Responsible disposal
At the end of its working life, do not throw this appliance out with your
household rubbish. Electrical and electronic products contain substances
that can have a detrimental effect on the environment and human health
if disposed of inappropriately. Observe any local regulations regarding the
disposal of electrical consumer goods and dispose of it appropriately for
recycling. Contact your local authorities for advice on recycling facilities in
your area.
Energy-saving tips
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also helps the
environment. This electric oven makes it easy to save energy.
• Use appropriate pots and pans for cooking. Pans that match the size of the
hotplate and have thick, flat bases are more energy efficient than ill-fitting
ones. A saucepan should never be smaller than a hotplate.
• If possible, cover pans during cooking to save energy.
• Ensure your hotplates and pan bases are clean. Dirt and burnt on food can
prevent heat transfer, and repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often only be
removed with harsh products.
• Do not uncover the pan too often, and do not open the oven door
unnecessarily.
• Switch off the oven in good time and make use of residual heat. For long
cooking times, switch off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before finishing
cooking to save energy.
• Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes. Meat of up to 1kg can be
prepared more economically in a pan on the oven burner.
• Make use of residual heat from the oven. If the cooking time is longer than
40 minutes, it is recommended to switch off the oven 10 minutes before
the end time. Keep this in mind when using the timer.
• Make sure the oven door is properly closed. Heat can leak through
spillages on the door seals, so clean up any spillages immediately.
• Do not install the oven in the direct vicinity of a refrigerator or freezer, which
would increase the oven’s energy consumption unnecessarily.
