❑ Our appliances comply with all current safety

regulations for electric appliances. Repairs must only be

carried out by after-sales service technicians who have

been trained by the respective manufacturer. Improper

repairs can lead to risk of serious injury to the user.

❑ The surfaces of heating and cooking appliances

become hot during operation. In particular, the inner

surfaces of the oven, the heating elements and the

steam outlet become very hot. Keep children at a safe

distance.

❑ Remain in the vicinity of the food when cooking with fat

or oil. Oil that overheats can ignite. Never add water to

burning fat or oil. Risk of fire!

In the event of fire, extinguish the flames by covering

the pan and switch off the hotplate.

❑ The connecting cords of electrical appliances must not

come into contact with the hot cooking surfaces or

become trapped in the hot oven door, as this could

result in damage to the connecting cord's insulating

surface. The drawer in the base of the cooker must be

pulled out in order to gain access to the cooker feet.

Important

10 11

❑ Never place a baking tray or aluminium foil on the oven

cavity floor, as this would result in the oven heat being

trapped. The baking and roasting times would no

longer be maintained and the enamel could be

damaged.

❑ Never pour water into the hot oven. It could damage

the enamel.

❑ Fruit juices that drip from the baking tray will leave

stubborn stains that will not be removable. When

cooking soft fruit cakes it is best to use the deeper

universal pan.

❑ Do not sit or stand on the opened oven door.

❑ The oven door must always close properly. Keep the

door seal areas clean.

❑ Never place hot items (e.g. hot baking trays) into the

drawer in base, otherwise it could be damaged.

Type of heating

Childproof lock

Introducing: Your new cooker

Different types of heating modes are available for the

oven, enabling you to select the best method for

cooking.

Top/bottom heating

This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the cake

or roast from the top and bottom of the oven.

This type of heating is ideal for baking bread, biscuits,

cheese cakes or fruit cakes on one oven shelf level.

Top and bottom heating is also suitable for cooking

lean roasts of beef, veal and game in an open or closed

roasting pan.

Bottom heat

This involves the emission of heat from the bottom part

of the oven only. Bottom heat is ideal for tureens and

puddings in bain-marie, as well as crispy cake bases.

Bottom heat with circulating air

This function uses bottom and ring heating element

with circulating air. It is ideal for baking pizza and is also

suitable for flat cakes with juicy topping.

3D Hot air system

This system uses seperate heating elements -top, bottom

and ring heating element at the rear of the oven-to ensure

perfect even heat distribution around the oven. This

optimum heat distribution and constant circulation of hot

air enables you to bake similtaneously on two levels.

Sweet and savoury items, as biscuits and puff pastry, can

be evenly baked on three self levels simultaneously. Select

an oven temperature approximately 20-30ÆC lower than

for top and bottom heating. 3D system is particularly

suitable for defrosting, sterillizing and drying.

∞

Radiant grilling

The entire surface under the grill heating element becomes

hot. This is ideal for grilling steaks, sausages, fish or toast.

Grilling with circulating air

This type of heating involves the grill heating element and

the fan switching on and off alternately. During the pause

in heating, the fan circulates the heat generated by the grill

around the food. This ensures that pieces of meat are

crisped and brown on all sides and that the oven remains

cleaner than in top and bottom heating.

Large roasts, poultry and fish can also be cooked superbly

without a rotary spit and without preheating.

Fast preheating

Using this function you can preheat the oven at a really

short time. The grill element and heat from below are in

operation.

This is how fast preheating works:

1. Set the function selector at ° .

2. Set the temperature selector. The pilot lamp lights up.

3. When the set temperature has been reached, the oven

indicator light goes out. You can now select the function

you prefer and place the tray in the oven.

This is what to do:

Cooking

Please observe the following information to ensure the

long-lasting attractiveness of your hob and avoid damage:

❑ Saucepans and frying pans should not have a rough

base otherwise they will scratch the hob surface.

❑ Do not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic

containers. These materials will melt.

❑ The base of the saucepan or frying pan must be clean

and dry before it is placed onto the hotplate.

❑ Do not allow enamel pans to boil dry as this could

damage the base of the pan and the ceramic surface.

❑ If you are using special cookware, observe the

manufacturer's instructions.

❑ Do not use the hob as a storage or work surface.

Grains of salt, sugar or sand (which are sometimes left

when vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on

the hob.

❑ Ensure that no hard or sharp object is dropped onto

the hob, otherwise it could be damaged as a result.

❑ If any food is spilt or boils over, remove it while still hot

using the glass scraper.

❑ Important: Melted sugar or food with a high sugar

content that has boiled over must be removed from the

hot cooking zone immediately by means of the glass

scraper.

❑ Do not use a protective foil on the hob.

❑ Do not place hot saucepans or frying pans on the hob

frame.

Hob discoloration

❑ Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmer) is caused by

particles rubbing off the bases of some pans or by

using unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed using

Stahl-Fix, but it is a time-consuming job. Our after-sales

service will remove such stains at a charge. Aggressive

or abrasive cleaning agents will rub off the decor,

causing dark patches.

