Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting in the oven and when cooking on the hob, and how to
dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy with your oven

Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe or in
■
the operating instruction tables.
Use dark, black lacquered or enamelled baking tins. They
■
absorb the heat particularly well.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible while
■
cooking, baking or roasting.
It is best to bake more than one cake, one after the other.
■
The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake. You can also place two loaf tins next to each
other.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven 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

Notes
The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the
■
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you
should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof
paper until after they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will
■
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
■
obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or
from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories
and ovenware from the cooking compartment.
Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or
■
ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

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.
■
Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can
■
switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
