3 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.

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 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

16 How it works

Here, you can find the ideal settings for various types of food as well as the best accessories and cookware. These recommendations are perfectly tailored to your appliance. Detailed baking tables for your appliance and tips for baking with your appliance can be found in the instructions on the Internet: www .bosch-home.com

16.1 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. Select the lower value first.
• The setting values apply to food placed in the cooking compartment while the cooking compartment is still cold. Do not place accessories into the cooking compartment until it has finished preheating.
• Remove any accessories that are not being used from the cooking compartment.
• Ensure that the accessory slides in the right way round.

16.2 Notes on baking

When baking, use the shelf positions indicated.

Note s

• When baking on several layers, use hot air. Different food that is placed in the oven at the same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time. In such cases, you can remove the cooked food and continue to cook the other baking tray. If necessary, you can change the position and direction of the baking trays.
• Position baking tins/dishes either next to one another or offset on different shelves so that they are not directly one above the other in the cooking compartment. You can cut energy use by cooking different items at the same time.
• For best results, we recommend using dark-coloured metal baking tins.

16.3 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.
