Danger of burns! Hot steam may escape when you open the oven door. Be careful when you open the oven door during or after cooking. Do NOT lean over the door when you open it. Please note that depending on the temperature the steam can be invisible.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

● Always keep children away from the cooker. While in operation direct contact with the cooker may cause burns!

● Ensure that small items of household equipment, including connection leads, do not touch the hot oven or the hob as the insulation material of this equipment is usually not resistant

to high temperatures.

● Do not leave the cooker unattended when frying. Oils and fats may catch re due to

overheating or boiling over.

● Do not allow the hob to get soiled and prevent liquids from boiling over onto the surface

of the hob. This refers in particular to sugar which can react with the ceramic hob and cause irreversible damage. Any spillages should be cleaned up as they happen.

● Do not place pans with a wet bottom on the warmed up heating zones as this can cause

irreversible changes to the hob (irremovable stains).

● Use pans that are specied by the manufacturer as designed for use with a ceramic

hob.

● If any defects, deep scratches, cracks or chips appear on the ceramic hob, stop using the

cooker immediately and contact the service centre.

● Do not switch on the hob until a pan has been placed on it.

● Do not use pans with sharp edges that may cause damage to the ceramic hob.

● Do not look directly at the halogen heating zones (not covered by a pan) when they are

warming up.

● Do not put pans weighing over 15 kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25

kg on the hob.

● Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can

scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.

● Do not use the cooker in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be xed by an appropriately qualied and authorised person.

● In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power and report

the fault to the service centre to be repaired.

● Unless properly supervised by caretakers or upon thorough studies of the operating manual,

the appliance must not be operated by persons (including children) of limited physical or

psychical abilities, these of limited technical expertise, or unfamiliar with the equipment.

● Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control

panel.

 The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heat-

ing) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let’s save energy! And this is how you

can do it:

Use proper pans for cooking.

Pans with thick, at bases can save up to 1/3

on electric energy. Remember to cover pans if possible otherwise you will use four times as much energy!

Match the size of the saucepan to the surface of the heating zone.

A saucepan should never be smaller than a heating zone.

Ensure heating zones and pan bases are clean.

Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeatedly burnt–on spillages can often only be removed by products which cause damage to the environment.

 Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).

Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.

Switch off the oven in good time and make use of residual heat.

For long cooking times, switch off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before nishing cooking. This saves up to 20% on energy.

Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.

Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker hob.

 Make use of residual heat from the oven.

If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before the end time.

Important! When using the timer, set appropriately shorter cooking times according to the dish being prepared.

Only grill with the ultrafan after closing the oven door. Make sure the oven door is properly closed.

Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.

Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.

Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

INSTALLATION

Electrical connection

Warning!

All electrical work should be carried out by a

suitably qualied and authorised electrician.

No alterations or wilful changes in the electricity supply should be carried out.

Fitting guidelines

The cooker is manufactured to work with three–phase alternating current (400V 3N~50Hz). The voltage rating of the cooker heating elements is 230V. Adapting the cooker to operate with one-phase current is possible by apropriate bridging in the connection box according to the connection diagram below. The connection diagram is also found on the cover of the connection box. Remember that the connection wire should match the connection type and the power rating of the cooker.

The connection cable must be secured in a strain–relief clamp.

Warning!

Remember to connect the safety circuit to the connection box terminal marked with . The

electricity supply for the cooker must have a safety switch which enables the power to be cut off in case of emergency. The distance between the working contacts of the safety switch must be at least 3 mm. Before connecting the cooker to the power supply it is important to read the information on the data plate and the connection diagram.

OPERATION

Before rst use

Remove packaging, clean the interior of the oven and the hob.

Take out and wash the oven ttings with warm water and a little washing–up liquid.

Switch on the ventillation in the room or open a window.

Heat the oven (to a temperature of 250°C, for approx. 30 min.), remove any stains and wash carefully; the heating zones of the hob should be heated for around 4 min. without a pan.

Important!

To clean the oven, only use a cloth well rang out with warm water to

which a little washing-up liquid has

been added.

Important!

In ovens equipped with the electronic programmer Ts, the time “12.00” will

start ashing in the display eld upon

connection to the power supply.

The programmer should be set with the current time. (See Electronic programmer ). If the current time is not set operation of the oven is impossible.

The electronic prgrammer Ts is equipped

with electronic sensors which are switched on by touching or pressing the sensor surface for at least one second.

Each sensor reaction is conrmed by

the beep.Keep the sensor surface clean at all times.

OPERATION

Controlling the heating zones of the ceramic hob.

Choice of cookware

Choose a pan with a diameter that is at least as large as the heating zone. For roasting tins there is a special widened heating zone of 140x250. Do not use pans with a concave or convex base. Always remember to put a proper cover on the pan. We recommend the use of pans with thick, even bases. If the heating zones and pans are solied it is impossible to make full use of the heat.

Heat level selection

The heating zones have different levels of heat. The level of heat can be adjusted gradually

by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left.

 MIN. Warming up

1 Stewing vegetables, slow cooking

 Cooking soups, larger dishes

2 Slow frying

 Grilling meat, sh

3 MAX. Fast heating up, fast cooking, frying

OPERATION

Switching on the wider heating zone

Important!

Only switch on a heating zone by turning the knob clockwise. Turning the knob in the opposite direction can cause damage to the switch.

With the settings 0  1  2  3 the knob operates the internal heating zone and it is possible to smoothly control the amount of heat transferred to a pan. Turning the knob temporarily to the position marked causes the external heating zone to be switched on. From that point, you can smoothly control the amount of heat trasferred to a pan by both heating zones (internal and external) as the internal switch will switch both zones off only after the knob is set to position 0.

Zone heating indicator

If the temperature of a heating zone exceeds 50°C this is signalled by an indicator which lights up for that zone. When the heating indicator lights up it warns the person using the cooker against touching a hot heating zone. For about 5 to 10 minutes after a heating zone is switched off it will still have residual heat that can be used, for example to warm up or keep dishes warm without switching on another heating zone.
