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.

Page 18
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.

Safety switch-off of the cooking zones
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or the heating setting is not changed, the cooking zone concerned is switched off automatically.
Residual heating is shown by (“hot”) in the digital display for the cooking zone concerned. The cooking zones are switched off automatically in accordance with the following timetable:
Setting , , after 6 hours
Setting , after 5 hours
Setting after 4 hours
Setting , , , after 1.5 hours
If one or more of the cooking zones should shut off before the expiration of the stated time, see the chapter “Problems and remedies”
Residual heat warner
After one or more heating zones have been switched off, the digital display shows the
residual heat (“Hot”) for the respective cooking zone. Even after the hob has been switched off, the display does not go out until the cooking zones have cooled down.
The residual heat can be used to melt foodstuffs or to hold food warm.
Important! There is risk of burns as long as the residual heat warner is alight.
Important! In the event of a power cut, the symbol goes out and
thereby the residual heat warning. There is still the rusk of burns. Burns can be avoided by being observant.

Page 25
Choice of pan/frying pan
A cooker with a ceramic glass plate makes greater demands on your pots and pans that a cooker with heating plates. Remember the following:
Check the bottoms of pots and 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.
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 new pans, 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.
24
Page 26
Save energy!
Use a lid and you halve the energy requirements (compared with usi ng 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.

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 enamel 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 t he v ari ou s fu nct ion s when you use the oven? Here is 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 the 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. Lower the temperature by 15-20% if the recipe says that you should use a temperature of between 160 and 225°C. The higher the temperature, the greater the decrease. At temperatures over 225°C it is better to use upper and lower heating.
35
Page 37
Baking with hot air
With hot air, baking becomes more rational, since two plates used at the same time in the oven means a shorter overall baking time. Browning can be rather uneven, especially if the rolled-out dough has not risen properly. Was the result not what you expected? Read “Practical advice & tips” on page, for tips to solve your baking problems.
Cooking
Follow the recommendations in the table.
Cooking with hot air
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.

Roasting
Roasting in the oven is convenient and practical with both

BOTTOM
. Beef steaks, such as roast beef and fillets, are juiciest when cooked at 125°C, but take a little longer time than at a higher oven temperature. Choose an oven-proof dish with low edges into which the roast just fits, this avoids the stock from drying in. Roastin g a ham o ft en results in alot of stock. Therefore use a large roasting dish or roasting pan and be careful when removing it from the oven.
If you use a roasting bag, cut a hole in one corner of the bag before placing it in the oven. This decreases the risk of burns from hot steam when the bag is opened.
Using the roasting thermomneter
Be careful not to bur n yourself on the heating coils in the top of the oven, or on the oven st ep units when you co nne ct or di scon nec t th e contact to the roasting thermometer. Use oven gloves.
The roasting thermometer tolerates temperatures of between 30 and 99°C. Before starting the oven, remove the cover cap that protects the thermometer outlet from dirt. Use only the original thermometer and make sure that no part of the thermometer comes into contact with the top heating element.
For the best result, the tip o f th e thermometer must be in the cent re of the thickest part of the steak which the heat reaches last. Oven h eat in flu en ces t he thermometer, th ere fo re th e wh o le t ub e must be inside the meat. Remember that the thermometer can show the wron g temperature if it comes into contact with fat or bone.

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 Max. grill and 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 l ong g i ves dr y, tough and, in the worst case, burnt food. The oven door must be closed during grilling.
Turbo Max. Grill (gratin preparation)
Using the hot air grill means that the food is ready faster and has a more even colouring than by using the grill function. Grill the 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 setting
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.
Low temperature roasting
Set the oven function and the desired temperature (120°C or 150
temperature roasting is used for food that tolerates cooking at low temperature for a longer time, approx 4-5 hours. When roasting small steaks, complete fillets or thick beef, they should be quickly browned before being placed in the oven. When planning cooking, remember that it takes time before the food is ready.
Beef, pork, game and lamb steaks can be cooked to advantage during the night. It is advisable to use a roasting thermometer.

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.
56
Page 58
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.
The Quick start is switched on.
Check that you have set the right temperature.
Check in the table or recipe that you have chosen the correct position.
Check that you have turned the function knob to the desired function.
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.
