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.
THIS HOW TO FIT THE ANTI-TIP
GUARD ON THE COOKER
1 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).

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 (
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.

Burn off the oven
Keep children under supervision! The cooker gets very ho t. Do not forget to remove the packing material from inside the oven.
Before you use the oven for the first time, you must burn it off. Make sure that there is good ventilation by starting the extractor fan or opening a window. Then do this:
1 Open the oven door and remove all
the accessories from the oven cavity.
2 Close the oven door. Start the oven
on Top/bottom . Turn the temperature knob to 200
3 Leave the oven at this setting for
about one hour.
4 Move over to the grill function. Turn
the function knob to Grill .
5 Leave the oven at this setting for
about 30 minutes.
6 Turn the function knob to 0 and turn
off the temperature knob.
7 Then leave the oven door open for
about two hours and air out the kitchen.
8 Clean the oven, the door and the ov en
step units with hot water and washing-up liquid. Dry the oven
There may still be a slight smell when the oven is used for the first time. This will not affect the food in any way and is not a health hazard.

Removable baking plate rails
To prevent scratches during transport, the removable baking plate rails 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.
NOTE! Make sure that t he cooker anti-tip guard is fitted, see page 8
The removable baking plate rails 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 removable rails 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 37). When fitting, the rails are first inserted in the inner hole (1) and then in the outer (2). Push into position.
M
AKE SURE THAT THE LOCATING PIN IS
TURNED TOWARDS THE OVEN DOOR
The rails must be in their pushed-in position when the oven door is closed.
.
15
Page 17
Using grids, plates and roasting pans
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. The locating pin engages in a slot under the edge of the baking plate or roasting pan which keeps the plate or roasting pan in position. The rails must be in their pushed-in position when the grid, plate or roasting pan is inserted. For the best shelf stability, make sure that the bevelled edge faces forward in the oven. Pull the accessories out carefully during use so that the shelves/roasting pa ns or tins do not fall off the rails. Maximum load 20kg (44 lb.).
Oven grid
First position the oven grid at the rear end, since this makes it easier to fix the front end. The locating pin is not used for the grid.
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.).
NOTE! Make sure that the locating pin hooks in under the edge of the shelf/roasting pan and that the shelf/ roasting pan rest s on the rails, otherwise it can fall of f the rails in the pulled-out pos ition. When the shelf/ roasting pan is removed in the pulled­out position, the rails must be pushed back again so that the oven door can be closed. Use oven gloves because the rails are hot.

Page 18
Using the ceramic glass plate
The ceramic glass plate has four heating zones. When you switch on a zone, it lights up for varying lengths of time depending on the level you have selected on the knob. Even at the highest setting, the zone will occasionally turn off in order to avoid over­heating.
The heat warning indicator has four lamps, one for each zone. A lamp lights up if the zone is hotter than about 55°C, even after it has been switched off.
The glass in the ceramic glass plate tolerates heat, cold and temperature shocks, but is sensitive to impact. A spice mill that falls onto it can crack the ceramic glass plate. Never stand on the ceramic glass plate.
17
Page 19
Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate or a cooker with a cracked timer glass.
Immediately after use (while the ceramic glass plate is still hot) use the scraper blade to remove su gar and boiled-over material with a high sugar content such as, for example, marmalade, as well as melted plasti c and foil to avoid damage to the plate.
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

