Tips for Energy Savings

By using the appliance correctly and by taking
into account our recommendations, you can
make substantial energy savings.

Refrigerator

• Try not to open the door too often,
especially when the weather is wet and
hot. Once you open the door, remember to
close it as soon as possible.

• Every now and then check if the appliance
is suffIciently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance).

• Set the thermostat from higher to lower
settings as soon as possible (depends
on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperature etc).

• Before loading the appliance with packages
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled
to ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layers increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3 - 5 mm thick.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.

Cooker

The bottom of the dish
is too thin and becomes
crooked in the process
of heating up. The
consequence is excessive
consumption of energy and
uneven distribution of heat.

incorrect

The dish is too big or
too small. Temperature
resistant glass, protruding
over the edge, might break.
Dish with too small bottom
diameter excessively
consumes energy and is
not economical.

incorrect

Adequate size of cooking
dishes. Below are some
important suggestions how
to use your new cooker and
its accessories in order to
save as much energy as
possible.

correct

Stick to the general rule:

The better the quality of the dish, the lower
consumption of energy!

Tips for purchasing crockery

• Good quality dishes feature thick flat
bottom. Uneven bottom of the dish causes
increased consumption of energy and
extended cooking time.

• When purchasing new crockery carefully
check if the diameter quoted refers to
the upper rim or the bottom. The latter is
usually always smaller.

• Use of pressure cookers additionally saves
energy, since food is prepared in a closed
dish and under pressure. Furthermore,
shorter cooking time preserves the vitamin
contents.

Tips for effective use of crockery

• The best transfer of energy is obtained if
the bottom diameter of the dish is identical
to the hotplate diameter, and if the dish is
placed exactly in the center of the hotplate.

• If the diameter differs, it is always better
to have bigger crockery than smaller. The
loss of energy is greater, and stains may be
burned to the hotplate.

• Use pot lids and cover your cookware
whenever possible.

• The dish size should always suit the
quantity of food. Excessively big pot wastes
too much energy.

• Reduce power regulation towards the end
of cooking, and switch the hotplate off
before cooking is complete, to be able to
use the remaining heat.
