4. Environmental protection
4.1 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.
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.
5. Cooking guidelines
WARNING! Be very careful when frying, because oil and fat heat up
very fast especially when operating a high power level. Extremely hot oil
and fat inflame spontaneously and represent a serious fire risk.
WARNING! NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off
the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
Caution! Cooking utensils may become hot because of the heat
transferred by the heated food. Potholders or oven gloves may be
needed to handle such utensils.
