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.

Risk of serious damage to health!
The appliance will become very hot during
the Self-cleaning cycle. The non-stick
coating on baking trays and tins is
destroyed and noxious gases are released.
Never let non-stick baking trays and tins go
through the Self-cleaning cycle. Only
enamelled accessories may be cleaned at
the same time.
Causes of damage
Caution!
Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
■
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
■
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
■
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
■
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
■
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
■
appliance door will no longer close properly when the
appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
■
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
■
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cooking compartment as far as they will go.
Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
■
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.
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.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the oven off
■
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and use the
residual heat to finish cooking.
