Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
t e c t i o n E n v i r o n m e n t a l p r o
you can find tips on how to save even more energy
when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your
appliance properly.

Saving energy with your oven

Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe
■
or in the operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins.
■
They absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible
■
while cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the
■
other. The oven is still warm. This reduces the
baking time for the second cake. You can also place
two loaf tins next to each other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven
■
off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time
and use the residual heat to finish cooking.

Saving energy with the hob

Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven
■
bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of pan bases should be the same size
■
as the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the
hotplate cause energy losses. Note that cookware
manufacturers often indicate the upper diameter of
the saucepan. This is usually bigger than the
diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
■
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When
■
cooking without a lid, four times the energy is
required.
Cook with only a little water. This will save energy.
■
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.
■
Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you
■
can switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time.

manner.
