Safety instructions
Important safety instructions!
Read carefully and keep for furture reference!
Electrical safety
• This appliance must only be connected by
a registered electrician.
• In the event of a fault or damage to the appliance: Take the fuses out or switch off.
• Repairs to the appliance must only be
carried out by qualified service engi-
neers. Considerable danger may result
from improper repairs. If repairs become
necessary, please contact our Customer
Services or your dealer.
Installation
Any work required on the cooker must be
carried out by a qualified engineer. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons
may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.
For cookers with a plug: Make sure that the
plug is completely pushed into the mains
socket. 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 anti-tip guard must
be fitted so that you avoid the cooker tipping
when subjected to abnormal loading.
Important! Do not place the cooker on an
extra plinth or other height increasing unit.
This means more risk that the cooker will tip
over!
Child Safety
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Never leave children unsupervised when
the appliance is in use.
• The appliance is fitted with a child safety
device.
• Accessible parts may become hot during
use. Young children should be kept away.
Safety whilst Using
• This appliance is intended to be used for
cooking, roasting and baking food in the
home.
• Take care when connecting electric appliances to sockets nearby. Make sure that
the cooker cable does not get crushed behind the appliance when install or moving
the cooker.
•
Warning: Risk of burns! The appliance
get hot during use. Do not touch the hob
or the interior of the oven during use.
• Using ingredients containing alcohol in the
oven may create an alcohol-air mixture
that is easily ignited. In this case, open the
door carefully. Do not have embers,
sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when
opening the door.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless

• Switch off the power supply to the cooker
and contact Service for repairs.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate.
Liquids could, if they boil over, or during
cleaning, penetrate down into the live electrical components.
• Never place metal objects such as lids,
knives and spoons on the hob. They become hot if a heating zone is switched on
by mistake.
• Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat,
paraffin or other easily flammable substance unattended. In the event of fire, turn
off the appliance and switch off the fan.
Extinguish the fire with a pot lid, never
use water.
• 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 fan igniting and
causing serious fires. Similarly, flames and
burning fat spills can cause injury to people.
• Check the bottoms of pots and pans. Pans
which bulge outwards tend to swivel easily
on the ceramic glass hob.
• 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.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the
oven is switched on.
•
Warning! Alcohol and similar substances,
which can form explosive gases, or other
substances that can cause a fire or explosion must not be used in the oven.
• After switching off the cooling fan, do not
keep uncovered dishes in the oven. Moisture may condense in the oven interior or
on the glass doors and may get into the
units.
• Do not keep chemicals or cleaning agents
in the storage drawer.
• Switch off the power supply to the appliance and contact Service for repairs.
Note on enamel coating.
Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not
affect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do
not constitute a defect in the sense of
the warranty law.
Cleaning and Care
• Keep the ceramic glass hob and oven
clean. Fat and spilled material can cause
much smoke when heated and are also a
possible fire hazard.
• Immediately after use (while the plate is still
hot) clean with the blade scraper to remove sugar and spills with a high sugar
content, such as marmalade, and also any
melted plastic or foil, in order to avoid damage to the hob. Be careful, the blade scraper is extremely sharp.
Unpacking
Check that the cooker is in perfect condition
and not damaged. You must notify your retailer immediately of any damage that has
occurred during transport. For direct deliveries, any transport damage must be notified
to Customer Services within seven days of
delivery.
The packaging can be recycled. Contact
your local council for more information on recycling facilities in your area.
Do not forget to remove packing material
from inside the oven before it is used.

