Before using the oven for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using
your oven to prepare food for the first time. First read the
section on Safety information.
Heating up the oven
To remove the new cooker smell, heat up the oven when it is
empty and closed. An hour of Top/bottom heating
% at
240 °C is ideal for this purpose. Ensure that no packaging
remnants have been left in the cooking compartment.
Keep the kitchen ventilated the whole time the oven is on.
1. Use the function selector to set Top/bottom heating %.
2. Set the temperature selector to 240 °C.
After an hour, switch off the oven. To do so, turn the function
selector to the off position.
Cleaning the accessories
Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in
the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
Energy is saved.
Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power as
soon as the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate
stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having
previously switched it off.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking;
these may be made from:
enamelled steel
cast iron
special stainless steel induction pans.
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a
magnet will stick to its base.
There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is
not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
common thin steel
glass
earthenware
copper
aluminium
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of
the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help
diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute
heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of
unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level
displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable
pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than
90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The
hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an
empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch
off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach
very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and
damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the
pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which
varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You
should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the
diameter of your pan.
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic area, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas
inserted in the base reduce the
ferromagnetic area, so less heat
may be supplied and the pan
may be difficult to detect or not
be detected at all.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's ferro-
magnetic area should match the
size of the hotplate. If cookware
is not detected on a hotplate, try
it on the next smaller hotplate
down.
13
Programming the hob
This section will show you how to program the hotplates. The
table contains power levels and cooking times for several
dishes.
Turning the hob on and off
The hob is turned on and off using the main switch.
To turn on: Press the
# symbol. A beep sounds. The indicator

Setting the oven
There are various ways in which you can set your oven. Here
we will explain how you can select the desired type of heating
and temperature or grill setting.
Types of heating and temperature
Example in the picture: 190 °C, % Top/bottom heating.
1. Use the function selector to select the required type of
heating.
2. Use the temperature selector to set the temperature or the
grill setting.
The oven heats up.
Switching off the oven
Turn the function selector to the off position.
Changing the settings
The type of heating and temperature or grill setting can be
changed at any time using their respective selectors.
Care and cleaning
With attentive care and cleaning, your hob and oven will retain
its looks and remain in good working order for a long time. We
will explain here how you should care for and clean them
correctly.
Notes
Slight differences in the colours on the front of the oven are
caused by the use of different materials, such as glass,
plastic and metal.
Shadows on the door panel which look like streaks, are
caused by reflections made by the oven light.
Enamel is baked on at very high temperatures. This can
cause some slight colour variations. This is normal and does
not affect operation. The edges of thin trays cannot be
completely enamelled. As a result, these edges can be
rough. This will not impair the anti-corrosion protection.
Cleaning agents
Damage to the various different surfaces caused by using the
wrong cleaning agent can be avoided by observing the
following instructions.
When cleaning the hob do not use
undiluted washing-up liquid or dishwasher detergent,
scouring pads,
abrasive cleaning agents such as oven cleaner or stain
remover,
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.
18
When cleaning the oven do not use
sharp or abrasive cleaning agents,
cleaning agent with a high alcohol content,
scouring pads,
high-pressure cleaners or steam jets.
Do not clean individual parts in the dishwasher.

Detaching and refitting the rails
The rails can be removed for cleaning. The oven must have
cooled down.
Unhooking the rails
1. Hold the shelf frames from underneath and pull slightly
forward. Pull the extension pins at the bottom of the rails out
of the mounting holes (Fig. A).
2. Then fold the rails upwards and carefully remove them
(Fig. B).
Clean the rails with washing-up liquid and a sponge. For
stubborn deposits of dirt, use a brush.
Installing the frames
1. Insert the two hooks carefully into the upper holes. (Figure A-
B)
: Incorrect assembly!
Never move the frame before the two hooks are fully
anchored in the upper holes. The enamel could be damaged
and may break (figure C).
2. the two hooks must be inserted fully into the upper holes.
Now move the frame slowly and carefully downwards and
insert in the lower holes (figure D).
3. Insert both frames into the side walls of the oven (figure E).
If the rails are fitted correctly, the distance between the two
upper shelf positions is greater.
