Daewoo DVC-6740 Instruction Manual - How to Save Energy

7

Using energy in a respon-

sible way not only saves 

money but also helps the 

environment. So let’s save 

energy! And this is how you 

can do it:

Use proper pans for cooking.

Pans with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 

on electric energy. Remember to cover pans 

if possible otherwise you will use four times 

as much energy!

Match the size of the saucepan to the 

surface of the heating zone.

A saucepan should never be smaller than a 

heating zone.

Ensure heating zones and pan bases 

are clean.

Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-

edly burnt–on spillages can often only be 

removed by products which cause damage 

to the environment.

Do not uncover the pan too often 

(a watched pot never boils!).

Do not open the oven door unnecessarily 

often.

Switch off the oven in good time and make 

use of residual heat.

For long cooking times, switch off heating 

zones 5 to 10 minutes before finishing cook-

ing. This saves up to 20% on energy.

Only use the oven when cooking larger  

dishes.

Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more 

economically in a pan on the cooker hob.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

Make use of residual heat from the 

oven.

If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes 

switch off the oven 10 minutes before the 

end time.

Important! When using the timer, 

set appropriately shorter cooking 

times according to the dish being 

prepared.

Only grill with the ultrafan after closing 

the oven door.

Make sure the oven door is properly 

closed.

Heat can leak through spillages on the door 

seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.

Do not install the cooker in the direct 

vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.

Otherwise energy consumption increases 

unnecessarily.
