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.
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
When baking cakes, the best results can be achieved using
%
Top/bottom heating.
When baking with
:
3D hot air, use the following shelf heights for
the accessory:
■
Cakes in tins: level 2
■
Cakes on trays: level 3
Baking on two or more levels
Use
:
3D hot air.
Shelf heights for baking on 2 levels:

Shelf heights for baking on 3 levels:
■
Baking tray: level 5
■
Universal pan: level 3
■
Baking tray: level 1
Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will not
necessarily be ready at the same time.
The tables show numerous suggestions for your dishes.
If you are baking with 3 cake/loaf tins at the same time, place
these on the wire racks as indicated 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 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.
