ting things down.

Overheating can damage the cookware.

Environmental protection and en-

ergy-saving

3.1

Disposal 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 tips, your appliance consumes less en-

ergy.

Select a cookware diameter that matches the cooking

zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.

Tip:

Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diame-

ter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is

usually smaller.

a

The energy is targeted at the cookware.

If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted.

If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to

heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

a

Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

a

If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

a

If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware

without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

a

Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you

want to cook.

a

Cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

a

More water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a

suitable power level to continue cooking.

a

For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

Induction cooking

4.1

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is fundamentally different from tradi-

tional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in

the cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

¡

Saves time when boiling and frying.

¡

Saves energy.

¡

Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn

on as quickly.
