Using cookware with unlevel bases increases energy consumption. The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan. Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A large saucepan containing little food requires more energy.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. ■ Environmental protection This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE – waste electrical and electronic equipment).
