Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use cookware with flat bottoms that match the size of the cooking surface to ensure even heating and efficient energy use.
- Always keep the bottoms of your pots and pans clean and dry to prevent residue from reducing the cooktop's efficiency.
- Take advantage of the cooktop's heat settings by using medium or low settings whenever possible to maintain slow cooking processes or to simmer.
- Avoid using high heat settings when not necessary, as this can cause excess energy use without improving cooking results.
- Regularly clean the cooktop with mild soap and water to maintain its efficiency and avoid buildup that can impede performance.
- Proper Installation: Ensure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
- Avoid Storage Above Cooktop: Do not store items in cabinets above the cooktop to prevent children from injuring themselves by climbing.
- Never Leave Cooktop Unattended: Especially at high heat settings, as boilovers can cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
- Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires: Instead, smother the fire or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
- Ensure Cooktop is Not Used for Heating: Never use your cooktop to warm or heat the room, as it can lead to hazardous situations.
