en Environmental protection and saving energy

3  Environmental protection and saving energy

Help protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of reusable materials properly.

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compat­ible and can be recycled.
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.
Information about current disposal methods are available from your specialist dealer or local author­ity.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom­mended settings tell you to do so.
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
¡
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
¡
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
This will maintain the temperature in the cooking
¡
compartment and eliminate the need for the appli­ance to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or in parallel.
The cooking compartment is heated after baking
¡
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time ends.
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
¡
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
Accessories that are not being used do not need to
¡
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
This will save the energy that would otherwise be
¡
required to defrost it.

24  How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have perfectly tailored these recommendations to your appliance.

24.1 Cooking tips

Observe this information when preparing food. ¡ The temperature and cooking time depend on the
amount of food and the recipe. Settings ranges are specified for this reason. Try using the lower values to start with.
¡ The setting values apply to food placed in the cook-
ing compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not slide the accessory into the cook­ing compartment until it has finished preheating.
¡ Remove any accessories that are not being used
from the cooking compartment.
Note:During operation with steam assistance, it is de­sirable that there is a significant build-up of steam in the cooking compartment. Once the cooking compartment has cooled after cook­ing, wipe the cooking compartment clean.

en How it works
Notes
¡ When baking on several layers, always use hot air.
Baked goods that are placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
¡ Position baking tins/dishes either next to one an-
other or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking com­partment.
¡ For best results, we recommend using dark-col-
oured metal bakeware.
¡ Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one level.

24.3 Notes on roasting and grilling

The setting values are based on the assumption that unstuffed, chilled, ready-to-roast poultry, meat or fish is placed into a cold cooking compartment. ¡ The larger the poultry, meat or fish, the lower the
cooking temperature and the longer the cooking time.
¡ Turn the poultry, meat or fish after approx. 1/2 to
2/3 of the time listed.
¡ Add a little liquid to the poultry in the cookware.
Cover the bottom of the cookware with approx.1– 2cm of liquid.
¡ When you turn poultry, ensure that the breast side
or skin side is underneath to begin with.
¡ Cooking time calculation (e.g. 20+35): To calculate
the cooking time, assume 20 minutes per 500g of meat plus an extra 35minutes. For 1.5kg, the cooking time is then 95 minutes.
¡ Cooking time range (e.g. 10–15): Your food will be
ready within the specified range of time.
Steam-assisted roasting and braising
¡ Dishes with steam-assisted cooking and a long
cooking time may empty the water tank. If neces­sary, refill the water tank.
¡ You do not need to turn the meat or fish.

Roasting and grilling on the wire rack

Roasting on the wire rack works particularly well for large poultry or for multiple pieces at the same time.
¡ Depending on the size and type of the food to be
roasted, add up to 1/2litre water to the universal pan. You can make a sauce from the juices that are caught. This also means that less smoke is pro­duced and the cooking compartment becomes less dirty.
¡ Keep the appliance door closed when using the
grill. Never grill with the appliance door open.
¡ Place the food to be grilled on the wire rack. In ad-
dition, slide the universal pan in at least one shelf position lower, with the slanted edge facing the ap­pliance door. This means that any dripping fat is caught.

Roasting in cookware

When preparing food in cookware with a lid, the cook­ing compartment remains cleaner. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your roasting dishes. Glass cookware is best.
Cookware without lid
¡ Use a deep roasting dish. ¡ Place the cookware onto the wire rack. ¡ If you do not have any suitable cookware, use the
universal pan.
Cookware with lid
¡ Place the cookware onto the wire rack. ¡ Meat, poultry and fish can also become crispy in a
covered roasting dish. Use a roasting dish with a glass lid. Set a higher temperature.
WARNING‒Risk of injury!
If hot glass cookware is placed on a wet or cold sur­face, the glass may shatter.
Place hot glass ovenware on a dry mat after cook­ing.
WARNING‒Risk of scalding!
Very hot steam may escape when the lid is opened after cooking. Steam may not be visible, depending on the temperature.
Lift the lid at the rear, so that the hot steam can es­cape away from you.
Keep children at a safe distance.
