Energy and environment tips

Here you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and 

roasting in the oven and when cooking on the hob, and how to 

dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy with your oven

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 

cooking, baking or roasting.

It is best to bake more than one cake, 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.

Saving energy with the hob

Use pots and pans with thick, even bases. Uneven bases 

increase energy consumption.

The diameter of pot or pan bases should be the same size as 

the hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate 

cause energy losses. Please note: cookware manufacturers 

often indicate the upper diameter of the saucepan. This is 

usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.

Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full 

saucepan requires a lot of energy.

Always place suitable lids on saucepans. When cooking 

without a lid, four times the energy is required.

Cook with only a little water. This will save energy. Vitamins 

and minerals in vegetables are preserved.

Switch to a lower heat setting in good time.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for 

them. We will show you which type of heating and which 

temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find 

information about suitable accessories and the height at which 

they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware 

and preparation methods.

Notes

The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the 

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you 

should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof 

paper until after they have been preheated.

The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will 

depend on the quality and composition of the food.
