Bosch 8 Series User Manual And Installation Instructions

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

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.

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 maintains the temperature in the cooking com-

partment and eliminates the need for the appliance

to reheat.

4 Familiarising yourself with your appliance

4.1 Control panel

You can use the control panel to configure all functions

of your appliance and to obtain information about the

operating status.

Note: On certain models, specific details such as col-

our and shape may differ from those pictured.

Environmental protection and saving energy en

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 saves the energy that would otherwise be re-

quired to defrost it.

Note:

The appliance requires:

¡ A maximum of 1 W when the appliance is in opera-

tion with the display switched on

¡ A maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in oper-

ation with the display switched off
