Safety

Cooker development has progressed rapidly. You cannot always use your new cooker in the same way as your old one. For this reason, you should read the instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with your new cooker and what it can do. The cooker is intended for normal household use. Please let us know if you have views or questions about your cooker and its use. You can find our address and telephone number in the “Service” chapter.

Text marked with a WARNING TRIANGLE concerns safety. READ THIS TEXT VERY

CAREFULLY, so that you do not injure yourself or others, or damage the cooker.

Unpacking

Check that the cooker is in perfect condition and not damaged. You must notify the dealer immediately of any damage that has occurred during transport. For direct deliveries, any transport damage must be notified to Customer Services within seven days according to the freight note.

The packaging can be recycled. Contact your local authority if you do not know where you can deposit it.

Do not forget to remove packing material from inside the oven before it is used.

Installation

Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by a QUALIFIED EXPERT. Any work carried out by non-qualified people can mean poorer cooker performance and result in personal injury and/or damage to property.

For cookers with a plug: Make sure that the plug is completely pushed into the mains socket.

The cooker is heavy. Edges and corners with which you do not normally come into contact, can be sharp. Use gloves when moving the cooker.

THE ANTI-TIP GUARD must be fitted so

that you avoid the cooker tipping when subjected to abnormal loading.

IMPORTANT! Do not place the cooker on an extra plinth or other heightincreasing unit. This means more risk that the cooker will tip over!

Children and the cooker

Children are by nature curious and interested in most things, even cookers. In the interests of safety, we should like to mention a few things that you should think about if you have children or children come to visit:

There must be a clear surface of at least 40 cm (16") on both sides of the cooker.

If you have a HEATING PLATE GUARD for

your cooker, then this must be fitted. THE DOOR LOCK must also function properly.

Never allow children to use the bladescraper.

Let children help you at the cooker, but teach them that pots and pans, hobs and ovens become very hot and retain heat for some time after use. TOUCHING

THEM CAN RESULT IN BURNS.

How to use

The appliance get hot during use. Do not touch the hob or the heatingelements inside the oven when the appliance is in use. Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate. Liquids could, if they boil over, or during cleaning, penetrate down into the live electrical components. Switch off the

power supply to the cooker and contact Service for repairs.

Never place metal objects such as lids, knives and spoons on the hob. They become hot if a heating zone is switched on by mistake.

Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat, paraffin or other easily flammable substance unattended. In the event of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and switch off

the fan. EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A POT

LID, never use water.

Use only pans intended for use with an induction hob or oven.

Check the bottoms of pots and pans. Pans which bulge outwards tend to swivel easily on the ceramic glass hob.

Check that the cooker is switched off when not in use. All the knobs should be turned to zero.

Warning! Alcohol and similar substances, which can form explosive gases, or other substances that can cause a fire or explosion must not be used in the oven.

The ceramic glass plate must be used with the greatest care. For example, flaming with brandy or other forms of alcohol can result in traces of fat in the fan igniting and causing serious fires. Similarly, flames and burning fat spills can cause injury to people.

Do not keep chemicals or cleaning agents in the storage drawer.

Cleaning

Keep the ceramic glass hob and oven clean. Fat and spilled material can cause much smoke when heated and are also a possible fire hazard.

Immediately after use (while the plate is still hot) clean with the blade scraper to remove sugar and spills with a high sugar content, such as marmalade, and also any melted plastic or foil, in order to avoid

damage to the hob. Be careful, the blade scraper is extremely sharp.

Maintenance and service

Turn all knobs to zero before replacing a defective oven light bulb.

Service and repairs should only be carried out by a repair company approved by the supplier. Use only genuine spare parts.

For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Installation

Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by a QUALIFIED EXPERT. The cooker is heavy. Edges and corners, with which you do not normally come into contact, can be sharp. USE GLOVES WHEN MOVING

THE COOKER.

