ENERGY GUIDELINES (GB IE ONLY)
Reducing the environmental impact – Electric
Reducing energy consumption will reduce the impact of cooking on the environment.
The following tips can help you to reduce your energy consumption:
z
Do not preheat the oven too early. Aim to have the oven hot at the same time as the
food is ready to be placed in it.
z
Maximise the use of your preheated oven – cook or bake in batches.
z
Minimise the number of times you open the oven door during cooking (to
reduce heat loss).
z
Cook multiple dishes at the same time.
z
Use the residual heat in the oven to finish the cooking process (turn the oven off a few
minutes before the cooking time is up).
z
Use ceramic or glass cooking dishes which may reduce the cooking time or allow you to
reduce the oven temperature.
z
Use fan functions wherever possible. These functions may allow you to reduce cooking
times and/or temperatures. Fan forced functions will allow you to bake on multiple
shelves at the same time.
z
Replace oven seals if they become damaged. A damaged seal will decrease the
efficiency of your oven.
z
Cutting food into smaller pieces will reduce cooking time.
z
Do not use the oven to defrost food.
