• General hints
– Make sure that the oven door is
closed properly when the
appliance operates and keep it
closed as much as possible during
the cooking.
– Use metal dishes to improve the
energy saving.
– When possible, put the food
inside the oven without heating it
up.
– When the cooking duration is
longer than 30 minutes, reduce
the oven temperature to
minimum, 3 - 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking time,
depending on the duration of the
cooking. The residual heat inside
the oven will continue to cook.
– Use the residual heat to warm up
other foods.
• Residual heat
– In some heating functions if a
programme with time selection
(Duration, End Time) is activated
and the cooking time is longer
than 30 minutes, the heating
elements deactivate automatically
10% earlier.
• Cooking with the lamp off -
deactivate the lamp during the
cooking and activate only when you
need it.
• Keep food warm - if you want to use
the residual heat to keep the meal
warm, choose the lowest possible
temperature setting. The display
shows the residual heat temperature.