Telescopic runners
Make sure that the cooker anti-tip guard
is fitted.
The telescopic runners consist of two rails
that can be pulled out. The shelves, the
roasting pan and the grid are laid on top of
the rails. A locating pin keeps the shelf in position (see the illustration).
Using of the telescopic runners facilitates
cooking. For example, when steak or chips
are to be basted, the roasting pan is easily
pulled out on the rails.
Warning! The rails must be pushed in
when the oven door is closed.
Using grids, baking plates and roasting
pan
It is important that the oven grid, the shelves
and the roasting pan are fixed between the
stops in the front and rear edges of the rails
to prevent them from falling off the rails. Place
the baking plate/roasting pan/grid in the rear
edge and fix against the front edge. The locating pin fits into a slot under the edge of the
baking plate/roasting pan, which means that
the baking plate/roasting pan is held in position. The rails must be in their pushed-in position when the grid/baking plate/roasting
pan is inserted. For the best shelf stability,
make sure that the bevelled edge is inwards
in the oven. Pull the accessories carefully
when using them so that the plate/pan/grid
does not fall off the rails. Maximum load 20
kg.
Using the oven grid
The locating pin is not needed when using
the grid. The oven grid shelf has a mark on
its upper surface. This marking must be at
the front (towards the oven door) when in
use. Make sure that food placed on the grid
is positioned behind the marking. Otherwise
there is a risk that it will not be cooked properly at the front. The grid can be placed in the
roasting pan. The maximum weight to be
placed on the grid is 10 kg.
Warning! Make sure that the locating
pin hooks in under the baking plate
edge/roasting pan and that the baking
plate/roasting pan rests on the rails,
otherwise it can fall off the rails in the
pulled-out position. When the baking
plate/roasting pan is removed in the
pulled-out position, the rails must be
pushed back again so that the oven
door can be closed. Use oven gloves
because the rails are hot.

The door lock
The door lock makes it more difficult for children to open the door. The lock is engaged
when the cooker is delivered, but can be disconnected as necessary.
To open the door
Move the lock to the right when you want to
open the door.
Disconnecting the lock
Check that the oven is not hot! Move the lock
to the right, lift up and move it further slightly
Operating the ceramic hob
The hob has four heating zones with:
• Min/Max size on the right rear zone.
• A swivel window which provides informa-
tion about the zone.
• Automax, an automatic heater whereby
the zone heats up rapidly to the heating
level you need (for cooking/roasting) without it being necessary to change the knob
setting.
• Heat warner. When you have switched off
a zone, the swivel window lights up H as
long as the zone is hotter than about 55°C.
• Automatic switch-off after a time. The
higher the heating level, the earlier the zone
is switched off.
The glass in the hob tolerates, heat, cold and
temperature shocks, but is sensitive to impact. A spice jar or grinder falling onto the
plate could crack it. Never use the hob to
stand on, off-load materials onto or use as a
storage area.

• The residual heat can be used to melt
foodstuffs or to hold food warm.
• Important! There is risk of burns as long as
the residual heat warner is alight.
• Important! In the event of a power cut, the
symbol goes out and thereby the resid-
ual heat warning. There is still the risk of
burns. Burns can be avoided by being observant.
Choice of pan/frying pan
A cooker with a ceramic glass plate makes
greater demands on your pots and pans that
a cooker with heating plates. Remember the
following:
• Check the bottoms of pots and pans. 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 pans that are made of
glass or are enamelled with deep patterns
cause more wear if they are pulled backwards and forwards on the plate than pots
and pans made of other materials.
In order to save both time and energy the
bottom of a pan or frying-pan
• must cover the zone completely. But if the
bottom is too small, then boil over can
easily stick to the plate.
• must be smooth or finely patterned.
• must 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 with
layers of different metals. Certain pans are
concave when cold but become flat when
they are heated up.

consider suitable for cooking/roasting. The
heating zone starts at the highest heat setting
and goes over automatically to the selected
setting after a certain time.
Cooking/roasting with Automax
This is how you activate the function. Note!
This must be done each time you wish to
use the automatic system.
1. Set the function Automax , A appears in
the display.
2. Then make the desired setting for cook-
ing/roasting. It takes about 5 seconds
before A lights up in the indication area.

When the time has expired, there is automatic switch-over to the set value and the
letter A is no longer shown. If the setting is
changed during heating with AUTOMAX this
function disappears and re-setting must be
carried out. In general it can be said that settings 2–5 are suitable for cooking and settings 6–8 for roasting. For heat retention, setting 1 is suitable. But, as usual, you must experiment to find the setting and heating zone
that is best for you and your pots and pans.
Here is a little advice concerning the right
heating setting and suitable heating zone.
Each zone corresponds to a number in the
