in an environmentally responsible manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2002/96/EU on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment WEEE.

and recycling of old appliances, which is valid across
the EU.
Always use the right lid for the pan in question.

Cooking without the lid requires four times as
much energy.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Using
H
cookware with uneven bases increases energy
consumption.
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should
H
match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots
that are too small are placed on the hotplate,
energy is wasted.
Please note: Cookware manufacturers often
specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is
usually bigger than the diameter of the base of
the pan.
Use a small pan for small quantities of food.
H
A larger, less full saucepan requires more energy.
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves
H
energy. It also preserves vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
