Disposal of Waste Products
• Certain foods do not need a preheated oven. Do not preheat the oven unless
necessary or stated in the recipe.
• Do not use full grill if half grill will be sufcient.
• Where possible, cook multiple items at once. This will lower the amount of time
that the oven is in use.
• Plan ahead. If you will be cooking food that will keep (puddings, cakes, pastries
etc.), do so whilst the oven is still hot from cooking a meal as you will only have to
heat up the oven once. This will also save time later on.
• Remove any accessories from the oven that are not required for cooking.
• Avoid opening the door during cooking.
• Do not use the cavity lighting unless necessary.
