Protecting The Environment; Saving Energy - Bosch HIIP055U Mode D'emploi

Protecting the Environment

Your new appliance is energy-efficient. Here you can find
tips on how to save even more energy when using the
appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance
properly.
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally friendly manner.

Saving Energy

Only preheat the appliance if this is specified in the
▯
recipe or in the tables in the operating instructions.
Use baking tins that are dark-colored, painted black or
▯
have an enamel coating. They absorb the heat
particularly well.
Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
▯
when the appliance is in use.
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
▯
The cooking compartment is still warm. This reduces
the baking time for the second cake. You can place
two cake tins next to each other in the cooking
compartment.
For longer cooking times, you can switch the
▯
appliance off 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking time and use the residual heat to finish
cooking.
Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with
▯
an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in
energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and
avoid having to lift the lid.
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
▯
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
▯
the element. If not, energy may be wasted.
Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's
upper diameter. This is normally greater than the
diameter of the pan's base.
Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of
▯
food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only
half full will use more energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
▯
saves energy and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
Select a lower power level.
▯
When cooking, ensure that there is sufficient supply air
▯
so that the extractor hood works efficiently and quietly.
Fan level adjust to the intensity of the cooking fumes.
▯
Only use the high mode if necessary. A lower fan level
means lower energy consumption.
With intensive cooking fumes, select a higher fan level
▯
early on. Cooking fumes that are already distributed in
the kitchen mean that the extractor hood will have to
be operated longer.
Switch off the extractor hood when it is no longer
▯
required.
Switch off the lighting when it is no longer required.

Clean and change the filter at the specified intervals in
▯
order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation
and prevent a risk of fire.
