Cooker :
- Modern cookers use about 30 per cent less electricity that older ones do.
- Utilize the residual heat from hobs & turn them off in good time while using cookers.
Dishwasher :
- Modern dishwashers save more energy than washing up by hand.
- Do not pre-rinse plates and dishes under running water.
- A tightly closing door prevents any left-on food drying out. An economy programme and less detergent will then be sufficient for getting items clean.
- Don't bother with pre-rinsing programmes, use a short-cycle or economy programme instead.
- Only turn the dishwasher on when it's full. Washing up small quantities by hand is more economical.
- Pay attention to water hardness when deciding how much detergent to use. Regularly top up salt and rinse-aid & regularly clean the strainer.
- Never put Falk, or any, copper cookware in a dishwasher. Such abuse will cause extreme tarnishing and void the warranty.
