Protecting the Environment

Energy-saving advice

• Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will increase energy consumption considerably. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
• Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
• Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
• The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted.
• Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
• Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
• Switch to a lower heat setting in time.
• Select a suitable setting for ongoing cooking. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high.
• Use the residual heat of the cooktop. For longer cooking times, you can switch the element off minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Operation

Setting the cooktop

• This section will show you how to set the elements. The table contains details on the heat settings for a variety of dishes.
• WARNING
• Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal injury and damage to the appliance.
• Setting the element
• Select the desired heat level turning the corresponding knob.
• The heat level can be adjusted along the circle segments around each knob.
• Thin end of circle segment = minimum heat level
• Thick end of circle segment = maximum heat level
• When the element turns on, the power-on indicator lights up.
• Turning off
• Turn the control knob to OFF. When all control knobs are in the OFF position, the cooktop is turned off.

Note: The heat is turned on and off to regulate the temperature of the element; this means that the red glow below the element is not always visible. When you select a low heat setting, the element turns off for longer intervals, while at a higher setting these intervals are very short. Even at the highest level, the element turns on and off.