When delivered, the cooker is adjusted to a bench height of 900 mm (35.4"). The cooker has a telescopic plinth. You can change the height so that the cooker suits a bench height from 848 mm (33.4") up to 933 mm (36.7").

Take care when positioning the cooker that you do not block the ventilation outlets (behind the cooker and at the top behind the hood), the cooker must not be pushed in under a tiled edge or similar.

The cooker must have a clearance on both sides (see Safety).

Make sure that the cooker cable does not get crushed when moving the cooker.

Adjusting the height of the base

If you wish to adjust the height, please read the following points before you start.

1 Lay down the cooker gently

(SEE ILLUSTRATION). Use, for example,
the polystyrene from the packaging						A
						A
between the cooker and the floor as						A
protection. Remember to locate a						A
protection. Remember to locate a
protective layer under the lower rear		A
corners of the cooker sides to protect					A
the floor.
2 Unscrew the screws A (4 SCREWS, SEE
ILLUSTRATION). Pull out the inner base
slightly if you only wish to change the	A	14
height. Pull the brackets on which the		14	7	7	14	14	14
height. Pull the brackets on which the			7			14	14

wheels and feet are fitted. NOTE! Be
careful, there are sharp edges under the
cooker.		920
3 Screw in the screws again A in one of		920			850
3 Screw in the screws again A in one of
the holes for a bench height of 850 to

920 mm (33.4" to 36.2"). The distance between the holes varies between

7 mm (0.28") and 14 mm (0.51") (see illustration a).

4Lift the cooker upright and connect it up to the mains. Push the cooker back into position and make sure that it is absolutely level before fitting the safety equipment.

Horizontal adjustment

The cooker must be level so that, for example, fat spreads evenly in the frying pan. Place a spirit level or a frying pan containing water on the ceramic glass plate when you want to check whether the cooker is level.

If necessary, from the front of the plinth, you can adjust the cooker wheels and feet by 15 mm (0.6"). Use a screwdriver to adjust the rear wheels and a Polygrip for the front feet.

The anti-tip guard

The anti-tip guard must be fitted to prevent the cooker from tipping over with abnormal loads.

The anti-tip guard only works when the cooker has been pushed into place.

HOW YOU FIX THE ANTI-TIP GUARD

TO THE COOKER:

1Before fitting the anti-tip guard, make sure that the cooker has been adjusted to the correct height and is standing level (see page 7).

2The 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.

Check that the anti-tip guard projects at least 20 mm (0.8") into the hole in the back of the cooker (B) when the cooker is pushed in (SEE FIG. 2).

NOTE! If the space between the bench cupboards is greater than the width of the cooker, then you must adjust the side measurement if you want to centre the cooker..

Electrical connections

The electrical installation is to include a device whereby it is possible to separate all the poles of the equipment from the power supply, with a contact opening of at least

3 mm.

This requirement must be satisfied for safety reasons.

The connected rating and voltage are shown on the data plate. There is a wiring diagram on the back of the cooker.

Decor plinth (optional accessory)

NOTE! Take due care when fitting the base trim to the cooker. Edges with which you do not normally come into contact with can be sharp.

NOTE! ONLY FITS COOKERS WITH A HEIGHT

OF 900 MM (35.5").

Remove the protective plastic before use.

1 Remove the drawer from the cooker by lifting it diagonally upwards and then pulling it all the way out.

2 Fit the base trim by pressing it firmly onto the base (snap fastener, no tools needed).

3 Re-fit the storage drawer.

clock symbol flashes until you have set the time on the clock.

SET THE TIME LIKE THIS:

1 Press or to set the right time.

2 To change time already set, press On/Off . Then press until

flashes. tills Follow the instructions in alternative 1.

After about 5 seconds the clock stops flashing and the time is shown in the display.

Now you can use the cooker.

The clock can only be changed if the child proof lock is not activated, none of the clock

functions Cooking time or Stop time or any other oven function is set.

Heat the oven emty

Keep children under supervision! The cooker becomes very hot.

