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 fit-
ted and the vated.
Do not let children use the razor blade scraper.
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.

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.
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 off all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water.
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.
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
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.
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. 17).
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.

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.
NEVER USE
Wash the accessories
Wash the baking tray, oven dish etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.
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.

The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). 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.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate light will remain on, even after the hotplate control has been switched off, until the hotplate 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.
LID, never use water.
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.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN

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:
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.
The ceramic hob
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.

The ceramic hob
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.
aluminium
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.
10
Cleaning the ceramic hob
Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left.
IF THE HOB IS VERY SOILED:
1 Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see
below).
2 Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning
lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob. Rub clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.
3 Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is next used. Wipe the hob dry.
The ceramic hob
The razor blade scraper:
KEEP THE SCRAPER AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Use the
razor blade scraper carefully. The razor blade is extremely sharp.
Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob. You will have to turn the razor blade round before using it for the first time since it has been reversed for transport safety reasons. There is a protective cover for the sharp razor blade when the scraper is not being used.
1 Press down the button on the top of the scraper and
push it forwards as far as it will go (see illustration).
2 Remove the razor blade. Replace the blade with the
sharp edge outwards.
3 “Lock” the blade with the tabs on the scraper
(see illustration).
4 Press the button down hard and push it backwards as
far as it will go.
11
The ceramic hob
TO USE THE SCRAPER, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Expose the razor blade by pushing the button (on the
top of the scraper) forwards to “stop” (see illustration). You can check the razor blade is locked into position by pushing the blade down onto a hard surface.
2 Make sure the razor blade is clean and not worn other-
wise it might damage the hob. New razor blades can be bought from drugstores.
3 Angle the scraper at approx. 45° and scrap away the
spillage. The razor blade can be pressed down hard onto the hob without causing any damage.
4 Use kitchen roll paper to wipe clean the blade carefully. 5 When you have finished, press down the button and
push it backwards as far as it will go. Keep the scraper out of the reach of children.

The oven
The oven has removable side racks for the shelves with three rungs on each side.
The functions of the oven
For all oven functions, the indicator light comes on when the oven is heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the thermo­stat switches in and out). To choose an oven function, turn the function control clockwise to the symbol for the desired function (see below).
The oven
THE OVEN FUNCTIONS ARE:
Oven light
The oven light comes on automatically for all settings. You can also have just the light on without any of the other functions being turned on.
Top/bottom heat
Using both top and bottom elements.
Top element
Using the element at the top of the oven.
Bottom element
Using the element at the bottom of the oven.
Grill
Using the grilling element.
Swift start
Using the grilling and bottom element. It takes approx. seven minutes to heat the oven to 200ºC. Can also be used for “au gratin” dishes.
13
The oven
Practical use
Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Block­ing heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through overheating. The oven gets hot when in use:
SUPERVISED.
The baking tray may warp temporarily due to tempera­ture fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.
How does one know which oven functions to use in different situations? See below for practical advice on how to efficiently use the oven functions for various ways of cooking:
Baking
Use a skewer to check whether sponge cakes are ready when there are about 5 minutes left. You can then shorten or lengthen the baking time. The material, colour, shape and size of the baking tins as well as the recipe can affect results. even colour.
CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE
TOP/BOTTOM HEAT gives an
Cooking
TOP/BOTTOM HEAT is normally best when using an oven
shelf.
Roasting
Roasting is a practical and convenient method of cooking. Joints of beef such as topside and sirloin retain their natural juices best if roasted at 125°C, but this does take longer than at a higher temperature. Choose an ovenproof dish which is only just big enough for the joint, to prevent the meat juices which collect in the dish (e.g. for gravy) from evaporating. Use a large roasting pan or ovenproof dish when roast­ing a joint of ham as there is usually a lot of meat.
Grilling
Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling, and even the initial temperature of the meat all affect the outcome and time of the grilling process. Fish, poultry, veal and pork will not brown as much as the darker meats such as beef and game. Vegetable oil and/or sea­soning will improve the colour, but it also increases the risk of surface burning.
For best results, avoid grilling food straight from the refrigerator. Dry the surface of the meat, place it on the oven shelf and season to taste. Place an oven dish,
14
ideally lined with foil, underneath the shelf to catch the fat etc. which runs off. Pork chops, steaks and fish should be grilled high up in the oven, while meats such as thick spare ribs are better lower down.
Set the function control to and the temperature
control to the temperature require (250ºC maximum). Preheat the grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the food, and turn it at least once. Grilling for too long makes food dry, dull, and possibly burnt as well. The oven door should be closed when grilling.
Browning (swift start)
Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sand­wiches, etc. You can also use this function to heat the oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven has reached that temperature, you can then select whichever function is required. It takes about 8 min­utes to reach 200ºC. However, do not use this method of rapid heating when baking biscuits or meringues.

Cleaning and maintenance
The oven
The oven surfaces are of vitreous enamel. The outer section, the door front, can easily be removed for cleaning (see “The oven door” below).
IF THE OVEN IS VERY SOILED:
1 Use a spatula or similar implement to remove
spillages which have hardened.
2 Use a sponge to spread soft soap inside the
oven.
3 Close the door. Set the oven to (top/bottom
heat) and 100°C for about 10 minutes.
4 When the oven has cooled, wash the surfaces
with clean water. Rub gently with a soapimpreg-
nated steelwool pad on stubborn patches. Wipe
the surfaces dry.
The oven door
The oven door consists of two sections with heat­reflecting glass for a lower surface temperature. The outer section, the door front, can be removed for cleaning.
Take care not to damage the panes of glass. Small cracks at the edges can cause an entire pane to crack after it has been heated a few times.
