Safety

These warnings have been provided in the interest of your safety. Ensure that you

understand them all before installing or using this appliance. The cooker is intended for

normal household use. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any viewpoints or

questions about the cooker and its use. You can find our address and telephone number

in the ”Service” chapter.

Text marked with a

WARNING

TRIANGLE

concerns safety.

READ

THIS

INFORMATION

VERY

CAREFULLY

, so that you do not injure yourself and others

or damage the cooker.

Unpacking

Check that the cooker is undamaged and

in perfect condition. Any damage

occurred during transportation should be

reported to the retailer immediately.

The packing material can be recycled.

Contact your local authority if you are not

sure where to leave it.

Do not forget to remove the packing

material from inside the oven before

using the oven.

Installation

Any work required on the cooker must be

carried out by a

QUALIFIED

EXPERT

. Any

work carried out by amateurs can mean

poorer cooker performance and result in

personal injury and/or damage to property.

For cookers fitted with a plug: Make

sure that the plug is properly inserted into

the wall outlet.

The cooker is heavy. Edges and

corners with which you do not normally

come into contact can be sharp. Use

gloves when moving the cooker.

THE

TIPPING

PROTECTOR

must be fitted

so that you avoid the cooker tipping when

subjected to abnormal loading.

NOTE! Do not place the cooker on an

extra plinth or other height-increasing

unit since this means more risk that the

cooker will tip over!

Children and the cooker

Children are by nature inquisitive and

interested in most things, including the

cooker. In the interests of safety we

should like to mention a few things that

you should think about if you have

children or are visited by children:

There must be a bench surface at least

40 cm wide on both sides of the cooker.

If you have

A

HEATING

PLATE

GUARD

for your cooker, then this must be fitted.

THE

DOOR

LOCK

must also be fully

operational.

Never allow children to use the blade

scraper.

Let children help you at the cooker

but teach them that pots and pans,

ceramic glass plates and ovens become

very hot and retain heat for some time

after use.

TOUCHING

THEM

CAN

RESULT

IN

BURNS

.

Use

The appliance becomes hot during use.

Do not touch the hob or the heating

elements inside the oven when the

appliance is in use. Never use a cracked

ceramic glass plate. In connection with

5

boiling over and/or cleaning, liquid can

penetrate to live electrical components.

Switch off the power to the cooker and

contact your local Service Force Centre.

Never lay aluminium foil, plastic

material or similar on the ceramic glass

plate. If one of the heating zones is

switched on by mistake, the material on it

can burn or melt.

Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting

fat, paraffin or other easily ignited

material without supervision. In the event

of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and

switch off the extractor fan.

EXTINGUISH

THE

FIRE

WITH

A

POT

LID

, never use water.

Never stand on the ceramic glass plate.

Check that the cooker is properly

turned off when it is not in use, with all

the knobs set at zero.

Warning! Alcohol and similar

substances that can produce explosive gases

or other substances that can cause fires or

explosions must not be used in the oven.

The ceramic glass plate must be used

with the greatest care. For example,

flaming with brandy or other forms of

alcohol can result in traces of fat in the

extractor fan igniting and causing serious

fires. In the same way, flames and

burning fat can cause injuries.

Do not place chemicals or cleaning

agents in the storage compartment.

Cleaning

Keep the ceramic glass plate and the oven

clean. Grease and spilled material can

cause a great deal of smoke when heated

and, in the worse case, imply a risk of fire.

While the oven is still hot, you must use

the scraper blade immediately to remove

sugar, and boiled-over material with a high

sugar content, for example marmelade, as

well as melted plastic and foil, to avoid

damaging the ceramic glass plate. Be

careful, the blade is extremely sharp.

Maintenance and service

Turn all the knobs to zero before

replacing a burned-out oven lamp bulb.

Make sure that the cooker is thoroughly

switched off before replacing the bulb.

Pull out the plug for cookers fitted with

one. For other cookers, switch off the

power by using the multi-pole switch.

Service and repairs should be carried

out by a company that is approved by the

supplier. Use only genuine replacement

parts.

Disposal and recycling

The symbol on the product or the

packing material indicates that the

product may not be treated as household

refuse. Instead it must be taken to a

disposal station for recycling of the

electrical and electronic components.

By ensuring that the product is

handled in the right way, you are making

a contribution towards preventing

possible negative environmental and

health effects which can occur if the

product is disposed of as normal refuse.

For more detailed information about

recycling, contact your local authorities

or refuse collectors or the store where you

purchased the product.

Installation

Work carried out on the cooker must

be carried out by an

AUTHORISED

EXPERT

. The cooker is heavy. Edges

and corners with which you do not

normally come into contact can be

sharp.

