat is
generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a
number of advantages:
Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan
is heated directly.
Energy is saved.
Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have
spilt do not burn as quickly.
Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts
off power as soon as the control knob is turned
on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if
the pan is removed without having previously
switched it off.

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction
cooking; these may be made from:
enamelled steel
cast iron
special stainless steel induction pans.
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if
a magnet will stick to its base.
There are other types of cookware for induction whose
base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
When using large cookware
on a smaller ferromagnetic
area, only the ferromagnetic
zone heats up, so heat might
not be uniformly distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce
the ferromagnetic area, so
less heat may be supplied
and the pan may be difficult
to detect or not be detected
at all.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's
ferromagnetic area should
match the size of the hot-
plate. If cookware is not
detected on a hotplate, try it
on the next smaller hotplate
down.
