Tips for saving energy
– Preheat the oven only if it is called for in the
recipe or stipulated in the cooking tables
provided.
– Use dark-coloured baking dishes and trays
when possible. They effectively absorb the
heat.
– Avoid frequently opening the oven door
during cooking, baking or roasting.
– Bake several cakes one after the oth-
er while the oven is still warm in order to
shorten the baking time for subsequent
cakes. If you use loaf tins, place both of
them side by side in the oven.
– In the case of longer cooking times, switch
the oven off 10 minutes before the end of
the cooking time. The residual heat is suffi-
cient enough to complete the cooking.
– When cooking, always leave the lid on the
saucepan wherever possible. Liquids can
be brought to the boil more quickly with the
lid on than without.
– Only ever use high-quality, new sauce-
pans and pans. They lie flat on the hob
and therefore conduct energy more easi-
ly than cookware with a warped or dented
base (please note in the chapter “The right
cookware”).
– Turn the level down quickly and continue to
cook at the lowest possible setting.
– Always use pressure cooking saucepans
whenever possible. This will halve the
cooking process and you will save a lot of
energy.
– Only use as much water as you really need
to cook the food. A lot of energy is required
to warm up water.
Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmentally
friendly manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old electrical ap-
pliances at an authorised collection or return
point. They will thus be made available for
environmentally-sound, resource-saving re-
cycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
