Energy saving tips

Cooking programmes
– If possible, use the automatic
programmes for cooking food.
– Remove all accessories from the
oven compartment that are not
required for cooking.
– 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.
– Preheat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
– If possible, do not open the door
during a cooking programme. If the
door is opened during a cooking
programme, the heat in the oven
automatically switches off. The fan
continues to operate. As soon as the
door is closed again, the cooking
programme will continue.
If the door is opened during an
M Chef programme, the supply of
Gourmet units is interrupted until the
door is closed again.
– Use dark, matt baking tins 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 wire rack with heat-
reflecting aluminium foil.

– It is best to use metal baking tins if
possible. Bakeware made from
silicone, glass or ceramic may
prevent the underside browning
sufficiently.
– Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.
Set the cooking duration or use a
food probe.
– Most food can be cooked using the
M Chef + Fan plus
functions. Since the fan distributes
the heat in the oven compartment
straight away, it allows you to use a
lower temperature than you would
with M Chef + Conventional heat
Conventional heat
The Fan plus  function also
enables you to cook on multiple shelf
levels at the same time.
–
M Chef + Fan grill
are the best functions for grilled
dishes. With these functions, you can
use lower temperatures than in other
grill functions which use the
maximum temperature setting.
– Foods 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.
