Environmental protection and saving energy
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.x
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy. Only
preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do
so.
-
Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used by up to 20%. Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking tins.
-
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particularly well. Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.
-
This maintains the temperature in the cooking compartment and eliminates 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 subsequent cakes. For longer cooking times, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.
-
There is sufficient 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 saves the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.
Note:
The appliance requires:
-
Max. 0.5 W when the appliance switched off
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter. -
Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids. -
Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible. -
When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes. Use a glass lid.
-
You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases. -
Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. -
Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water. -
The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on. -
If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.

19.4 Cakes and other baked goods
Recommended settings for cakes and baked items
The temperature and baking time depend on the quantity and consistency of the
dough. This is why temperature ranges are given in the tables. Set a short
cooking time first. If required, set a longer cooking time next time. A lower
temperature results in more even browning.
Baking tips
We have compiled a few tips to help you achieve a good baking result.
Topic | Tip |
---|
You want your cake to
rise evenly.| ¡ Only grease the base of the springform cake tin.
¡ After baking, use a knife to carefully loosen the cake from the baking tin.
You do not want small
baked goods to stick to
each other when baking.| Leave a minimum clearance of 2 cm around each item
that is to be baked. This allows enough space for the baked goods to expand
and brown on all sides.
Determine whether the
cake is ready.| Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If
the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
You want to bake according to your own
recipe.| Use similar items in the baking tables as a guide.
Use bakeware made of
silicone, glass, plastic or
ceramic.| ¡ The baking tin must be heat-resistant up to 250 °C.
¡ Cakes in these types of bakeware brown less.

20.7 Checking the correct burner behaviour
Check the burning and soot formation of each burner after the product has been
converted to a different gas type. If there is a problem, compare the nozzle
values with the values in the table.
Checking the correct burner behaviour of the cooker burner
-
Ignite the gas cooker burners in accordance with the instructions in the operating manual.
-
Set the gas cooker knob to the small flame setting.
Check whether the flame safety system is working by keeping the flame at the “small flame” setting for 1 minute. -
Check that the burners are burning correctly with both large and small flames.
a The flame must burn evenly and steadily. -
Turn the burner knob back and forth quickly between the large flame setting and the small flame setting. Repeat this process several times.
a The gas flame must not flicker or go out.
Checking the correct burner behaviour for the lower oven gas burner
-
Ignite the lower oven gas burner in accordance with the instructions in the operating manual.
→ “Basic operation”, Page 18 -
Open the oven door and observe the flame.
a The flame must burn evenly.
a The flame may fail during the first few minutes. However, the flame must stabilise after a few minutes. -
