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.
