- As far as possible, always prepare the food in pots and pans with lids to avoid
unnecessary heat consumption.
- Choose a small pot for small quantities. A small pot uses less energy than a larger,
underfilled pot.
- Cook with as little water as possible.
- Lower the heat level as soon as possible after
boiling or browning.
- Use a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time

Cooking processes
- Take all the accessories that are not needed in the cooking process out of the oven.
- Choose the lowest temperature specified in the recipe and control the food after the
shortest specified time period.
- Preheat the oven only when necessary according to the recipe.
- Avoid opening the oven as far as possible during the cooking process.
- Preferably use matte, dark baking molds and dishes made of non-reflective materials
(enamelled steel, heat resistant glass, coated aluminum / cast iron). Shiny materials like
stainless steel or aluminum reflect heat away from the food. Also, do not place the heat-
reflecting stanniol at the bottom of the oven or on the racks.
- Monitor the cooking time to avoid wasting energy when preparing the food. Set a required
cooking time, or use a roasting thermometer if available.
- Hot air Plus is a heating form that can be used for preparing many dishes at lower
temperatures than with other heating forms.
With over-under heat the heat is immediately distributed throughout the oven volume and
thus, many dishes can be evenly prepared on several levels at the same time.
- ECO hot air is an innovative form of heating,
that is especially suitable for small quantities, e.g. deep-frozen pizzas, bread or cookies, but
also for meat dishes and roasts. This heating form saves up to 30% of energy if compared
to regular heating forms, and thus it guarantees an energy-efficient cooking experience with
optimal heat utilization. Avoid opening the oven during the cooking process.
- Use the Grill with ventilation heating form for grill dishes as far as possible. This utilizes
lower temperatures
than other grill heating forms.
- If possible, prepare several dishes at the same time.
Place them side by side or on different oven racks.
- Dishes that cannot be prepared simultaneously should be prepared right after each other
to utilize the heat in the oven as much as possible.
