Environmentally-friendly use of the oven
Energy-saving tips:
•
Remove any accessories not in use from
the oven.
•
Use oven-proof dishes, preferably dark
coloured.
•
Open the oven door as little as possible
during cooking.
•
Avoid preheating the oven while empty.
When ever the recipe allows, place the
food in the cold oven.
•
If your oven has an ECO function, use
this function whenever the recipe allows.
•
For recipes with long cooking times,
switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before
the end of the total cooking time to make
use of the residual heat.
•
If your oven has fan features, cook
multiple dishes at once.
Conventional Functions
Cooking functions vary between models. The
tables provided show the key cooking times.
The times and temperatures shown in the
chart
are given as a guide. It is advisable to
start with the lowest figures and increase as
necessary.
Always use the lower end of the range given
in the tables.
In general, the times shown on the Tables
are calculated for placing food in a cold oven.
Recipes requiring the oven to be pre-heated
will expressly mention this.
Some models come with a Rapid Pre-heating
function. This function reduces the cooking
time in relation to figures given in the Tables.
When using this function, wait until the
selected temperature has been reached
before placing the food in the oven.
The shelf levels for cooking are as follows
(from the bottom):
1: Low.
2/3: Medium.
4: High
Level 4 is suitable for grilling and toasting.
Place the food in the centre of the shelf or
rack for the most even result possible.
