3 Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper dia-
meter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base
diameter.
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
4 Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

The instruction manual is the same for various different
hobs. You can find the hob dimensions in the overview
of models. → Page 2
4.1 Control panel
You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operat-
ing status.

Measure
Check your cookware.
Only use cleaning products
that are suitable for glass
ceramic.
Damage Cause
Discol- Pan abrasion,
ouration e.g. aluminium
Blisters Sugar or food
with a high
sugar content
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Using a glass lid
You can see into the pan through a glass lid without
having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
The more water there is in the cookware, the more
energy that is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Take advantage of the hob's residual heat. With longer
cooking times switch off the hotplate 5-10 minutes be-
fore the end of cooking.
Unused residual heat increases energy consumption.
Measure
Lift pots and pans to move
on the hob.
Remove boiled-over food
immediately with a glass
scraper.
