Environmentally- friendly disposal of waste products This appliance conforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/ 96/EC. This directive defines the framework for recycling used appliances within European territory Energy-saving advice ¦ Always place the correct lid on the pan. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. ¦ Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption. ¦ The diameter of the pan base must coincide with the diameter of the hotplate. This generally means the pan base diameter is greater than that of the hotplate. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the hotplate, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter than the hotplate, otherwise half the energy will be wasted. Please note: Whether the cookware manufacturer has indicated the diameter of the top of the pan. ¦ Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy. ¦ Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals. ¦ Select a lower power level. Induction cooking Advantages of induction cooking Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages: ¦ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. ¦ Energy is saved. ¦ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. ¦ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power immediately when the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off. Suitable pans Ferromagnetic pans Only ferr...
