Helpful Hints; Saving Of Energy - GERATEK Catania EH5102 Bedienungsanleitung

3.6 Helpful hints

 We recommend to use the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance.
 It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else. For
baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and
shorten the baking time.
 Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using
the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters).The use of such tins
can result in under-cooking the base of cakes.
 Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden
stick (when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after
having been inserted in the cake).
 When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
 Cook meat with a weight of more than 1 kg in the oven. Cook smaller pieces of
food on the hob.
 Use oven-proof cookware only. Check that their handles also are oven-proof.
 When you cook meat on a grillage, insert a drip tray with a small amount of
water in the oven (minimum rack height).
 Turn over meat at least once.
 Never pour cold water on the meat.

3.7 Saving of energy

 Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
 Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
 Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
 Meat of up to 1kg can be cooked more economically in a pan on the hob.
 lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes
before.
 Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
 Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages
immediately.
 Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.
