Energy-Saving Tips - Miele DGC 7840 Operating And Installation Instructions

Cooking programs
- Remove all accessories from the
oven that are not required for a cook-
ing program.
- If a temperature range is given, it is
best to select the lower temperature
and check the food after the shortest
cooking time given.
- Preheat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking
chart.
- Try not to open the door when cook-
ing.
- Dark, matte tins are best for baking.
They absorb the heat more effectively
and transmit it to the mixture more
quickly. Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminum reflect the
heat and therefore can give a more
uneven result. Do not cover the oven
floor or the wire rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminum foil.
- Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
- Most food can be cooked using

- Whenever possible you should cook
several dishes at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
- Dishes which you are unable to pre-
pare at the same time should, if pos-
sible, be cooked one after the other
in order to make use of existing heat
in the oven.
