OPERATION
Suitable pans
Significant quantities of energy can be saved if the appliance is used correctly, parameters
set correctly, and appropriate cookware is used. The savings can be as follows:
• Up to 60 per cent savings when proper pots are used,
• Up to 60 per cent savings when the unit is operated correctly and the suitable flame size
is chosen.
It is a prerequisite for efficient and energy-saving operation of the cooktop that the burners
are kept clean at all times (in particular the flame slots and nozzles).
Lids:
Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time.

diameters of the flame by 2.5 – 3 times;
• For the small burner, the most suitable pot will be 90-140 mm in diameter,

• For the large burner, the most suitable pot will be 200-240 mm in diameter,