USE

GLOVES

when moving the

cooker.

When delivered, the cooker is adapted to a

bench height of 900 mm. The cooker has a

telescopic plinth. You can alter the height so

that the cooker fits bench height from 848

mm up to 933 mm.

Take care when positioning the cooker

so that it does not block the ventilation

outlets (behind the cooker and above the

hood). The cooker must not be pushed in

under a tiled edge or similar.

The cooker must have a bench area on

both sides (See ”Safety”).

Make sure that the cooker cable is not

crushed when the cooker is moved.

7

Changing plinth height

If you want to change height, first read

through all the points below before you start.

1 Lay down the cooker gently (

SEE

ILLUSTRATION

). Use material such as

the Frigolite from the packing

material as protection between the

floor and the cooker. Remember to

place a protective layer under the rear

lower corners of the cooker sides to

protect the floor.

2 Unscrew the screws A (4

SCREWS

,

SEE

ILLUSTRATION

). Pull out the inner

plinth slightly if you only want to

change its height. Pull the brackets on

which the wheels and feet are fitted.

N

OTE

! Be careful, there are sharp

edges under the cooker.

3 Screw in the screws again A in one of

the holes for a bench height of 850 to

920 mm (33.4” to 36.2”). The

distance between the holes varies

between 7 and 14 mm (0.3 and 0.5”).

(

SEE

ILLUSTRATION

A

).

4 Lift the cooker upright and connect it

up electrically. Push the cooker into

position and adjust the level before

fitting the safety equipment.

Adjusting the level

The cooker must stand level, for example to

ensure that fat is evenly divided in the

frying-pan. Place a spirit level or a frying-

pan containing water on the ceramic glass

plate when checking that the cooker is level.

If necessary, from the front of the plinth

you can adjust the cooker wheels and feet by

15 mm (0.6”). Use a screwdriver to adjust

the rear wheels and a polygrip for the front

feet.

The tipping protector

The tipping protector must be fitted to

prevent the cooker from tipping under

abnormal loading.

The tipping protector only

functions when the cooker has been

pushed into position.

THIS

IS

HOW

TO

FIT

THE

TIPPING

PROTECTOR

TO

THE

COOKER

:

1 Before fitting the anti-tip guard,

make sure that the cooker has been

adjusted to the correct height and

is standing level (see page 7).

2 The attachment (B) is fitted to the

left side when delivered. Measure

out where the anti-tip guard (A) is

to be located, 60 mm (2.4") down

from the edge of the ceramic glass

plate and 50 mm (2.0") from the

wall(cupboard). Screw it firmly

into solid material or use suitable

reinforcement. The entire anti-tip

guard (A+B) can also be located

on the right-hand side (

SEE

F

IG

. 1).

Make sure that the surface

behind the cooker is smooth.

If there are tiles or a moulding

behind

the edge of the ceramic

glass plate then there must be a

space with the same dimension

between the anti-tip guard and

the wall. This is so that the anti-

tip guard is firmly attached to

the cooker and functions

correctly.

Check that the anti-tip guard

projects at least 20 mm (0.8")

into the hole in the back of the

cooker (B) when the cooker is

pushed in (

SEE

F

IG

. 2).

NOTE! If the space between the bench

cupboards is greater than the width of the

cooker, then you must adjust the side

measurement if you want to centre the

cooker.

Electrical connections

Any work required on the cooker

must be carried out by a

QUALIFIED

EXPERT

. Any work carried out by

amateurs can mean poorer cooker

performance and result in personal

injury and/or damage to property.

The electrical installation is to include a

device whereby it is possible to separate all

the poles of the equipment from the power

supply, with a contact opening of at least

3 mm.

This stipulation must be satisfied

because of safety reasons.

The connected rating and voltage are

shown on the data plate. There is a wiring

diagram on the back of the cooker.

Before using for the first time

Burn off the oven

Keep children under supervision!

The cooker gets very hot. Do not

forget to remove the packing

material from inside the oven.

Before you use the oven for the first time,

you must burn it off. Make sure that there is

good ventilation by starting the extractor fan

or opening a window.

Then do this:

1 Open the oven door and remove all

the accessories from the oven cavity.

2 Close the oven door. Start the oven

with top/bottom heating . Turn

the temperature knob to 200

o

C.

3 Leave the oven at this setting for

about one hour.

4 Change to the grill function. Turn

the function knob to Max Grill .

5 Leave the oven at this setting for

about 30 minutes.

6 Turn the function knob to 0 and turn

off the temperature knob.

