Tips on saving energy

Oven cooking processes
 Remove all accessories from the
oven that are not required for a
cooking process.
 Try not to open the door during
cooking processes.
 In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and
to check the food after the shortest
duration.
 Use dark, matt bakeware and
cooking containers made of non-
reflective materials (enamelled steel,
heat-resistant glass, coated
aluminium). Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat and therefore can give a
more uneven result. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-
reflecting aluminium foil.
 Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.

 Wherever possible set the cooking
duration, or use a food probe.
 Fan plus  can be used for cooking
many types of food. Because the fan
distributes the heat to food straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with
Conventional heat . It also
enables you to cook on several shelf
levels at the same time.
 Gentle bake  is an innovative
function that makes optimum use of
heat. You can save up to 30 %
energy compared to cooking with a
standard oven function as long as the
door is kept shut during cooking.
 Fan grill  can be used for a wide
variety of food. With Fan grill you can
use lower temperatures than with
other grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
 Whenever possible you should cook
several dishes at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
 Dishes which you are unable to cook
at the same time should, if possible,
be cooked one after the other in order
to make use of existing heat in the
oven.
