Environmental protection
In this section, you can find information about saving energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving tips
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking without a lid, considerably more energy is required. A glass lid means that you can see inside without having to lift the lid.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of pot and pan bases should be the same size as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Always cover as large an area of the hotplate as possible with your saucepan.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
- Select a suitable ongoing cooking setting. You will waste energy by using an ongoing cooking setting which is too high.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Notes
Any dark areas in the glow pattern of the hotplate are due to technical reasons. The function of the hotplate is not affected.
Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest setting.
This ensures e.g.:
- sensitive components are protected from overheating
- the appliance is protected from electrical overload
-
better cooking results are achieved
-
With multi-circuit hotplates the heater elements of the inner filament circuits and the heater element of the activations may switch on and off at different times.
Residual heat indicator
