Cooking programmes
- Remove all accessories from the
oven compartment that are not re-
quired for cooking.
- In general, if a range of temperatures
is given in a recipe or chart, it is best
to select the lower temperature and
to check the food after the shortest
duration.
- Preheat the oven compartment only if
instructed to do so in the recipe or
the cooking chart.
- If possible, do not open the door dur-
ing a programme.
- Dark, matt tins are best for baking.
They absorb the heat more effectively
and transmit it to the mixture more
quickly. Shiny materials such as
stainless steel or aluminium reflect
the heat and therefore can give a
more uneven result. Do not cover the
oven floor or the rack with heat-re-
flecting aluminium foil.
- Monitor cooking durations to avoid
wasting energy when cooking.
Set the cooking duration, or use a
food probe if you have one.
- The Fan plus function can be used
for cooking many types of food. Be-
cause the fan distributes the heat in
the oven compartment straight away,
it allows you to use a lower temperat-
ure than you would with Conventional
heat. It also enables you to cook on
multiple shelf levels at the same time.
- Fan grillis the best function for grilled
dishes. With this function you can
use lower temperatures than in other
grill functions which use the max-
imum temperature setting.
- The Eco Fan heatfunction ensures en-
ergy-efficient cooking thanks to op-
timal utilisation of heat. Use this func-
tion for sweet and savoury bakes and
gratins. Do not open the door during
the cooking programme.
- You can use the Eco Steam cooking
function to save energy during steam
cooking. This function is particularly
suitable for cooking fish and veget-
ables.
- Whenever possible you should cook
multiple foods at the same time.
Place them next to each other in the
oven or on different shelf levels.
- Foods which you are unable to cook
at the same time should, if possible,
be cooked one after the other in or-
der to make use of existing heat in
the oven.
