5. Environmental protection
5.1 Environmental protection: disposal
❖ Appliances bearing this symbol « » must not be disposed of together with
household waste throughout the EU. To prevent potential damage to the
environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote
the sustainable reuse of material resources, responsibly supply the appliance to a
recycling centre.
5.2 Environmental protection: energy saving
❖ Use proper cookware for cooking.
❖ Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to1/3 of electric energy. Remember
to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much
energy!
❖ Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware
should never be smaller than a heating plate.
❖ Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
❖ Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed
by products, which will damage the environment, only.
❖ Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).
❖ Decrease the power level as soon as the desired cooking temperature is reached.
❖ Use pot-lids to shorten cooking times and save energy.
❖ Minimize the amount of cooking liquids or fat/oil to shorten cooking times.
❖ Select a high power level, when you start cooking. Reduce the power level, when
your food has been heated up.
❖ For long cooking times: Switch off the cooking zones 5 to 10 minutes before you
will finish cooking. This saves up to 20 % of energy.
❖ You can use the residual heat of the cooking zones for saving energy when
starting a new cooking procedure on a cooking zone which is still warm / hot.
❖ Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
❖ Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
❖ Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
