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.

■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.

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.

Automatic programmes

The automatic programmes help you to achieve elaborate pot roasts, juicy roasts and delicious stews very easily. You do not have to worry about turning and basting and the cooking compartment remains clean.

The cooking result depends on the quality of the meat and the size and type of ovenware. Use an oven cloth or oven gloves when you take the finished dish out of the cooking compartment. The ovenware will be very hot. Take care when opening the ovenware, as hot steam will escape.

Ovenware

Automatic programmes are only suitable for roasting meat in ovenware with lid, with the exception of browning a ham joint. Only use ovenware with a tightly fitting lid. Also observe the information from the ovenware manufacturer.

Suitable cookware

We recommend heat-resistant cookware (up to 300 °C) made from glass or glass ceramic. Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. Their shiny surface reflects a high proportion of the thermal radiation. The food will not brown as much and the meat will be less well cooked. If you use a stainless-steel roasting dish, remove the lid once the

programme has finished. Grill the meat at grill setting 3 for 8 to 10 minutes more. The dish browns more quickly if you use a roasting dish made of enamelled steel, cast iron or diecast aluminium. Add a little more liquid.

Unsuitable cookware

Cookware made of bright, shiny aluminium, unglazed clay or plastic, and cookware with plastic handles, is not suitable.

Size of the ovenware

The meat should cover about two thirds of the ovenware base. This will ensure that you get good meat juices.

The distance between the meat and the lid must be at least 3 cm. The meat may expand during the roasting process.

Preparing the dish

You can use fresh or frozen meat. We recommend fresh chilled meat.

Select a suitable roasting dish.

Weigh the fresh or frozen meat, poultry or fish. You will find detailed information in the corresponding tables. You need the weight in order to make the setting.
