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.

q Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, it
is possible to switch off the hotplate 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
q The oven should only be preheated if
recommended in the recipe or the table in the
instruction manual.
