Environmental protection and saving energy 3 Environmental protection and saving energy 3.1 Disposing of packaging Lift lids as infrequently as possible. Ў When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes. The packaging materials are environmentally compat- ible and can be recycled.
▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately. Use a glass lid. without having to lift it. Use pots and pans with flat bases. Ў You can see into the pan through a glass lid 3.2 Saving energy If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Select the cooking zone to match the size of your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob. Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia- meter as the hotplate. Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter. Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. Ў Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Ў Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up. Cook with only a little water. the more energy is required to heat it up. Turn down to a lower power level early on. Ў The more water that is contained in the cookware, you will waste energy. Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

Suitable cookware 4 Suitable cookware Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by a magnet. The base must also match the size of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next smallest diameter. 4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware To be able correctly detect the cookware, you must take the size and the material of the cookware into con- sideration. All cookware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth. Use Cookware test to check whether the cookware is suitable. Refer to → "Cookware test", Page 14 for more details.
Cookware Materials Properties Recommended cook- ware Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well. This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily. Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected. Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. 5
