ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The cooking hob is equipped with hotplates having
different diameters. Use pots and pans whose bottom
diameter is equal to that of the hotplates, or slightly larger.
• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
• Do not operate a hotplate without placing a container
on it.
• If possible, keep the container covered when cooking.
• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a small amount of
water in order to cut down cooking time.
• A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and
time.

Important: Never clean the appliance with high pressure
water or steam cleaning equipment.

mains power supply and wait until it has cooled down.
