The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are placed on a hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. For longer cooking times, you can switch the hotplate off as early as 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. ■ Environmental protection This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE – waste electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable. ■ ■ Tips for saving energy ■ ■ ■ Always use a correctly fitting lid for the pan.