, never use water.
Make sure that there is no sand, sugar or salt on the cooking utensils. Sand can cause scratches, while sugar and salt can ruin the ceramic glass plat e.
Always dry pots and pans before placing them on the ceramic gla ss plate. The coloured decor on the ceramic glass plat e can become worn and scratched in time after it has been used.
The heating zones
The knobs for the heating zones are marked from 0 to 12, where 12 provides the highest heat. Do this if you want to use the front zones or the smaller rear one:
1 Turn clockwise to the desired
position on the knob to the zone that you have chosen.
2 Zero the knob anti-clockwise after
use.
18
Page 20
Do this if you want to use the rear right-hand large heating zone:
1 Turn the knob clockwise past the
symbol after the figure 12,
2 then turn the knob back to the des ired
position between 12 and 1. Zero the
knob anti-clockwaise after use. You must experiment to find the setting and the heating zone that suits you and your pans, depending on the food that you are
preparing. Here is a little guidance (to find the right heating setting):
Choice of pan/frying pan
A cooker with a ceramic glass plate makes greater demands on your po ts and pans that a cooker with heating plates. Remember the following:
Check the bottom of the pans. Pans with a convex bottom (bulging outwards)
tend to swivel on the ceramic glass plate and provide poor heating contact.
• Aluminium has good heat conductivity, but can leave silvery marks on the plate.
• Casseroles and pans that are made of glass or are enamelled with deep patterns cause more wear if they are pulled backwards and forwards on the plate than pots and pans made of other mate rials.
19
Page 21
In order to save both time and energy the bottom of a pan or frying-pan
must cover the zone completely. But if the bottom is too small, then boil­over can easily stick to the plate.
must be s mooth or finely patterned.
must be absolutely flat. If the bottom bulges too much outwards or inwards, heating-up times become longer.
When you buy a new pot or pan, it is advisable to choose a stainless steel model with a sandwich bottom, that is to say a bottom with layers of different metals. Certain pans are concave when cold but become flat when they are heated up.
Save energy!
Use a lid and you halve the energy requirements (compared with cooking
without a lid).
Use pans with flat bottoms and save 25% energy (compared with uneven bottoms).
Make sure that the ceramic glass plate is clean and dry. Dirt and liquids impair heat transfer between the pan and the heating zone.
Switch off the heating zone and let the food finish cooking on the residual heat.
Steaming and pressure cooking also save energy.
20

Using the oven
It is normal for steam and condensation to form on the oven door. This condensation is from the food being cooked and does not influence safety or oven function.
The oven is fitted with removable shelf rails with five levels

Practical use
Never lay aluminium foil, a baking tray or a shelf directly on the bottom of the oven. If the bottom heater is blocked, the ena m el can be damaged by over-heating. The oven becomes hot when used,
KEEP AN EYE ON CHILDREN
In the case of temperature changes and/or food such as pizza being unevenly placed on a shelf, there is risk that the shelf will warp. The shelf will return to its original form when it cools down.
How do you utilise the v ari ous fu ncti ons when you use the oven ? He r e i s some useful advice and a few tips about the best way to utilise the different oven functions for various types of food preparation:
Baking
Test sponge cakes with a cooking needle about five minutes before the end of the cooking time. Then you have the opportunity to shorten or lengthen the cooking time. The result can be affected by the recipe and the material, colour, shape and size of the cake tin.
.
THE
PRINCIPLE OF HOT AIR
An annular heating element round the fan heats up then air, which is then spread through the air channels in the oven rear wall by the fan. The hot air circulates in the oven before it is once again sucked in through the fan grille.
The heat is transferred quickly and effectively, which often means that you can use a lower oven temperature than in the case of top and bottom heating. Decrease the temperature by 15-20% if the recipe says you should use a temperature of between 160 and 225°C. The higher the temperature, the greater the decrease. At temperatures
26
Page 28
over 225°C it is better to use upper and lower heating.
Baking with hot air

is used for cooking at several levels at the same time, for example meat loaf and meat balls as well as for the preparation of complete meals, starters, main courses and dessert. Remember to choose courses that are to have the same temperature. If the courses require different times, adapt the time that you put them in the oven so that they are ready to serve in the order you wish.

