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.

If

element,

it

is preferable

to

use

a pan

a

bottom

is

larger in

than

the

element, otherwise

increase

in

energy use.

small amount of

water when

cooking. This will save energy and

the vitamins

vegetables.
