Environmental protection en
7 Environmental protection
Environmentalprotecti on In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
▯Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
▯The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers
usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan,
which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan
base.
▯Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
▯Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered.
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally
responsible manner.
f Induction cooking
Inducti oncooking Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯Saves energy.
▯Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯Cookware made from cast iron
▯Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section on
~"Cookware check".
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect the cookware, try
placing the cookware on another hotplate with a smaller
diameter.
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here ~"Flex function"
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.

en Induction cooking
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
▯The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
▯common thin steel
▯glass
▯earthenware
▯copper
▯aluminium
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size,
the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will
flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the
flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the
hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on
the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch
the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled
down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.

Chef's recommendations
Recommendations
▯When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
▯Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
▯When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid
and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape
for a good cooking result.
▯After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until
you serve the food.
▯To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
▯Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the
nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used
to set the optimum cooking time.
▯For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil
should be avoided.
▯To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
▯Cookware may reach high temperatures while the
food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven
gloves.