Turbo Max. Grill (browning)
Using the hot air grill means that the food is ready faster and has more even colouring than when using the grill function. the grill heating element provides more even colouring and the fan circulates the hot air. Perfect for use with “high” courses, for example grilling pork, which is to have the same colour all round.
Pie/pizza position
This function is excellent for the preparation of pies, gratin or pizza. When preparing pizza, place it in the middle slot. Use a baking shelf instead of a roasting pan to prevent the edges from being burned.
When light-coloured tins or glass forms are used, place the food in the lower part of the oven, and when using dar k-coloured forms, for example with non-stick coating, place the food in the middle of the oven.
28
Page 30
Max. Grill
The size, marble pattern (streaks of fat), the shape, quantity and temperature of the meat to be grilled all affect the time and the result. Fish and white meat (poultry, veal and pork) do not brown as easily as red meat (beef and game). Grill oil and/or grill spices provide a better colour but increase the risk of burning the surface of the meat.
The best grilling result is reached if the meat to be grilled does not come directly from the refrigerator. Dry it, put it on the oven grid and season as desired. Place a roasting pan, preferably lined with aluminium foil, under the grill to catch the fat, etc. that drips off. Pork chops, steaks, fish fillets, etc. should be placed high up in the oven while thick spare ribs, etc. should be placed in the lower part of the oven.
Set the function knob at and the thermostat knob at the desired temperature, max 250ºC. Start grilling after 3-5 minutes pre-heating. Watch carefully, and turn over at least once during cooking. Grilling for too long gives dry, tough and, in the worst case, burnt food. The oven do or must be closed during grilling.
Defrost
Set the function knob at . When defrosting meat, fish and glazed or filled baked products, the thermostat knob should be at zero.
Grids and plates can be placed at different levels if there is a lot to defrost. Time cannot be specified, check with a probe.

Cleaning and care
Never use a steam cleaner when cleaning the cooker!
Cleaning the cooker
The easiest way to clean the cooker is by using a clean cloth, hot water and a little washing-up liquid directly after the oven has been used.
OTHER ABRASIVE AGENTSL
Knobs and handles
NEVER USE SCOURING AGENTS OR
.
Remember that the anti-tip guard does not function when you have pulled out the cooker in order to clean behind it.
Never put a hot rosing pan/ bakingtray/pan to close to the knob s because they can be damaged by the heat.
Never use scouring agents or other abrasive agents, such as sponges with an abrasive surface. Only use soft sponges or cloths.
Never try to remove a knob from the panel on the cooker since this implies a safety risk and can cause damage.

Practical advice and tips
Problem Cause Remedy
Bread/yeasted doughs and sponge cakes fall flat.
Bread/yeasted doughs and sponge cakes turn out dry.
If the oven temperature is too low, the dough can rise and then go down again and become flat.
Bread/yeasted doughs have not risen properly. Excessively long rising time after rolling out can give a flat result. Bread/yeasted doughs should rise at room temperature, out of draughts. The dough should spring back after light pressure on the surface.
Not enough yeast or baking powder.
If the fat/liquid mixture is too hot, it ruins the effect of the yeast.
Not enough liquid, too much flour, or the wrong type of flour can result in dry bread.
If the oven temperature is too low, the material being baked must remain in the oven much longer to be cooked, and it therefore becomes dry.
Check the set temperature against recommendations in tables or recipes.
Check the rising times against recommendations in recipes.
Check in the recipe that you have taken the right amount.
The correct temperature of the liquid for fresh yeast is 37°, concerning dry yeast see the recommendations on the packet.
Check in the recipe that you have taken the right amounts of flour and liquid.
Check that you have set the right temperature.
44
Page 46
Cakes/oven dishes are too brown.
If the oven temperature is too high, the cakes/oven dishes become too brown before they are completely cooked.
Food positioned too high in the oven is receiving too much top heating, when using top and bottom heating, and the opposite effect when placed too low.
Check that you have set the right temperature.
Check in the table or recipe that you have chosen the correct position.
Cakes/oven dishes are pale in colour.
Aluminium foil, a tray or a roasting pan on the bottom of the oven is blocking the bottom heating.
Light-coloured baking tins produce paler cakes than dark-coloured tins.
Make sure that there is nothing in the bottom of the oven.
Change to darker-coloured baking tins.
