Y our new appliance is particularly energy-efficient.
E n v i r o n m e n t a l p r o t e c t i o n
Here 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
Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
■
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
Leave frozen food to defrost before placing it in the
■
cooking compartment.
Use baking tins that are dark-coloured, painted black
■
or have an enamel coating. These absorb the heat
particularly well.
Remove any unnecessary accessories from the
■
cooking compartment.

Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
■
when the appliance is in use.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
■
The cooking compartment stays warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the
■
appliance 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.
