Energy saving tips
For optimum results, observe the following advice:
• Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is
equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly
larger.
• Avoid the use of high pressure water or steam
cleaning equipment.
• If liquid spills or boils over, the hob may switch off:
to enable it to be switched back on again,
carefully dry the controls zone.
• The cooktop features different size
hotplates/cooking zones. Use pots whose base
diameter is the same as that of the
hotplate/cooking zone.
To avoid permanently damaging the glass
ceramic cooktop, do not use:
- pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat;
- metal pots with enamelled bottom.
• When finished cooking, press button .
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or a
support surface.
• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
• If possible, keep pot lids on when cooking.
• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in
order to cut down cooking time.
• A pressure cooker allows you to save even more
energy and time.
