Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose
▶
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
When cooking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡ The cooking compartment is heated after cooking
the first dish. This reduces the cooking time for the
following dishes.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Hide the clock in standby mode.
¡ The appliance saves energy in standby mode.

Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food
▶
inside. The only exception to this rule is when per-
forming a short cookware test.
If you prepare several bags of microwave popcorn in
immediate succession at a microwave power level that
is too high, the cooking compartment may be dam-
aged.
Leave the appliance to cool down for several
▶
minutes between each use.
Never set a microwave power level that is too high.
▶
Use a maximum microwave output of 600 watts.
▶
Always place the popcorn bag on a glass plate.
▶
Using unsuitable cookware may result in damage.
When using the grill, the microwave combi mode or
▶
the hot air, only use tableware that can withstand
the high temperatures.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡ This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli-
ance to reheat.
Note:
The appliance requires:
¡ A maximum of 1 W in standby mode with the dis-
play switched on
¡ A maximum of 0.5 W in standby mode with the dis-
play switched off
