Tips on saving energy

Cooking

￿Remove any accessories from the oven that you do not require for cooking.

￿Pre-heat the oven only if instructed to do so in the recipe or the cooking chart.

￿Avoid opening the door during cooking.

￿In general, if a range of temperatures is given, it is best to select the lower temperature and to check the food after the shortest given time.

￿It is best to use dark baking tins and containers with a matt finish made from non-reflective materials (enamelled steel, oven-proof glassware, non-stick coated cast aluminium). Shiny materials such as stainless steel or aluminium reflect heat, preventing it reaching the food efficiently. Do not cover the oven floor or the rack with heat-reflective aluminium foil.

￿Observe cooking durations to avoid energy wastage when cooking food.

Wherever possible set the cooking duration, or use a food probe.

￿Fan plus ￿ can be used for cooking many types of food. Because the fan distributes the heat to food straight away it allows you to use a lower temperature than you would with Conventional heat ￿. It also enables you to cook on several shelf levels at the same time.

￿Fan grill ￿ can be used for a wide variety of food. With Fan grill you can use lower temperatures than with other grill functions which use the maximum temperature setting.

￿Whenever possible you should cook several dishes at the same time. Place them next to each other in the oven or on different shelf levels.

￿Dishes which you are unable to prepare at the same time should, if possible, be cooked one after the other in order to make use of existing heat in the oven.
