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.

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

When using the cooker
Never use the ceramic hob if it is cracked, as water from
spillages and/or cleaning could penetrate down to live
conductors. If the hob is damaged, disconnect the cooker
from the electrical supply and contact your service centre
to have the cooker repaired.
Never place aluminium foil, plastics etc. on the ceramic
hob. If a hotplate is switched on by mistake, these
materials will rapidly start to burn or melt.
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
PLEASE READ THESE TEXTS CAREFULLY
off all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID
Use only pans which are intended for ceramic hobs.
Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven.
Check the bases of your pans. Pans with convex bases are
poor conductors of heat, and also tend to spin easily on
the flat ceramic hob.
Check that the cooker is switched off when not in use.
All controls should be turned off.
Warning! Alcohol and other liquids that can
form explosive gases, or other substances that
could cause a fire or explosion, must not be
used in the oven.
Great care must be taken when using such liquids and
substances on the hob. For example, when preparing food
on the hob with flaming brandy, or any other type of alcohol, there is always a risk that fat particles in the hob fan
may catch fire with serious consequences. Flames and
burning fat spills can also cause personal injury.

, so that you
Cleaning
Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages
give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst,
can cause fires.
Use the scraper to remove immediately (while the hob
is still warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and
melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob if left.
Be careful as the razor blade is extremely sharp.
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.

)
. 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. 23).
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 ceramic hob
The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (heating zones).
Even with the control still turned on during cooking, these
areas may be seen to switch off and on at intervals,
depending partly on the heat setting used. This switching
can also occur with the control turned to its maximum
setting, to prevent overheating.
If you have a 230-volt cooker, you cannot use the rear
left heating zone at the same time as the oven Swift Start
function. The cooker has an electrical interlock to prevent
a circuit overload.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A heating
zone light will remain on, even after the heating zone
control has been switched off, until the heating zone
temperature falls below about 55°C.
The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid
temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact.
A pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never
stand or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a storage
space.

Using the hob
NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED
Water from spillages could seep through to the
live conductors. Disconnect the cooker and contact your service centre to have the cooker
repaired. Use the scraper to remove immediately
(while the hob is still warm) spilt sugar or syrups
(e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can
damage the hob if left. Never leave the cooker
unattended while deep fat frying, melting fats,
paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In
the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and the
cooker hood fan.

, never use water.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN
The heating zone controls are graduated from 0 to 12
(12 is the hottest). They can be turned both clockwise
and anticlockwise.
TO USE THE HOB
1
Turn the control for the heating zone you are
:
going to use.
2
Reset the control after use.
Which heat setting should you use? You will soon
learn which setting and heating zone to choose
depending on your pans and what you are cooking.
Here is a brief guide to choosing the correct setting:

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:
The ceramic hob
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.
Frying
It is best when frying not to use food that has come
straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the
bottom of the pan should be covered by food.
Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and
turn on to the recommended heat. In order to get the
best results, it is important that the fat is the right
colour (temperature) when you start frying. Hold a
light-coloured spatula to the bottom of the pan to see
the colour of the fat.
LIGHTLY BROWNED FAT
: Suitable for eggs, onions, raw
potatoes, chops and steaks and whole fish, etc.
BROWNED FAT
: Suitable for frying most foods such as
pancakes, minced meats, sausages, thin fish fillets and
stewing steak.
WELL BROWNED FAT
: Suitable for thin steaks. Be careful
as the fat can easily become burnt.

Choosing suitable pans
Greater attention needs to be paid to the type and condition of pans used on ceramic hobs than it does with
radiant hobs. Here are some points to remember:
•Check the pan bases. Bases which are convex (curve
outwards) will tend to spin on the hob and will not
conduct heat very well.
• Aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but it
can leave silver-coloured stains on the hob. You
can remove these stains with the hob cleaner
supplied with the cooker.
• Glass vessels and enamelled bases with a rough
pattern will – if pulled back and forth across the
surface – cause greater wear on the hob than
other materials.
To save you time and therefore energy, the contact
surface of the pan base should:
•be at least as large as the hotplate. If the base is
smaller than the hotplate, any spillages are quite
likely to burn onto the hob.
•be smooth or have a fine pattern
•be flat. It takes longer to heat a pan with a base
which curves in or outwards too much.
When you are buying new pans, it is advisable to
choose stainless steel ones with sandwich-type bases
(i.e. layers of different metals).

Save energy!
•Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy
used by half (compared to cooking without lids).
•Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy
(compared to uneven based pans).
•Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and
moisture reduce heat transfer between pans and
hotplates.
•Turn the hotplates off and finish cooking using
the remaining heat.
•Save energy by steaming and pressure-cooking.
