Energy-saving and environmental protection tips
In this chapter we offer you some advice about how to save
energy when baking or roasting and how to properly dispose of
the appliance.
Saving energy
Preheat the oven only if this is required by a recipe or is
■
indicated in the tables.
Use dark, lacquered or black enamel baking tins. These are
■
more efficient at absorbing heat.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking, baking and
■
roasting cycles.
Tested for you in our cooking studio
Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for
them. We will show you which type of heating and which
temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find
information about suitable accessories and the height at which
they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware
and preparation methods.
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.
Cakes and pastries
Baking on one level
The best results are obtained with the upper and lower heat
when baking cakes.
When baking using the hot air function
are recommended for the accessories:
Cakes in moulds: level 2
■
Cakes on the tray: level 3
■
Baking at different levels
Using the hot air mode

Baking on two levels:
Enamel baking tray: level 3
■
Aluminium tray: level 1

.
When baking several cakes, these should be preferably
■
baked one after the other. The oven will still be hot, thereby
reducing the cooking time for the second cake. Two
rectangular baking tins can be placed side-by-side.
For long cooking times, the oven may be turned off
■
10 minutes prior to the specified time, allowing the item to
continue to cook but taking advantage of the oven's residual
heat.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
Dispose of packaging with the environment in mind.
This appliance is identified according to the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE
2002/96/EC. This directive defines the framework for
the recycling and reuse of appliances used in EU
territory.
Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily
ready at the same time.
The tables contain a number of tips for each dish.
If 3 rectangular moulds are used at the same time, place on the
shelf as shown in the picture.
Baking tins
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins
made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not
brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and
recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone
baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of
mixture and recipe instructions may differ.

Tables
The table shows the optimum heating methods for each type of
cake or dessert. The temperature and cooking time will depend
on the amount and the consistency of the dough. For this
reason the cooking tables always provide approximate cooking
times. Always begin by trying the lowest value. The items will be
more evenly browned at a lower temperature. If necessary, this
can be increased next time.
If the oven is preheated, cooking times are reduced by 5 to 10
minutes.
Additional information is provided in the Tips for baking section
as an appendix to the tables.
To bake a cake only on one level, place the mould on the
enamel tray.
