Energy-saving tips
■ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking
without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass
lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
■ Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase
energy consumption.
■ The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate
cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers
often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is
usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full
saucepan requires a lot of energy.
■ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins
and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
■ Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible
with your saucepan.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■ Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste
energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too
high.
■ Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end
of the cooking time.
Getting to know your appliance
The instruction manual is the same for various different hobs.
An overview of the models with their dimensions is given on
page 2.
The control panel
Hotplate controls
The hotplate controls are permanently fixed. They must not be
removed. Forcibly removing the hotplate controls leads to them
being destroyed.
The hotplates
Hotplate and residual heat indicators
The hotplate and residual heat indicators e light up when a
hotplate is warm:
■ Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have
switched on a hotplate.
■ Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is
still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a
small dish warm or to melt chocolate.
