Tips on saving energy
35
- Cook in covered pots and pans if
possible. This prevents heat escaping
unnecessarily.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- When you have brought the pan to
the boil, switch to a lower power level
as soon as possible.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce
cooking durations.
- It is important to ensure that the kit-
chen is well ventilated during opera-
tion. In extraction mode if there is in-
sufficient air flow, the cooker hood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
power level and therefore benefit
from reduced energy consumption.
- Check the power level on the cooker
hood. A low power level is usually
sufficient. Only use the Booster set-
ting when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking va-
pours are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
cooker hood for longer to try to cap-
ture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
- Switch the cooker hood off after
cooking.
- Clean or replace the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
