hOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
burner crown.
Always remember to cover and pans.
Ensure burners, the grate the hob are
clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt-on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
In particular, ensure that flame openings in
the rings under caps, and openings of burner
nozzles are clean.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker burner.
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
it is recommended to switch off the oven 10
minutes before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.