Any food residues that were not removed and have

become baked on will also cause hob discoloration.

Pitting caused by melted

sugar or food with a high

sugar content.

Setting procedure:

The control knobs are retractable in the OFF position.

To engage or disengage the knob, simply press it.

The hotplate controls are used to select the heat setting

for the individual hotplates.

1 = lowest heat setting

9 = highest heat setting

An end stop is fitted at the end of the setting range.

Please do not turn the switch beyond this point. The

indicator light illuminates when a hotplate is switched on.

The effective size of this hotplate can be varied.

To switch on the outer section of the dual-circuit

hotplate:

Turn the hotplate control clockwise to setting 9 – here you

will feel slight resistance – and then on to the symbol

= outer section of dual-circuit hotplate.

Then select the desired heat setting.

Switching back to the inner section:

Turn the hotplate control to 0 and make a new setting.

Important: Never attempt to switch straight to 0 via the

symbol.

The inner section of the dual-circuit hotplate (12 cm) is

particularly useful for warming up small amounts of food.

The following table provides you with a few practical

examples. Please remember that the cooking times

depend on the type, weight and quality of the food, and

that deviations may occur as a result.

For initial cooking and initial roasting, set the hotplate

control to setting 9, and subsequently switch back to

the appropriate simmer setting.

Notes

❑ A slight buzzing can be heard while the hotplates are

heating up. Individual hotplates may glow more brightly

than others. There are technical reasons for this and

they have no effect on quality or function.

❑ When the heating element of a hotplate glows red, it

may appear to extend outside of the borders defining

the cooking zone, depending on the angle from which

it is observed.

❑ The heating element underneath the hotplate is

regulated by being switched on and off. If you select

a low heat setting, the heating element switches off

frequently. On a high setting the heating element will

seldom be switched off.

❑ Glass ceramic is a natural product, just like all other

ceramic materials. Such products may exhibit

irregularities on the surface as a result of the

manufacturing process. The hob's mirror finish can

mean that even the smallest bubble, less than 1 mm in

diameter, is more or less visible. They neither impair the

performance nor the durability of the ceramic hob.

❑ We recommend that you use saucepans and frying

pans with thick flat bases. Uneven bases increase

cooking times.

❑ Always use the correct size of saucepan for the amount

of food that you intend to cook. A large pan that is only

partially filled requires a lot of energy.

❑ Always use saucepans and frying pans with a lid that

fits properly.

❑ The best transfer of heat is achieved when the base of

the pan is the same size as the hotplate. When you buy

pans, bear in mind that the manufacturer often quotes

the diameter at the top of the pan, which, as a rule, is

bigger than the diameter of the base.

❑ Switch the hotplate down to a lower heat setting in

good time.

❑ Make use of the residual heat. In the case of longer

cooking times, you can switch off the hotplate 5 to

10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

❑ Even though the hotplate has been switched off, it can

still be used to warm dishes or melt ingredients for as

long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated.

Baking tins:

It is best to use dark baking tins made out of metal. For

light baking tins made out of thin metal, and glass dishes,

it is best to use hot air. However, this method prolongs the

baking times and does not brown the cakes as evenly.

Always place the cake tin on the wire grill.

About the tables:

The values in the table apply to insertion into a cold oven,

and are designed for optimum energy utilization. If you

wish to preheat the oven, however, simply shorten the

specified baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.

The temperature and baking time depend on the

consistency and quantity of cake mixture. This is why

'ranges' are given in the tables. Start by setting the lower

value and, if necessary, use a higher setting next time.

A lower temperature will provide a more even browning of

the cake.

* At 2 levels baking, the shallowenamel pan is put above alumunum pan. If you choose to

use deep enamel pan, you should always place it above shallow pan.

** At 3 levels baking, place pans by counting from lower to upper baking level like this:

shallow enamel pan at level 1, aluminum pan at level 3 and deep universal pan at level 5.

When baking at 3 levels, it may occur that levels 3 and 5 might need to be taken out, a little

sooner than the end of the recommended baking time.

Orientate your baking to similar items from the baking

tables.

Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the baking

time specified in the cooking instructions, pierce the

highest part of the cake using a wooden skewer. The cake

is ready if no mixture sticks to the skewer.

Next time, use less liquid or decrease the oven

temperature by 10 degrees. Follow the stirring times in the

cooking instructions.

Do not grease the edge of the spring form. After baking,

carefully loosen the cake using a knife.

Insert it on a lower level, select a lower temperature and

bake the cake for a little longer.

Insert it on a higher level and select a lower temperature

next time.

Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the food

is cooked more evenly. Sensitive pastry should be baked

using top and bottom heat and on one level.

Baking paper that protrudes over the food can influence

the air circulation. For this reason, always cut the baking

paper to fit the baking tray.

Use the deeper universal pan next time.

Use a skewer to pierce small holes in the baked cake.

Then trickle the fruit juice or liqueur over the cake. Next

time, select a temperature 10 degrees higher and shorten

the baking times.

What to do if ...

You wish to bake using your

own recipe.

You cannot tell whether the

Victoria sponge cake is

cooked through.

The cake falls apart.

