Energy saving tips
• When buying pots, be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge of the pot,
which is often larger than the bottom;
• Steam-pressure pots, which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially economic, and save
both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins in food;
• Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating which may
damage both the pot and the appliance;
• Always cover pots with lids of appropriate size;
• Use such pot size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared.
