4 Preparation Tips for saving energy The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy: • Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in the oven since the heat transmission will be better. • While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in the user manual or cooking instructions. • Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking. • 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 shelf. • Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot. • Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them. • Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times. • Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy. Initial use First cleaning of the appliance The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials. Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. 1. Remove all packaging materials. 2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.