Do not forget to remove all packing material from inside the oven.

The oven must be burnt off before it is used for the first time. This is done as follows:

1Open the oven door and remove all the accessories from the oven cavity.

2Switch on the oven . Select hot air

by using or . Select a temperature of 200oC. The temperature can be changed by using

and . The oven door must be closed.

3Leave the oven at this setting for about one hour.

4Move over to the Max. grill function

by using or . Select a temperature of 200oC. The temperature can be changed by using

and . The oven door must be closed.

5Leave the oven at this setting for about 30 minutes.

6Switch off the cooker .

7Then leave the oven door open for about two hours and air out the kitchen.

8Clean the oven, the door and the oven-step units with hot water and washing-up liquid. Dry the oven

The first time an oven is used, there may still be a slight smell. This will not affect the food in any way and is not a health-hazard.

Clean the accessories

Wash the shelves, roasting pan, etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.

Telescopic runners

To prevent scratches during transport, the telescopic runners are covered with a protective coating when delivered. This coating must be removed from the runners before they are used, otherwise it can burn fast and damage the rails.

Note! Make sure that the cooker antitip guard is fitted, see page 8

The telescopic runners replace the ordinary oven step units that are fitted in the cooker when it 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).

Use of the telescopic runners for 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 57). When fitting, the rails are first inserted in the inner hole (1) and then in the outer (2). Push into position.

MAKE SURE THAT THE LOCATING PIN IS

TURNED OUTWARDS TOWARDS THE OVEN DOOR.

The rails must be pushed in when the oven door is closed.

Using grids, baking plates and roasting pan

It is important for the oven grid, the shelves and the roasting pan to be fixed between the stops in 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 front 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 is held in position.The rails must be in their pushed-in position when the grid/baking plate/roasting pan is 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 needed when using the grid. The oven grid shelf has a mark 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 baking plate edge/roasting pan and that the baking plate/roasting pan rests on the rails, otherwise it can fall off the rails in the pulled-out position. When the baking plate/roasting pan is removed in the pulled-out position, the rails must be pushed back again so that the oven door can be closed. Use oven gloves because the rails are hot.

Using the ceramic hob

The hob can not be used if the oven is not switched on, see page 33.

The hob has four heating zones with:

•MIN./MAX. SIZE on the right rear zone.

•A SWIVEL WINDOW which provides

information about the zone.

•AUTOMAX, an automatic heater-

whereby the zone heats up rapidly to the heating level you need (for cooking/roasting) without it being necessary to change the knob setting.

•HEAT WARNER. When you have

switched off a zone, the swivel window lights up H as long as the zone is hotter than about 55°C.

•AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF after a time.

The higher the heating level, the earlier the zone is switched off.

The glass in the hob tolerates, heat, cold and temperature shocks, but is sensitive to impact. A spice jar or grinder falling onto the plate could crack it. Never use the hob to stand on, off-load materials onto or use as a storage area.

Never use a cracked plate or an oven with a cracked timer glass.

Liquids could, if they boil over, or during cleaning, penetrate down into the live electrical components. Turn off the power supply to the cooker and contact Service for repairs. Never lay metal objects such as lids, knives and spoons on the hob. They become hot if a heating zone is switched on by mistake.

Immediately after use (while the hob is still hot) clean with the blade scraper to remove sugar and spills with a high sugar content, such as marmalade, and also any melted plastic or foil, in order to avoid damage to the plate.

Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat, paraffin or other easily flammable substance unattended. In the event of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and switch off the cooling fan.

EXTINGUISH A FIRE WITH A POT LID, never use water.

Make sure that there is no sand, sugar or salt on pots and pans. Sand can cause scratches, while sugar and salt can ruin the ceramic glass plate. Always dry pots and pans before placing them on the ceramic glass plate. The coloured decor on the ceramic glass plate can become worn and scratched as it is used.

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.

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 materials.

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 smooth 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.
