7Environmental protection

In this section, you can find information about saving

t e c t i o n

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

energy and disposing of the appliance.

Energy-saving tips

Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When

■

cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is

required. A glass lid means that you can see inside

without having to lift the lid.

Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases

■

increase energy consumption.

The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the

■

same size as the hotplate. In particular, small

saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses.

Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate

the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually

bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.

Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,

■

less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.

Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.

■

Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.

Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as

■

possible with your saucepan.

Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.

■

Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will

■

waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting

which is too high.

Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking

■

times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes

before the end of the cooking time.
