3 Environmental protection and saving energy

Help protect the environment by using your appliance

in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of

reusable materials properly.

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat-

ible and can be recycled.

Sort the individual components by type and dispose

▶

of them separately.

Information about current disposal methods are

available from your specialist dealer or local author-

ity.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use

less power.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-

mended settings tell you to do so.

¡ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-

ergy used by up to 20%.

Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking

tins.

¡ These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-

larly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during

operation.

¡ This will maintain the temperature in the cooking

compartment and eliminate the need for the appli-

ance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or

in parallel.

¡ The cooking compartment is heated after baking

the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the

second cake.

If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch

the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time

ends.

¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking

the dish.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from

the cooking compartment.

¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to

be heated.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

¡ This will save the energy that would otherwise be

required to defrost it.