7 Then leave the oven door open for

about two hours and air out the

kitchen.

8 Clean the oven, the door and the oven

shelf rails with hot water and washing-

up liquid. Then dry off the oven

There still may be a slight smell when the

oven is used for the first time. However, this

does not affect the taste of the food and is

not a health hazard.

Clean the accessories

Wash the shelves, baking tray etc with hot

water and washing-up liquid. Rinse off and

dry.

14

Using the oven grill

The oven grill has a marking on its upper

surface. This marking is to be to the front

(towards the oven door) when used. Ensure

that whatever is placed on the grill is behind

the marking, otherwise there is risk that it may

not be properly grilled at the front edge. The

grill can be placed in the baking shelf. The

maximum load for the grill is 10kg.

15

Using the ceramic glass plate

The ceramic glass plate has four heating

zones. When you switch on a zone, it lights

up for varying lengths of time, depending on

the level you have selected on the knob. Even

when at the highest setting, the zone will

occasionally turn off in order to avoid

overheating.

The heat warning indicator has four

lamps, one for each zone. The lamp lights up

if the zone is hotter than about 55°C even

after it has been switched off.

The glass in the ceramic glass plate tolerates

heat, cold and temperature shocks, but is

sensitive to impact. A pepper mill or spice jar

can crack the ceramic glass plate if it falls

onto it. Never stand on the ceramic glass

plate.

16

Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate

or a cooker with a cracked timer glass.

Immediately after use (while the

ceramic glass plate is still hot) use the

blade scraper to remove sugar and

boiled-over material with a high

sugar content such as, for example,

marmelade as well as melted plastic

and foil to avoid damage to the plate.

Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting

fat, paraffin or other easily ignited

material without supervision. In the

event of fire, turn off the cooker

knobs and switch off the extractor

fan.

EXTINGUISH

THE

FIRE

WITH

A

POT

LID

, never use water.

Make sure that there is no grit, sugar or

salt on the cooking utensils. Sand can

cause scratches while sugar and salt can

ruin the glass ceramic plate. Always

dry pots and pans before placing them

on the ceramic glass plate. The

coloured décor on the ceramic glass

plate can become worn and scratched in

time after it has been used.

The heating zones

The knobs for the heating zones are marked

from 0 to 12, where 12 provides the highest

heat. The knobs can be turned both

clockwise and anti-clockwise.

THIS

IS

HOW

TO

USE

THE

CERAMIC

GLASS

PLATE

:

1 Select a position on the knob for the

zone that you have selected.

2 Zero the knob after use.

You must experiment to find the setting and

the heating zone that suits you and your

pans, depending on what food you are

preparing. Here is a little guidance (to the

right heating setting):

17

Choice of pan/frying pan

A cooker with a ceramic glass plate

demands more from your pots and pans than

a cooker with heating plates. Remember the

following:

• Check the bottom of the pan. Pans with

a convex bottom (bulging outwards)

tend to swivel on the ceramic glass plate

and provide poor heating contact.

• Aluminium has good heat

conductivity, but can leave silvery

marks on the plate.

• Casseroles and pots that are made of

glass or are enamelled with coarse

patterns cause wear to the plate if

they are pulled backwards and

forwards, more so than pots and pans

made of other materials.

In order to save both time and energy the

bottom of a pan/frying-pan must

• cover the zone completely. If the

bottom is too small, then boil-over

can easily stick to the plate.

• be smooth or finely patterned.

• be absolutely flat. If the bottom

bulges too much outwards or

inwards, heating-up times become

longer.

When you buy new pans, it is advisable to

choose a stainless steel model with a

sandwich bottom, that is to say a bottom

consisting of layers of different metals.

Certain pans are concave when cold. but

become flat when they are heated up.

18

Save energy!

• Use a lid and you halve the energy

requirements (compared with cooking

without a lid).

• Use pans with flat bottoms and save

25% energy (compared with uneven

bottoms).

• Make sure that the ceramic glass

plate is clean and dry. Dirt and

liquids impair heat transfer between

the pan and the heating zone.

• Switch off the heating zone and let

the food finish cooking on the

residual heat.

• Steaming and pressure cooking also

save energy.

19

Using the oven

It is normal for steam and condensation to form on the oven door. This condensation is

from the food being cooked and does not influence safety or oven function.

The oven is fitted with removable shelf rails with five recesses

The oven functions

For all functions, the yellow control lamp on

the control panel lights up during heating up

and goes out when the selected temperature

is reached (it lights up and goes out when the

thermostat switches on and off). To select an

oven function, turn the function knob to the

symbol for the desired function (see below).
