The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the cooker and its use. warning triangle is to do with safety. PLEASE READ THESE TEXTS CAREFULLY, so that you do not harm yourself, others or the cooker. ANY TEXT MARKED WITH A Children and the cooker Children are naturally curious and interested in most things, including the cooker. From a safety point of view, we would like to emphasis the following for those with children at home: There should be worktops on both sides of the cooker extending at least 40 cm to left and to right. Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the other side. The NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted to prevent the cooker from tipping forwards if subjected to an abnormal loading. The HOB GUARD (included or optional) should be fitted and the DOOR CATCH/DOOR CATCHES should be activated. Do not let children use the razor blade scraper. Children should be allowed to help with cooking, but teach them that pans, hotplates and ovens become hot and retain their heat for some time after use. TOUCHING THESE CAN CAUSE BURNS. Never place aluminium foil, plastics etc. on the ceramic hob. If a hotplate is switched on by mistake, these materials will rapidly start to burn or melt. Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying, or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan. SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water. Use only pans which are intended for ceramic hobs. Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven. Check the bases of your pans. Pans with convex bases are poor conductors of heat, and also tend to spin easily on the flat ceramic hob. Check that the cooker is switched off when not in use. All controls should be turned off. Cleaning Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst, can cause fires. Use the scraper to remove immediately (while the hob is still warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob if left. Be careful as the razor blade is extremely sharp. Installation Work on the cooker must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Work performed by unqualified persons can damage the cooker, and may also lead to personal injury and/or damage to property. The cooker is heavy. Certain edges and corners which will not normally be exposed may be sharp. Use gloves when moving the cooker. The NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted, to prevent the cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading. Maintenance and service Turn all controls off before changing any bulbs. Service and repairs should be carried out by a service company approved by the supplier. Use only spare parts supplied by such companies. At the end of the cooker's life Help prevent accidents when the cooker has reached the end of its useful life. Make sure first that the lead is completely disconnected from the electrical supply (pull out the plug, or have the cooker safely disconnected from the wall), then cut the electrical lead at the point where it enters the cooker. Make sure that the door catch/door catches have been deactivated. When using the cooker Never use the ceramic hob if it is cracked, as water from spillages and/or cleaning could penetrate down to live conductors. If the hob is damaged, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply and contact your service centre to have the cooker repaired. 3 The Cooker The Cooker 1a Removable oven vent 1b Hot-hob warning lights 2 Hob with HEATING ZONES 3 Control panel with CONTROLS 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth °C 1b 1a 2 3 To make it easier to clean behind the cooker, it has wheels at the rear.

Any damage occurred during transportation should be reported to the retailer immediately. The packaging materials can be recycled. Contact your local council to find out where to take them. The accessories THE FOLLOWING ACCESSORIES ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE COOKER: Enamelled baking trays and oven dish Oven shelf Non-tip device, including fittings Razor blade scraper and cleaning product for ceramic hob · Instruction book THE FOLLOWING MAY BE PURCHASED AS OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES: · · · · · Hob guard, including fittings 4 The safety equipment The safety equipment There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides of the cooker (SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the other. Child safety is further improved if the following equipment is fitted/in use: min. 40 cm min. 40 cm Non-tip device The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading. The non-tip device can only provide protection when the cooker is pushed into its normal position. Before fitting the non-tip device, make sure the cooker has been levelled and adjusted to the correct plinth height (see "Installation" on p. 17). 1 Draw a line on the wall ­ after levelling the cooker ­ along the top edge of the hob (see illustration). 2 The measurements shown can be applied whether the non-tip device is fitted on the left or the right (see illustration). Measure and mark where the non-tip device is to be placed, then screw it onto a solid material or a suitable reinforcement or fixings. NOTE! If the space between kitchen units is wider than the cooker, you will need to alter the measurements shown in the illustration if the cooker is to be centred. 3 If you alter the measurements, remember to align the cooker correctly when pushing it into place, so that the non-tip device enters the hole on the cooker rear. 35-65 mm 55-60 mm The hob guard (optional accessory) The hob guard should be fitted to make it harder for children to reach pans on the hob. 1 Press the plugs into the front holes. 2 Place the guard on the cooker with the plugs over the edge of the hob. 3 Angle the guard downwards and then back upwards so the edges on its two sides engage under the edge of the hob. 4 Lock it in place with the rear plugs. 2 1 3 4 5 5 The safety equipment The door catch The door catch makes it harder for children to open the oven door/storage drawer. The catches are already activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be deactivated if necessary. A Press the catch down when you want to open the door. B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the top edge of the door downwards and then a few millimetres to the right. C If you wish to activate the catch again, push the catch on the top edge of the door a few millimetres to the left. A B C Before the first use Cleaning the cooker Clean the cooker with a clean cloth, hot water and a little washing-up liquid straight after use. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING AGENTS, except on some parts of the cooker that might occasionally need cleaning more thoroughly. Don't forget to clean underneath the oven vent cover. This can be washed in a dishwasher. Remember that the non-tip device does not work when the cooker has been pulled forward to clean behind it. Wash the accessories Wash the baking tray, oven dish etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry. Heat the oven empty Children should be supervised! The cooker will get very hot. Before you use the oven for the first time, you need to heat it empty. Follow these instructions: 1 Select max.°C (top/bottom heat) and maximum temperature. The oven door should be shut. 2 Ventilate the room. Switch off the oven once the "new" smell and fumes have ceased. 3 Use hot water and washing-up liquid to wipe the oven, side racks and the inside of the door. Then wipe all of these parts dry. °C 6 The safety equipment The control panel 1a °C 1b 1a 1b 2 3 4 COOKER 2 3 4 indicator light OVEN indicator light OVEN function control OVEN temperature control HEATING ZONE controls The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life. If one should fail, contact your service centre. 7 The ceramic hob The ceramic hob The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to prevent overheating. The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate light will remain on, even after the hotplate control has been switched off, until the hotplate temperature falls below about 55°C. ø 145 mm ROSENLEW ø 180 mm ø 145 mm ø 180 mm Hot hob warning lights The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact. A pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never stand or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a storage space. Using the hob NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED. Water from spillages could seep through to the live conductors. Disconnect the cooker and contact your service centre to have the cooker repaired. Use the scraper to remove immediately (while the hob is still warm) spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob if left. Never leave the cooker unattended while deep fat frying, melting fats, paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and the cooker hood fan. SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water. The heating zone controls are graduated from 0 to 12 (12 is the hottest). They can be turned both clockwise and anticlockwise. TO USE THE HOB: 1 Turn the control for the heating zone you are going to use. 2 Reset the control after use. 8 The ceramic hob Which heat setting should you use? You will soon learn which setting and heating zone to choose depending on your pans and what you are cooking. Here is a brief guide to choosing the correct setting: Boiling You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can help you to choose the correct setting: Simmering with tiny bubbles as in carbonated water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as sugar peas and broccoli. GENTLE HEAT: Gently boiling with larger bubbles. Suitable for boiling most foods, such as meat, root vegetables and potatoes. MEDIUM HEAT: HOT: The sound disappears before the water starts bubbling vigorously. Suitable for boiling water for pasta and rice. Then turn the heat down for more gent ...
