Energy-saving advice

DUse pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bottoms incre

energy consumption. Place a ruler against the bottom of the pan. If ther gaps, this means the bottom is completely flat.

D The diameter of			the pan you			are using should be the same as	the di
the element.		Please		note:	If the cookware manufacturer provides the diam
for the	top	of	the	pan,	bear	in mind that this is in most cases	greate
diameter	of	its	bottom.		This is	generally greater than the diameter	of th

the

pan.
