Preventing material damage3 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
Never cover the stainless steel gas cooktop, for ex-
ample with aluminium foil or oven protectors.
Only use the accessories specified.
10
Environmental protection and saving energy en
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units.
If the appliance is in operation for an extended period,
heat and moisture will be generated.
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
ing to the outside.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one
single item of cookware.
Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long
time at full power.
Do not use large pots which can deflect flame onto
the cooktop.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the
burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and
deflect heat onto the cooktop.
Do not place anything, for example, flame tamer or
asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as seri-
ous damage to the appliance may result.
A build-up of heat may damage the controls.
Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that
are close to the control knobs.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could lead
to malfunctions.
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
when the appliance is not being used.
Handling the cookware roughly may damage the sur-
face of the appliance.
Handle the cookware on the cooktop carefully.
Acidic liquids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, may dam-
age the surface of the appliance.
Do not leave acidic liquids on the cooktop.
Environmental protection and saving energy4 Environmental protection and saving energy
4.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper dia-
meter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base
diameter.
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
You can see into the pan through a glass lid without
having to lift it.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
The more water that is contained in the cookware, the
more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
4.2 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.

Tips
Cooking tips
– When cooking soups, creams, lentils or chickpeas,
add all of the ingredients to the cookware at the
same time.
– For pan-fried dishes, heat the oil up first. As soon
as you have started frying, keep the temperature
constant and adjust the power level as required.
When preparing several portions, wait until the rel-
evant temperature has been reached again. Turn
the food regularly.
To reduce the cooking time:
– Use a pressure cooker to cook creams and pulses.
If you are using a pressure cooker, follow the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
– The water must be boiling before you add pasta,
rice or potatoes. Then adjust the power level in or-
der to continue boiling.
– Always use a lid when cooking rice and potatoes.
