Operating Instructions

1 Safety instructions

5 This appliance conforms with the following EU Directives:

–73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 Low Voltage Directive

–89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 EMC Directive inclusive of Amending Directive 92/31/EEC

–93/68/EEC dated 22.07.1993 CE Marking Directive

Electrical safety

•This appliance must be only connected by a registered electrician.

•In the event of faults with the appliance or damage to the glass ceramic (cracks, scratches or splits), the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the electrical supply, to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.

•Repairs to the appliance must only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Considerable danger may result from improper repairs. If repairs become necessary, please contact our Customer Services or your dealer.

Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.

Safety during use

•This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of food.

•Do not use the cooking surface to heat up the room.

•Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in fat or oil (e. g. chips), you should watch the cooking process.

•If you are using cookware with a long handle, turn the handle so that it does not project over the ring. Make sure that the handle is not positioned over a hot or warm cooking zone.

•Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical leads should not be allowed to come near the rings or to become caught under the hot oven door.

•Switch the cooking zones off after each use.

•Warning: Danger of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven become very hot during use.

5

•If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.

3 Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

•The appliance must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.

•Do not operate the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware.

•Make sure that no acidic liquids, e. g. vinegar, lemon or limescale removing agents, get onto the edges of the cooking surface, as otherwise this will cause matt patches.

•Pointed objects and hard objects that fall onto the cooking surface can damage it.

•Keep all objects and materials that might melt well away from the glass ceramic surface, e. g. plastics, tin foils or oven foils. If, however, something should melt onto the glass ceramic surface, this must be removed immediately with the scraper.

•Do not line the oven with aluminium foil and do not place baking trays, pots, etc. on the oven floor, as the heat that builds up will damage the oven enamel.

•Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.

•Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.

•Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage to or discoloration of the enamel.

•Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to break.

•Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven is switched on.

•Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.

11

Initial Cleaning

You should clean the appliance thoroughly before using for the first time.

3 For appliances with metal fronts, use normal commercially available cleaning agents.

1.Turn the oven functions dial to Light .

2.Remove all accessories and the side rails and clean with warm water and washing-up liquid.

3.Wash the oven in the same way, with warm water and washing-up liquid, and dry it.

4.Wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth.

12

Using the Rings

3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function or the life of the appliance.

Heat settings

•Heat settings can be set from 1-9.

•Intermediate positions are possible for settings 2-7.

1 = lowest output

9 = highest output

= double ring switching

2 Switch the cooking zone off approx. 5-10 minutes before cooking is finished to make use of the residual heat. This saves electricity.

Inserting the Combination Shelf, Baking Tray and Roasting Pan

Inserting the baking tray or roasting pan

Insert baking tray or or roasting pan on the telescopic runners of the selected oven level so that the two holes engage on the front retaining pins on the telescopic runners.

Inserting the oven shelf:

Insert the oven shelf so that the feet point downwards.

Insert the oven shelf on the telescopic runners of the selected oven level.

3 The high rim around the oven shelf is an additional device to prevent cookware from slipping.

Inserting the oven shelf and roasting pan together:

Lay the oven shelf on the roasting pan.

Insert the oven shelf and the roasting pan on the telescopic runners of the selected oven level so that the two holes of the roasting pan engage on the front retaining pins on the telescopic runners.

3 To make it easier to insert the insertable component when runners are extended to different extents, lay the insertable component onto the runners at the back, push it in as far as the stop and then lower it onto the retaining pins at the front.
