USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
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 (g. 4). 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 at, thick bottoms (see g. 4). Bottoms that are not at will make cooking times
longer.
• Always put a lid on the pan (g. 4).
• If cooking time is longer than 40 minutes you can switch the plate o 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.
