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. Use the COOKER FUNCTION LOCK. Activate the lock button and lock the cooker when it is not being used. 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. all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan. never use water. On the hob, use only pans which are intended for use on hotplates. Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven. Check that the cooker is switched off when not in use. All controls should be turned off. SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, Warning! Alcohol and other liquids that can form explosive gases, or other substances that could cause a fire or explosion, must not be used in the oven. Great care must be taken when using such liquids and substances on the hob. For example, when preparing food on the hob with flaming brandy, or any other type of alcohol, there is always a risk that fat particles in the hob fan may catch fire with serious consequences. Flames and burning fat spills can also cause personal injury. Cleaning Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst, can cause fires. 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 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 3 The Cooker The Cooker 1 Removable oven vent 2 Hob with HOTPLATES 3 Control panel with CONTROLS 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth 1 2 To make it easier to clean behind the cooker, it has wheels at the rear. To move the cooker forwards, open the oven door, lift carefully holding the upper edge and then pull the cooker out from the wall. 3 4 5 6 Unpacking Check that the cooker is undamaged and in perfect condition. 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 Hob guard, including fittings Instruction book 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. 20). 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 to the right side (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 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 A B B C C 6 The safety equipment 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. The oven vent cover 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 hotplates When supplied, the hotplates have been pretreated with an anti-corrosion product which will provide better protection if the hotplates are heated without pans the first time. Heat two hotplates at a time, turning their controls to full power, and leaving them on for no more than five minutes. Work diagonally: heat the left front and the right rear hotplates first, then the right front and the left rear. The hotplates will get very hot, so be extra mindful of the safety of anyone near the cooker during this procedure. Some smoke and fumes are to be expected as the remaining solvent evaporates. Do not heat the oven empty yet. Wait until you have finished with the hotplates. max. 5 min. 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. 7 The safety equipment The control panel 5 1a 2 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 COOKER 3 1b 4 indicator light OVEN indicator light OVEN function control OVEN temperature control HOTPLATE controls Cooker function lock The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life.

The cooling fan starts automatically as soon as you use the cooker. The fan will be working all the time the hob and/or the oven are turned on. When all the controls are turned to zero, the fan stops automatically. 3 1 2 Cooling system The controls and panel (1) are cooled by the fan. The door glass (2) is kept cool by the ventilation channels in the door and a heat-reflecting coating on the inside of the door. The heated air flows out under the panel (3) (but not the cooking smells from the oven which are extracted through the fan hood). On delivery, the fan in the cooker is always disconnected (Position 0) The following alternatives may be selected: Position I Fan starts when using the oven Position 0 Fan disconnected Position II Fan starts when a ring or the oven is switched on 9 The hob The hob The cooker has four hotplates. Fast-heating hotplates are marked with a red dot and have an overheating cut-out function. The front left hotplate is thermostatically controlled, and is identified by three Ts. The built-in thermostat ensures that the hotplate maintains an even temperature once it has reached the setting selected. This means · that the frying pan/saucepan maintains a constant temperature, which is important for achieving good results. · that you rarely have to alter the control setting while cooking · a minimal risk of pans boiling over · a minimal risk of food burning onto pans, e.g. foods containing milk ø 145 mm ø 180 mm ø 145 mm ø 220 mm Using the hob Never leave the cooker unattended while deep fat 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 the cooker hood fan. SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water. The control setting you choose will depend on your pans, what you are cooking and the quantity. Use the recommendations given below as a guide and you will soon learn the correct control settings.
