Tips for reducing energy consumption
and increasing efficiency
Some tips follow below for making your appliance
even more energy-efficient and efficient.
− Choose a cooking zone that matches the size of
the pan. The bottom of the pan should cover the
cooking zone as much as possible.
− Make sure the pan is always in the centre of the
cooking zone.
− Use cookware with a base diameter that matches
the diameter of the cooking zone.
− Place lids on pans. This prevents unnecessary
heat escaping and reduces cooking fumes and
condensation.
− Use pans with flat bottoms. A pan with a non-flat
bottom consumes more energy.
− Use cookware that matches the amount of food.
A small pan requires less energy than a large, not-
quite-full pan.
− Use as little water as possible. The more water in
the pan, the more energy is needed to heat it up.
− After boiling or frying, switch back to a lower power
setting in time to reduce energy consumption and
to limit overproduction of vapours.
