Tips for saving energy
Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.Cooking without
■
the lid requires four times as much energy. A glass lid allows
you to observe the cooking without having to lift the lid off.
Use pots and pans with level bases. Using cookware with
■
unlevel bases increases energy consumption.

Risk of injury!
Saucepans may suddenly jump due to
liquid between the pan base and the
hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and
saucepan bases dry.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
■
Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
■
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
Action
Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Check your cookware.
Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
■
size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are
placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note:
Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the
top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the
base of the pan.
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large
■
saucepan containing little food requires more energy.
Use only a little water when cooking. This will save energy. It
■
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
■
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
■
you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
