Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your
appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:
Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in
the oven since the heat transmission will be better.
While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating
operation if it is advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
Do not open the door of the oven frequently during
cooking.
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the
same time whenever possible. You can cook by
placing two cooking vessels onto the wire shelf.
Cook more than one dish one after another. The

You can save energy by switching off your oven a
few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do
not open the oven door.
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