The cake has risen in the

middle and is lower at the

edges.

The cake becomes too dark at

the top.

The cake becomes too dark at

the bottom.

The pastry is browned

unevenly!

The fruit cake is too light in

colour at the bottom. The fruit

juice flows over.

The cake is too dry.

Next time, use a little less liquid and bake for a little longer

but at a lower temperature. When preparing cakes with

soft toppings, bake the cake base first, then sprinkle

almonds or breadcrumbs onto it and finally add the

topping. Please follow the cooking instructions and baking

times.

Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the food

is cooked more evenly. Cakes that are inserted at the

same time will not necessarily be ready at the same time.

Allow the cake at the bottom of the oven to bake for 5 or

10 minutes longer at the end or, alternatively, put it in the

oven earlier.

Place the tray back into the oven again for a short period.

Now loosen the biscuits immediately. Next time line the

baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, as

it will then be easier to remove from the tin.

If it still cannot be removed, carefully loosen the edge

using a knife. Turn the cake upside down again and cover

the tin several times with a cold, damp cloth. Next time,

grease the tin more intensely and line with non-stick paper.

The oven temperature is measured by the manufacturer by

means of a test shelf placed in the middle of the oven. The

measured value depends very much on the bakeware and

accessories being used, meaning that any measurements

carried out by yourself will produce different results.

Steam may be produced during baking, most escapes

through the steam outlet, some may condense on the cool

control panel front or the surrounding cabinets where it will

drip off. This will be dependent on the physical conditions.

The bread or cake (e.g.

cheesecake) looks good, but

is soggy inside (runny and

uncooked).

You were baking on several

levels. The food on the top

baking tray is darker than that

on the bottom baking tray.

The biscuits or cake will not

come off the baking tray.

The cake will not come out

when tipped upside down.

You have measured the oven

temperature using your own

thermometer and find that the

values deviate.

Condensation occurs when

baking wetter cake mixtures.

Meat, poultry, fish

Cakes and pastry

❑ Use dark, black-finish or enamelled baking tins, as

these are particularly good conductors of heat.

❑ Only preheat the oven if this is expressly stipulated in

the cooking instructions or the application tables

contained in the instruction manual.

❑ For long cooking times, it is possible to switch off the

oven 10 minutes before the end of the baking time and

thus use the residual heat to finish off the baking.

❑ When baking several cakes, it is best to bake them one

after the other. The oven will still be warm, meaning that

the baking time for the second cake will be reduced.

It is also possible to bake two cakes (e.g. in cake tins)

next to each other.

Advice on saving energy

Generally, you may use all heat-resistant cookware. The

universal pan is also suitable for large roasts.

Always place the cookware in the centre of the wire grill.

Hot glass cookware should be placed on a dry kitchen

towel after removal from the oven. The glass could crack

if placed on a cold or wet surface.

The roasting result depends on the type and quality of

meat.

Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10

soup spoons of liquid to pot roasts, depending on the

size.

Pieces of meat that weigh more than 1.5 kg should be

turned after half the cooking time.

When the roast is ready, it should be allowed to stand for

10 minutes in the switched off, closed oven. This allows

better distribution of the meat juices.

Always close the oven door when grilling.

Wherever possible, use pieces of meat that are of a similar

thickness, and at least 2 to 3 cm thick. Such pieces will be

browned evenly and stay juicy and soft in the middle.

Steaks should only be salted after grilling.

Place the pieces of meat directly onto the wire grill.

In addition, insert the universal pan on level 1. The meat

juices are collected here and the oven is kept clean.

Turn the meat after two thirds of the time specified in the

tables.

Note: The grill heating element switches on and off

automatically. This is normal. How often this occurs

depends on the selected grill setting.

* Roast beef should be turned after half of the specified time. Once cooked, wrap the beef in

aluminium foil and allow to stand in oven for 10 minutes.

** Cut into the rind of the pork and place it first, when it is to be turned over, with the rind

facing downward into the cookware.

Poultry will become particularly crispy and brown if you

coat it with butter, salty water, dripping fat or orange juice

at the end of the roasting time.

Turn the whole bird after two thirds of the grilling time.

Pierce the skin of duck or goose under the wings to

enable the fat to run off.

If you are grilling directly on the wire grill, insert the

universal pan on level 1.

Fish

Example: Grilled trout

Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and

extend the time.

Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist stores)

or implement a “spoon test”. Press a spoon onto the

roast. If it feels firm, it is ready. If it can be pressed in,

it needs to be cooked for a little longer.

Check the insertion level and temperature.

Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more

liquid.

Next time, use a larger roasting dish and add less liquid.

Use the grilling with circulating air setting rather than top

and bottom heating. This ensures that the meat juices are

not heated so intensely and consequently produce less

steam.

What to do if ...

The table does not contain

specifications for the weight

of the roast.

You are not sure whether the

roast is ready.

The roast is too dark and the

crackling is partly burnt.

The roast looks good, but the

sauce is burnt.

The roast looks good, but the

sauce is too light and watery.

Steam rises from the roast

when the stock is added.

* Insert the universal pan on level 1.
