Children and the cooker
Children are by nature inquisitive and
interested in most things, including the
cooker. In the interests of safety, we
should like to mention a few things that
you should think about if you have
children or children come to visit:
There must be a bench surface at least
40 cm (16") wide on both sides of the
cooker.
If you have a
your cooker, then this must be fitted .
DOOR LOCK
Never allow children to use the bladescraper.
Let children help you at the cooker,
but teach them that pots and pans, hobs
and ovens become very hot and retain
heat for some time after use.

for
Use
Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate.
Liquids could, if they b oi l ov er, or during
cleaning, penetrate down into the live
electrical components. Disconnect the
4
electricity to the cooker and contact
service for repairs.
Never lay aluminium foil, plastic
material or similar on the ceramic glass
plate. If a heating zone is turned on by
mistake, paper/plastic could burn or melt.
Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting
fat, paraffin or other easily ignited
material without supervision. in the event
of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and
switch off the extractor fan.
THE FIRE WITH A POT LID
Never stand on the ceramic glass
plate.
Check that the cooker is properly
turned off when not in use, with all the
knobs at zero.
Warning! Alcohol and similar
substances, which can form explosive
gases, or other substances that can cause a
fire or exp losion must not be used in the
oven.
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 fact in the
extractor fan igniting and causing serious
fires. In the same way, flames and
burning fat can cause injuries.
Do not place chemicals or cleaning
agents in the drawer.
EXTINGUISH
, never use water.
Cleaning
Keep the ceramic glass plate and the ov en
clean. Fat and spilled material can cause
much smoke when heated and are also a
possible fire hazard.
While the oven is still hot, you must
use the scraper blade immediately to
remove sugar and boiled-over material
with a high sugar content, for example
marmalade, as well as melted plastic and
foil to avoid damaging the ceramic glass
plate. Be careful,the blade scraper is very
sharp.
Maintenance & service
Turn all the knobs to zero before
replacing a burned-out oven light bulb.
Before you change the bulb, make sure
that the cooker is disconnected from the
mains. For cookers with a cable, pull out
the plug. For other cookers, disconnect
the power supply by using the universal
pole switch.
Service and repairs should be carried
out by a company that is approved by the
supplier. Use only original spare parts.

Adjusting the level
The cooker must stand level, for example to
ensure that fat is evenly divided in the
frying-pan. Place a spirit level or a frying
pan containing water on the ceramic glass
plate when you want to check whether the
cooker is level.
If necessary, from the front of the plinth,
you can adjust the cooker wheels and feet by
15 mm. Use a screwdriver to adjust the rear
wheels and a Polygrip for the front feet.

The anti-tip guard
The anti-tip guard must be fitted to
prevent the cooker from tipping under
abnormal loading.
The anti-tip guard only functions
when the cooker has been pushed
into position.
HOW TO FIT THE ANTI-TIP GUARD
ON THE COOKER
:
Before fitting the anti-tip guard, make
sure that the cooker has been
adjusted to the correct height and
is standing level (see page 7).
2 The attachment (B) is fitted to the
left side when delivered. Measure
out where the anti-tip guard (A) is
to be located, 60 mm (2.4") down
from the edge of the ceramic glass
plate and 50 mm (2.0") from the
wall(cupboard). Screw it firmly
into solid material or use suitable
reinforcement. The entire anti-tip
guard (A+B) can also be located
on the right-hand side (
SEE FIG
. 1).
Make sure that the surface
behind the cooker is smooth.
If there are tiles or a moulding
behind
the edge of the ceramic
glass plate then there must be a
space with the same dimension
between the anti-tip guard and
the wall. This is so that the antitip guard is firmly attached to
the cooker and functions
correctly.

Removable telescopic runners
To prevent scratches during transport,
the telescopic runners are delivered
with a protective film. This coating
must be removed from the rails
before they are used, otherwise it can
burn fast and damage the rails.
CAUTION! Make sure that the
cooker anti-tip guard is fitted, see
page 8
The telescopic runners replace the ordinary
oven step units which are fitted when the
cooker is delivered. They 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 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.
Fitting the rails
First remove the oven step units that are
fitted (see page 49). When fitting, the rails
are first inserted in the inner hole (1) and
then in the outer (2). Push into position.
NOTE THAT THE LOCATING PIN IS TURNED OUTWARDS AND FORWARDS
The rails must be in their pushed-in
position when the oven door is
closed.
16
.
Using grids, baking plates and roasting pan
It is important for the oven grid, the baking
plate and the roasting pan to be fixed
between the stops at 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 fr ont
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 are held in position.The rails must be in
their pushed-in position when the grid/
baking plate/roasting pan are 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 20kg (44 lb.).
Using the oven grid
The locating pin is not used for the gr id. The
oven grid has a marking 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
10kg (22 lb.).
CAUTION! Make sure that the
locating pin hooks in under the shelf/
roasting pan and that the shel f/
roasting pan rests on the rails,
otherwise it can fall of f the rails i n the
pulled-out position. When the shelf/
roasting pan is remo ve d in the pu lle dout position, the rails must be pu shed
back again so that the oven door can
be closed. Use oven gloves because
the rails are hot.

Using the ceramic glass plate
The hob can not be used if the oven is not switched on, see page 27.
The hob has four heating zones with:
•

The higher the heating level, the
earlier the zone is switched off.
When you switch on a zone, it lights up for
varying lengths of time depending on the
level you have selected o n the kno b. In order
to prevent over-heating the zone occasionally
goes out, even in the highest heating
position.
The glass in the hob tolerates heat, cold
and temperature shocks, but is sensitive to
impact. If a spice mill or a spice jar falls
onto it, the glass hob can crack. Never use
the hob to stand on, off-load materials onto
or use as a storage area.
