Protecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used
electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and recycling

Energy-saving advice

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid
■
uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility
and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot
■
more energy.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the
■
hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the
diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than
the diameter of the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which
■
is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and
■
preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the
■
power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Measure
