Safety
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.
Use the
button and lock the cooker when it is not being used.
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
COOKER FUNCTION LOCK. Activate the lock
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.

The safety equipment
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. 24).
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.

activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be
deactivated if necessary.
A Press the catch down when you want to open the
door.
B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first
that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the
top edge of the door downwards and then a few
millimetres to the right.
C If you wish to activate the catch again, push
the catch on the top edge of the door a few
millimetres to the left.

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.
Set the clock to the right time

The safety equipment
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 two hotplates at a time, turning their controls
to full power, and leaving them on for no more than
five minutes. Work diagonally: heat the left front and
the right rear hotplates first, then the right front and the
left rear. 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. Do not
heat the oven empty yet. Wait until you have finished
with the hotplates.
Heat the oven empty
Children should be supervised!
The cooker will get very hot.
max. 5 min.
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.

The hob
The hob
The cooker has four hotplates. Fast-heating hotplates are
marked with a red dot and have an overheating cut-out
function.
The back left hotplate cannot be used at the
same time as the Swift Start, fan-assisted or pizza
functions; this prevents a surge of power from overloading the mains.
The front left hotplate is thermostatically controlled,
and is identified by three Ts. The built-in thermostat
ensures that the hotplate maintains an even temperature
once it has reached the setting selected. This means
• that the frying pan/saucepan maintains a constant
temperature, which is important for achieving good
results.
• that you rarely have to alter the control setting
while cooking
• a minimal risk of pans boiling over
• a minimal risk of food burning onto pans, e.g.
foods containing milk

ø 180 mm
ø 145 mm
ø 220 mm
Using the hob
Never leave the cooker unattended while deep fat
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 the cooker
hood fan.
never use water.
The control setting you choose will depend on your
pans, what you are cooking and the quantity. Use the
recommendations given below as a guide and you will
soon learn the correct control settings.
The thermostatically-controlled hotplate
The control is graduated from 1 to 12 (12 is the
hottest). Turn clockwise to turn the hotplate on, and
anticlockwise to turn it off. The time it takes for the
hotplate to heat up varies according to the chosen
setting. It takes about 7 minutes for the hotplate to heat
up for frying pancakes on setting 9.
The thermostatic control works best if you use a
good frying pan/saucepan. Turn the control to the
recommended setting straight away:

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.
