Energy saving tips
ĺ
Remove any accessories that you are
not using from the oven before starting
the cooking process.
ĺ
Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to
do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.
ĺ
Try not to open the door during a cook-
ing process. This will prevent heat from
escaping unnecessarily.
ĺ
In general, if a range of temperatures is
given in a recipe or chart, it is best to
select the lower temperature and check
the food after the shortest duration.
ĺ
Fan Plus
:
For baking and roasting
on different levels at the same time. A
lower temperature can be selected than
with Conventional Heat
.
ĺ
Fan Grill
:
Lower temperatures can
be used than when using the Grill
function.
ĺ
Gentle Bake
:
Energy-efficient bak-
ing with optimal use of heat (see "Over-
view of functions").
ĺ
Reduce energy consumption by utilising
residual heat:
Cooking programmes using tempera-
tures above 140 °C which take longer than
30 minutes:
Turn down to the lowest possible temper-
ature about 5 minutes before the end of
cooking. The cooling fan remains switched
on. Do not switch the oven off completely.
Whenever possible bake several dishes
at the same time or immediately one after
the other.
A catalytic cleaning programme is best
started immediately after a cooking pro-
gramme.
ĺ
Monitoring the cooking time: Whenever
possible set a cooking duration, or use
a roast probe.
ĺ
Use dark coloured baking tins and con-
tainers with a matt finish made from
non-reflective materials. Do not cover
the oven floor or the rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminium foil.
Tips on baking, roasting and
grilling
Baking
Bake on different levels at the same time
using the
Fan Plus
function:
– 1 tray:
Shelf level 2
– 2 trays: Shelf levels 1+2
M)
/
Shelf 3/2+4
XL)
– 3 trays: Shelf levels 1+3+5 (not suita-
ble for moist cakes and tarts)
Roasting
Browning:
Browning only occurs towards the end of
the roasting time. Remove the lid about
halfway through the roasting time if a
more intensive browning result is desired.
Standing time:
At the end of the programme, take the
roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminium
foil and leave to stand for about 10 min-
utes. This helps retain juices when the
meat is carved.
Roasting poultry:
For a crisp skin, baste the poultry 10 min-
utes before the end of the cooking time
with slightly salted water.
Grilling
If the surface of a thicker cut of meat is
browned but the centre is still raw, move
the food to a lower level or reduce the
temperature and continue cooking. This
will stop the surface from becoming too
dark.
