Power regulation
Heating power of the hotplates may be set at nine different levels.
The following chart indicates illustrative use of each power setting.
Energy saving tips
When buying cookware be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge of the dish, which is often
larger than the dish bottom.
Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially economic, and save
both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins in food.
Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating which may damage both the
pot and the hotplate.
Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.
Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared. If you use excessively large pot for small
amount of food, you will consume considerably more energy.
