How to save energy

q This appliance complies with all regulations for
heating appliances. The switches and oven handle
may become hot when the appliance is operated
at a high temperature for a long period of time.
q This appliance must be used for the preparation of
food only.
q Never place a baking tray or aluminium foil on the
oven cavity floor, as this would result in the oven
heat being trapped. The baking and roasting times
would no longer be maintained and the enamel
could be damaged.
q Never pour water into the hot oven. It could da
mage the enamel.
q Fruit juices that drip from the baking tray will leave
stubborn stains that will not be removable. When
cooking soft fruit cakes, it is best to use the deeper
universal pan.
q Do not sit or stand on the opened oven door.
q The oven door must always close properly. Keep
the door seal areas clean.
q The oven should only be preheated if recommen
ded in the cooking instructions or the applications
table in the instruction manual.
q Use dark, black finish or enamelled baking tins, as
these are particularly good conductors of heat.
q When baking several cakes, it is best to bake them
one after the other. The oven will still be warm,
meaning that the baking time for the second cake
will be reduced. It is also possible to bake two ca
kes (cake tins) next to each other.
q For long cooking times, it is possible to switch off
the oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and thus use the residual heat to finish off the
cooking.
