Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and
to save energy:
1 Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in the oven since the heat
transmission will be better.
2 While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in the
user manual or cooking instructions.
3 Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking.
4 Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the same time, whenever possible .
You can cook by placing two cooking vessels onto the wire grill.
5 Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot.
6 You can save energy by switching off your oven a few minutes before the cooking
time. Do not open the oven door.
7 Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
Detailed tips for baking and grilling
How to avoid problems with baking:
1 How to establish whether sponge cake is baked through: Approximately 10 minutes
before the end of the baking time specified in the recipe, stick a cocktail stick into
the cake at the highest point. If the cocktail stick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
2 The cake collapses: Use less fluid next time or set the oven temperature 10 degrees
lower. Observe the specified mixing times in the recipe.
3 The cake has risen in the middle but is lower around the edge: Do not grease the
sides of the spring form cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
4 The cake goes too dark on top: Place it lower in the oven, select a lower
temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
5 The cake is too dry: When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail
stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a
temperature 10 degree higher and reduce the baking time.
6 The bread or cake (e. g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky,
streaked with water). Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at
a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it
with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top. Please follow the
recipe and baking times.
7 The cake is unevenly browned: Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the
cake is baked more evenly. Bake delicate pastries on one level using Top/bottom
heating. Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason,
always cut greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
8 The bottom of a fruit cake is too light: Place the cake one level lower the next time.
9 The fruit juice overflows: Next time, use a deeper universal pan, if you have one.
10 Small baked items made out of yeast dough stick to one another when baking:
There should be a gap of approximately 2 cm around each item. This gives enough
space for the baked items to expand well and turn brown on all sides.
