Energy-saving advice

▯

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking 
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid 
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

▯

Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use 
a lot more energy.

▯

The diameter of the pan base must match the size 
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers 
usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, 
which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan 
base.

▯

Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large 
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.

▯

Use little water when cooking. This saves energy 
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in 
vegetables.

▯

Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If 
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly 
manner.

Induction cooking

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional 
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item 
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages: 

▯

Saves time when boiling and frying.

▯

Saves energy.

▯

Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not 
burn on as quickly.

▯

Heat control and safety – the hob increases or 
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user 
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops 
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed 
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off 
first. 

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, 
such as:

▯

Cookware made from enamelled steel

▯

Cookware made from cast iron

▯

Special induction-compatible cookware made from 
stainless steel. 

To check whether your cookware is suitable for 
induction cooking, refer to the section entitled 

~

 "Cookware test"

.

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic 
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the 
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of 
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a 
smaller diameter.

If the only hotplate being used is the Flex cooking zone, 
larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone 
can be used. You can find further information on 
positioning the cookware in the section entitled 

~

 "Flexible cooking zone"

.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with 
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning

(waste electrical and electronic equipment - 
WEEE). The guideline determines the 
framework for the return and recycling of used
