Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here
you can find tips on how to save even more energy
when using the appliance, 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 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.
Environmentally-friendly disposal

manner.
