Protection Of The Environment - Siemens HL 65024 Instruction Manual

Protection of the environment

Packaging and old
appliances
How to save energy
Your new appliance was protected by suitable
packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials
used for this purpose are environmentally friendly and
suitable for recycling. Please make a contribution to
protecting the environment by disposing of the
packaging appropriately.
Old appliances are not worthless rubbish.
Environmentally conscious recycling can reclaim
valuable raw materials.
Before disposing of your old appliance, please make
sure that it is unusable, or label it with a sticker stating
Caution, scrap".
Up to date information concerning options for
disposing of your old appliance and the packaging
from the new one can be obtained from your retailer
or local authority.
q We recommend saucepans and pots with thick,
even bases. Uneven bases increase the cooking
time.
q Always use a saucepan which is the correct size
for the quantity of food. A larger, less full saucepan
requires more energy.
q Saucepans and pots should always be covered
with a suitable lid.
q The most efficient transfer of heat occurs when the
base of the saucepan and the hotplate are the
same size. When buying saucepans, ensure that
the manufacturer has stated the diameter of the
top of the pan. This is usually larger than the
diameter of the base.
q Switch back to a lower cooking setting in good
time.
