INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
To get the maximum yield with the minimum consumption of electricity it is recommended to keep the following
points in mind:
• Switch the hob heating element on only after you have put the pan on the cooking zone or plate
• Thoroughly dry the bottom of the pan before putting it on the cooking zone or plate.
• Do not use pans with a diameter that is less than that of the cooking zone or plate (fig. 9). When you are buying
saucepans keep in mind that the manufacturer usually gives the largest diameter of the pan which is normally
bigger than the base diameter.
• Use pans with flat, thick bottoms (see fig. 9). Bottoms that are not flat will make cooking times longer.
• Always put a lid on the pan (fig. 9).
• If cooking time is longer than 40 minutes you can switch the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking
time and make use of the residual heat.
• For your information only, the table gives hints on how to use the cooking zones and plates.
