Environmental protection

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 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.

Getting to know your appliance

The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs. An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on page 2.
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.
