Energy and environment tips
Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and
roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
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.
■
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.
Eco hot air function
Using the eco ‘ hot air function, significant energy savings
can be made cooking dishes on one level. The cooking, baking
and roasting cycles do not require preheating.
Notes
■
So that the energy-saving function works efficiently, the dish
should be placed in a cold and empty oven.
■
During the roasting cycle, the oven door should only be
opened whenever really necessary, for example, to turn food
over. In the chapter “Tables and suggestions“, there are
advice and suggestions on baking and roasting.
Table
The following table shows the selection of dishes suitable for
the energy-saving function. The table gives details of suitable
temperature settings, accessories and heights for each dish.
The temperature and the cooking time can change depending
on quantity, condition and the quality of food. Thus, the values
given in the table are approximate. We recommend beginning
with the lowest value. Items will be more evenly browned at a
lower temperature. If the result is not as expected, use a higher
temperature setting next time.
