Tips and tricks

The following are tips and tricks to help you when
cooking food in your appliance.
Tips for saving energy
Here are a few tips for saving energy when using the
cooktop and oven.
Tips on using the cooktop
Suitable cookware diameter
Make sure that the diameter of the cookware is
suitable for the diameter of whichever hotplate you
are using.
You can find an overview of suitable diameters in the
section entitled "Your new appliance - the cooktop".
The flame of the gas burner must not be larger than
the diameter of the cookware.
Cookware with lids
Use cookware with a flat bottom.
If possible, use cookware with lids to save gas.
Less water
To reduce the cooking time for e.g. vegetables and
potatoes, use less water.
Tips on using the oven
Several cakes
It is best to bake several cakes one after the other.
The oven is still warm. This reduces the baking time
for the second cake. You can also place two cake tins
next to each other.
Using residual heat
Where longer cooking times are used, you can switch
the oven off 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and use the residual heat to finish cooking.
Closing the appliance door
Always keep the appliance door closed when it is in
operation. If you need to open the appliance door,
close it again as soon as possible. Otherwise, the
temperature will drop and the oven will need to heat
itself up again.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tips for using your appliance
The following tips relate to ovenware and cooking and
explain what to do if something goes wrong.
General tips
Since a lower temperature allows more even
browning.
Clean the appliance and accessories after each use,
once they have cooled down.
Always place baking tins or ovenware in the centre of
the wire rack.
Always place cookware in the middle of the hotplate
on the cooktop.
Boiling and frying
Cookware
For dishes which require a lot of liquid, use deepsided
pots so that they do not boil over.
The pan base must be clean, dry and flat.
