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 gas hob

■

Always use a saucepan which is the correct size for your
food. A larger, less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.

■

Always place a suitable lid on the saucepan.

■

The gas flame must always be in contact with the base of the
saucepan.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

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 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 tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes
and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the
amount and composition of the mixture. This is why
temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the
lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in
more even browning. You can increase the temperature next
time if necessary.

If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10
minutes.
