Saving energy with the hob

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

increase energy consumption.

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

hotplate. In particular, small saucepans on the hotplate cause

energy losses. Note that 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.

Use the residual heat. For longer cooking times, you can

switch the hotplate off 5-10 minutes before the end of the

cooking 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.

Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be

obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or

from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories

and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or

ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Cakes and pastries

%

Top/bottom heating.
When baking with

:

3D hot air, use the following shelf heights

for the accessory:

Cakes in tins: level 2

Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will

not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The tables show numerous suggestions for your dishes.

If you are baking with 3 cake/loaf tins at the same time, place

these on the wire racks as indicated in the picture.

Baking tins
It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins

made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not

brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and

recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone

baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of

mixture and recipe instructions may differ.

Tables
The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes

and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the

amount and composition of the mixture. This is why

temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the

lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in

more even browning. You can increase the temperature next

time if necessary.
If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10

minutes.
Additional information can be found in the Baking tips section

following the tables.
