I n this section, you can find information about saving

E n v i r o n m e n t a l p r o t e c t i o n

energy and disposing of the appliance.

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.

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.

fInduction cooking

A dvantages of induction cooking

I n d u c t i o n c o o k i n g

Induction cooking is very 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.

■

Saves energy.

■

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. The induction hotplate stops the

heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed

from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.

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 check whether your cookware is suitable for

induction cooking, refer to the section on

~ "Cookware check".

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic

area on the base of the pan should match the size of

the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of

cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a

smaller diameter.

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.
