Safety

Cooker technology is constantly improving. 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.

ANY TEXT MARKED WITH A warning triangle is to do with safety. PLEASE READ THESE TEXTS CAREFULLY, so that you

do not harm yourself, others or the cooker.

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 vent the cooker from tipping forwards if subjected to an abnormal loading.

The

HOB GUARD (included or optional) should be

fitted and the activated.

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.

NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted to pre-

DOOR CATCH/DOOR CATCHES should be

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.

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 all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.

SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, 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.

Cleaning

Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst, can cause fires.

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.

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.

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

• Roasting sensor

• Instruction book

THE FOLLOWING MAY BE PURCHASED AS OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:

• Hob guard, including fittings

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:

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. 21).

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 on the left or the right (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.

The hob guard (optional accessory)

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.

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.

TO DEACTIVATE THE DOOR CATCH, DO AS FOLLOWS:

A To open the door, lift the lever at the same time as

pulling the door towards you.

B When you want to deactivate the catch, open the

door (make sure the oven is not hot).

1 Press down the catch on the inner top edge of the

door at the same time as you

2 press down the lever on the front of the door and 3 push it inwards.

C To activate the door catch, pull the lever on the front

of the door outwards.

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.

ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING AGENTS, except on some

parts of the cooker that might occasionally need cleaning more thoroughly. Don’t forget to clean underneath the oven vent cover. This 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.

NEVER USE

Setting the clock

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 one hotplate at a time on full power for no

more than five minutes. 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. Finish heating the hotplates before you first heat the oven.

The safety equipment

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 (top/bottom heat) and maximum tem-

perature. 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.

Boiling

You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can help you to choose the correct setting:

GENTLE HEAT: Simmering with tiny bubbles as in carbonated

water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as sugar peas and broccoli.

MEDIUM HEAT: Gently boiling with larger bubbles.

Suitable for boiling most foods, such as meat, root vegetables and potatoes.

HOT: The sound disappears before the water starts

bubbling vigorously. Suitable for boiling water for pasta and rice. Then turn the heat down for more gentle cooking.
