Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting in the oven and when cooking on the hob, 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.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for
them. We will show you which type of heating and which
temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find
information about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware
and preparation methods.
Notes
The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the
■
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you
should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will
■
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
■
obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or
from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories
and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or
■
ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Saving energy with the gas hob

Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for your
■
food. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.
■
The gas flame must always be in contact with the base of the
■
saucepan.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
This appliance complies with European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). The directive gives a framework for
the collection and recycling of old appliances, which is
valid across the EU.
