Child Safety
• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.
Safety during use
• This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking,
roasting and baking of food.
• Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
• Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods
in fat or oil (e. g. chips), you should watch the cooking process.
• If you are using cookware with a long handle, turn the handle so that
it does not project over the ring. Make sure that the handle is not positioned over a hot or warm cooking zone.
• Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this
appliance. Electrical leads should not be allowed to come near the
rings or to become caught under the hot oven door.
• Switch the hotplates off after each use.
• Warning: Risk of burns! The interior surfaces of the oven become
very hot during use.
5
Page 6
• If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful
when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or
naked flames when doing so.
3 Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health
risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest
possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.
How to avoid damage to the appliance
• The hob must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.
• Before opening the decorative lid, any spills must be cleaned from the
lid.
• Do not operate the hot plates with empty cookware or without cookware.
• Make sure that no acidic liquids, e. g. vinegar, lemon or limescale removing agents, get onto the hob, as otherwise this will cause matt
patches.
• Pointed objects and hard objects that fall onto the cooking surface
can damage it.
• Keep all objects and materials that might melt well away from the
hob, e. g. plastics, tin foils or oven foils.
• 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.
• Fruit juices dripping from the baking tray will leave stains, which you
will not be able to remove. For very moist cakes, use a deep tray.
• Do not put any strain on the oven door when open.
• Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could
cause damage to or discoloration of the enamel.
• Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can
cause the glass to break.
• Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven is switched on.
• Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.

Using the Rings
General Instructions:
• Quick hotplates are distinguished from normal hotplates by their
higher power. They are indicated by a red dot which disappears after
a while after heating and cleaning.
• Because of condensation and the beginnings of rust formation,
please do not place wet saucepan lids on the hotplate and do not
leave hot pans to cool on the hotplate.
1 Keep all objects and materials that might melt well away from the hob,
e. g. plastics, tin foils or oven foils.
Heat settings
You can set the heat settings from 0,5 – 3.
0,5 = lowest power
3 = highest power
2 Switch the cooking zone off approx. 5-10 minutes before cooking is
finished to make use of the residual heat. This saves electricity.

Inserting the Oven Shelf and the Baking Tray
3 Shelf runner safety and anti-tip device
As a shelf runner safety device, all insertable components have a small
curved indentation at the bottom on the right and left-hand edge.
Always insert insertable components so that this indentation is at the
back of the oven interior. This indentation is also important for preventing the insertable components from tipping.
Inserting the baking tray
Push the baking tray between the
guide bars of the selected oven level.
Inserting the oven shelf:
Insert the oven shelf so that the
feet point downwards.
Push the oven shelf between the
guide bars of the selected oven level.
3 The high rim around the oven shelf
is an additional device to prevent
cookware from slipping.
Inserting the oven shelf and the
baking tray together:
Lay the oven shelf on the baking
tray.
Push the baking tray between the
guide bars of the selected oven level.

Uses, Tables and Tips
Pans
• The better the pan, the better the results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as
thick and flat as possible.
• When buying new pans pay particular attention to the diameter of
the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper
rim.
• When cold, pan bases are normal-
ly bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be
bowed outwards (convex).
2 Energy saving tips
You will save valuable energy if you observe the following tips:
• Always place pots and pans on the hotplate before switching it on.
• Soiled hotplates and pan bases cause increased power consumption.
• If possible, always fit pans with a
lid.
• Switch off the hotplates before
the end of cooking to make use of
the residual heat, e.g., to keep
food warm or for melting.
• The pan base should be the same
size as the hotplate.
• By using a pressure cooker cook-
ing times can be reduced by up to
50%.

3 We recommend when boiling or searing foods using the highest heat
setting at first and then letting foods requiring a longer cooking time
finish cooking on the desired heat setting.
1 Overheated fats and oils can ignite quickly. If you are cooking foods in
fat or oil (e.g. chips), remain nearby.
Baking
Oven function: Fan-assisted circulation or Conventional
Baking tins
• For Conventional , dark metal and non-stick tins are suitable.
• For Fan-assisted circulation bright metal tins are also suitable.
Oven levels
• Baking with Conventional is only possible on one level.
• With Fan-assisted circulation you can bake dry cakes and biscuits
on 2 baking trays at the same time.
1 baking tray:
e.g. oven level 3
1 cake tin:
e.g. oven level 1
2 baking trays:
e. g. oven levels 1 and 3
19
Page 20
General Instructions
• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
• With Conventional or Fan-assisted circulation you can also
bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same
time. This does not significantly increase baking time.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cook-
ing. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the
freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays
have cooled the distortion will disappear again.
How to use the Baking Tables
The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and
oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will
depend on the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the
type of cake tin.
• We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then
if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking
time is too long, selecting a higher temperature.
• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the
one that is most similar.
• If baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, bak-
ing time can be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one
level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate
at first. If this occurs, please do not change the temperature set-
ting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses.
2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 min-
utes before the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual
heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that
cooking is started with the oven cold.

Roasting
Oven function: Conventional or Rothitherm
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for roasting. (Please
read the manufacturer's instructions.)
• For all lean meats, we recommend roasting these in a roasting tin
or dish with a lid. The meat will be more succulent.
• All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be
roasted in a roasting tin or dish without a lid.
3 Tips on using the Roasting Table
The information given in the following table is for guidance only.
• We recommend cooking meat and fish weighing 1kg or more in the
oven.
• To prevent meat juices or fat from burning onto the ovenware, we
recommend adding some liquid.
• If required, turn the roast (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during
roasting. This will give better roasting results.
• You can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the
roasting time, in order to utilise the residual heat.

Making Preserves
Oven function: Bottom heat
• For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the
same size.
• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not
suitable.
• When making preserves, the first shelf position from the bottom is
the one most used.
• Use the shelf for making preserves. There is enough room on this for
up to six 1-litre preserving jars.
• The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
• Place the jars on the baking tray in such a way that they are not
touching each other.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that sufficient
moisture is produced in the oven.
• As soon as the liquid starts to pearl in the first jars (after about 3560 minutes with 1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the temperature to 100°C (see table).
