How to Save Energy

Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let's save energy! And this is how you can do it:

• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!). Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
• Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes. Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
• Make use of residual heat from the oven. If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before the end time.
• Important! When using the timer, set appropriately shorter cooking times according to the dish being prepared.
• Make sure the oven door is properly closed. Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
• Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

Baking in the Oven – Practical Hints

Baking

• Recommend using provided baking trays.
• Cake tins and trays can be used on the drying rack; black trays conduct heat better and shorten baking time.
• Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended for conventional heating (top and bottom heaters) as they can result in undercooking the base of cakes.
• For ultra-fan function, preheating the oven chamber is not necessary; for other heating types, warm up the chamber before inserting the cake.
• Check cake readiness with a wooden stick (it should come out dry and clean).
• After switching off, leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
• Temperatures for ultra-fan function are usually 20–30 degrees lower than for normal baking (top and bottom heaters).
• Baking parameters are approximate and can be adjusted based on experience and preferences.
• If recipe book information differs from this manual, follow the manual's instructions.

Roasting Meat

• Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven; smaller pieces on gas burners.
• Use heatproof ovenware with handles resistant to high temperatures.
• When roasting on the drying rack or grate, place a baking tray with a small amount of water on the lowest oven level.
• Turn meat over at least once during roasting and baste with juices or hot salty water. Do not pour cold water over the meat.

Baking in the Oven – ECO Fan Assisted Heating

ECO fan assisted heating is an optimised function designed to save energy. Cooking time cannot be reduced by setting a higher temperature; preheating is not recommended. Do not change temperature settings or open the oven door during cooking.
