Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you
to use your appliance in an ecological
way, and to save energy:
• Use dark coloured or enamel
coated cookware in the oven since
the heat transmission will be better.
• While cooking your dishes, perform
a preheating operation if it is
advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
• Do not open the door of the oven
frequently during cooking.
• Try to cook more than one dish in
the oven at the same time
whenever possible. You can cook
by placing two cooking vessels
onto the wire shelf.
• Cook more than one dish one after
another. The oven will already be hot.
• You can save energy by switching
off your oven a few minutes before
the end of the cooking time. Do not
open the oven door.
• Defrost frozen dishes before
cooking them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for cooking.
If there is no cover, energy
consumption may increase 4 times.
• Select the burner which is suitable
for the bottom size of the pot to be
used. Always select the correct pot
size for your dishes. Larger pots
require more energy.
• Pay attention to use flat bottom
pots when cooking with electric
hobs.
Pots with thick bottom will provide
a better heat conduction. You can
obtain energy savings up to 1/3.
• Vessels and pots must be
compatible with the cooking zones.
Bottom of the vessels or pots must
not be smaller than the hotplate.
• Keep the cooking zones and
bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will
decrease the heat conduction
between the cooking zone and
bottom of the pot.
• For long cookings, turn off the
cooking zone 5 or 10 minutes
before the end of cooking time.
You can obtain energy savings up
to 20% by using the residual heat.
