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.
Saving energy
■
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 you are
cooking, baking or roasting.
■
It is best to bake several cakes 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.
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, note the
following: Bake cakes in tins and on a tray at shelf height 1.
Baking on two or more levels
Use
:
3D hot air.
Baking on 2 levels:
■
Baking tray in shelf position 3
■
Universal pan in shelf position 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 well-known dishes.
2 small, round cake tins on one level should be placed
diagonally on the wire rack.
For 4 small, round cake tins, place 2 diagonally on each wire
rack. Slide in the wire racks one on top another, one on each
level.
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 consistency of the mixture. This is why temperature
ranges are given in the tables. You should try the lower
temperature first, since a lower temperature allows more even
browning. You can increase the temperature next time if
necessary.
More information can be found in the “Baking tips” section
which follows the tables.
