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.

Expert Cooking Guide

Here you will find a selection of recipes and the ideal settings
for them. We will show you which type of heating and which

You can find information about suitable accessories and the
height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about

Notes
The values in the table always apply to food placed into the
■
cooking compartment when it is cold and empty. Only preheat
the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so.
Before using the appliance, remove all accessories from the
cooking compartment that you will not be using.
Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after
■
they have been preheated.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They will
■
depend on the quality and composition of the food.
Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be
■
obtained from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when taking
■
accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
■
10minutes 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.
This appliance complies with European Directive 2002/ 96/
EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The directive gives a framework for the collection and
recycling of old appliances, which is valid across the EU.
The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may
vary according to the ovenware used, the quality, temperature and
consistency of the food.
Time ranges are often specified in the tables. Set the shortest time
first and then extend the time if necessary.
It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in
the tables. A rule of thumb can be applied: Double amount - just
under double the cooking time, half amount - half the cooking time.
Defrosting
Notes
Place the frozen food in an open container on the lower wire rack.
■
Delicate parts suchas the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer
■
layers of roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminium
foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You
can remove the foil half way through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food onceortwice during the defrosting time. Large
■
pieces of food should be turned several times. When turning,
remove any liquid that has resulted from defrosting.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further
■
10to60 minutes so that the temperature can stabilise. The giblets
can be removed from poultry at this point.
