Protection of the Environment
Your new appliance was protected by suitable
packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials
used for this purpose are environmentĆfriendly and
suitable for recycling. Please make a contribution to
protecting the environment by disposing of the
packaging appropriately.
Old appliances are not worthless rubbish! EnvironĆ
mentĆconscious recycling can reclaim valuable raw
materials.
Before disposing of your old appliance, please make
sure that it is unusable, or label it with a sticker stating
Caution: This appliance is defective!"
UpĆtoĆdate information concerning options for
disposing of your old appliance and the packaging
from the new one can be obtained from your retailer
or local municipal office.
q We recommend that you use saucepans and
frying pans with thick flat bases. Uneven bases
increase cooking times.
q Always select a saucepan that is the right size for
the food to be cooked. A large saucepan that is
only halfĆfilled will consume more energy.
q Saucepans and frying pans should always be
covered by a matching lid.
q Using a saucepan base that is the same size as
the hotplate ensures the optimum transfer of heat.
When purchasing saucepans, check that the
manufacturer frequently specifies the top diameter
of the pan rim. Generally, this value is greater than
the diameter of the pan base.
q Switch back to a lower heat setting at the
appropriate time.
