Environmental protection and saving energy

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-

ible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose

▶

of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use

less energy.

Select the cooking zone to match the size of your

pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-

meter as the hotplate.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper

diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the

base diameter.

¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-

ing zones consume a lot of energy.

Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more

energy.

Suitable cookware

4 Suitable cookware

Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must

have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by

a magnet. The base must also match the size of the

cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking

zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next

smallest diameter.

Notes

¡ Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the

cookware.

Materials

Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich

design that distributes the heat well.

Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled

steel, cast iron or special induction cookware

made of stainless steel.

The base is not fully ferromagnetic.

Cookware bases that contain aluminium.

Cookware made from normal thin steel,

glass, clay, copper or aluminium.

Environmental protection and saving energy en

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 pots and pans with flat bases.

¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.

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.

¡ The 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.

4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware

To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must

take the size and the material of the cookware into con-

sideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat

and smooth.

Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is

suitable. Refer to

→ "Cookware test", Page 15 for more details.

Properties

This cookware distributes the heat evenly,

heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be

detected easily.

This cookware distributes the heat evenly,

heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be

detected.

If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the

base of the cookware, only the area that is

ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat

is not distributed evenly.

These cookware bases reduce the ferromag-

netic area, which means that less power is

emitted to the cookware. This cookware may

not be sufficiently detected or may not be de-

tected at all, and therefore does not heat suf-

ficiently.

¡ Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use

cookware with a thin base, as this may become very

hot.
