3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible 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.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡ This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli-
ance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡ The cooking compartment is heated after baking
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.

Cause
Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-
cessories or other hard or pointed objects.
Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-
ware on the hob.
Salt, sugar or sand.
Cooking with frozen cookware.
Cooking without contents.
Melted material on the hot cooking zone or
hot pot lid on the glass.
Hot cookware on the control panel or on the
frame.
Measure
When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-
jects fall onto the hob.
Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when
moving it.
Do not use the hob as a work surface or
storage space.
Never use frozen cookware.
Never place or heat empty cookware on a
hot cooking zone.
Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-
minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids
on the hob.
Never place hot cookware on these areas.
Do not place oven accessories that exceed the height
of the drawer into the plinth drawer. Otherwise, this
may damage the appliance.
Do not place oven accessories that exceed the
▶
height of the drawer into the plinth drawer.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡ This will save the energy that would otherwise be
required to defrost it.
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
diameter 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.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
