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.

■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.
