3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible

and can be recycled.

▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose of

them separately.

3.2 Saving energy when using the oven

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less

energy.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the

recommended settings tell you to do so.

aNot preheating the appliance can reduce the energy

used.

Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.

aThese types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly

well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during

operation.

aThis will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity

and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or at

the same time.

aThe oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish.

This reduces the baking time for the second dish.

If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the

appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.

aThere will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the

dish.

en-us Environmental protection and energy-saving

12

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the

oven cavity.

aAn extra pan without food affects the browning and

cooking.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

aThis will save the energy that would otherwise be

required to defrost it.

3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less

energy.

Select a cookware diameter that matches the burner.

Center the cookware on the burner.

Tip:Cookware manufacturers usually state the top

diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware

base is usually smaller.

aThe energy is targeted at the cookware.

If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted.

If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to

heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

aCooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

aIf you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

aIf you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware

without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

aCurved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you

want to cook.

aCookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

aMore water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a

suitable power level to continue cooking.

aFor ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

The temperature indicator shows the

progress of pre-heat in the oven cavity.

When all bars are filled, the optimal

time for placing the food in the oven

has been reached. In the broiling and

cleaning settings, the bars are all

already filled at the start. The bars are

not filled for the gentle top/bottom

heating type.

Residual heat

indicator

When the appliance is switched off, the

Burner cap and burner base placement

After electrical connection is complete, place each burner

base on the corresponding location on the cooktop.

One of the three bars on the burner base should line up

with the notch and prevent the base from rotating. The

small hole or cutout near the edge should also line up with

the igniter. Pay special attention to avoid damaging the

igniter during installation of the base. See Illustration

below.

Once each base is located and resting evenly, place each

burner cap on its correct burner base. See Illustration.

Note:Do not swap burner caps. These will affect the

stability of the flame and make the burner impossible or

difficult to light. The smallest burner cap marked "DUAL" is

to be used exclusively on the Dual-flame burner. Do not

put it on the small burner.

Familiarizing yourself with your appliance en-us

15

Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs

of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner

cap.

If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for

example to check electrical or gas connection) the

panhead screws that were removed must be re-installed to

ensure proper functionality of burners.
