Safety precautions

• To avoid any possible hazard, the appliance
must be installed by qualified personnel only.

• Any repairs by unqualified persons may result in
electric shock or short circuit. In order to avoid
possible injuries to your body or to the
appliance, do not attempt any repairs by
yourself. Such work should be carried out by
qualified service personnel.

• Hot grease is highly inflammable, so pay extra
attention when preparing food with grease or
oil. Frying may be carried out only under
constant surveillance.

• Warning! Never let small children in the vicinity
of the cooker; they are not yet aware of danger
of burns. Older children may use the appliance
only under your surveillance.

• Surface of hotplates may become very hot
during operation. The inside of the oven,
hotplates and steam exits are also places of
potential danger for children.

• Danger of burns! Hotplates, oven and cooking
accessories may become very hot during
operation. To avoid burns use kitchen clothes
and gloves when handling hot parts or utensils.

• Mains lead of adjacent appliances may be
damaged by hotplates or if stuck between the
oven doors, and produce short circuit, therefore
keep them at safe distance from the appliance.

• Never clean the oven with the high-pressure
steam cleaning device, as it may provoke short
circuit.

• Oven door may become very hot during
operation. Therefore, some models are
equipped with the third glass to reduce the
surface heat of the glass, as an extra protection
against burns.

• Do not keep any flammable material in the
drawer under the oven (paper, wiping cloth,
plastic bags, cleaning agents or sprays, etc.),
as they may cause a fire. Use the drawer to
keep only the oven utensils (flat baking pan, oil
collector, oil filter, etc.).

• If you discover any visible cracks upon the
glass ceramic surface, do not use the hob,
there is an electric shock hazard. In such cases
switch all the hotplates off and unscrew the
fuse or switch off the main switch to disconnect
the appliance completely from the mains. Call
the nearest service centre.

• The appliance must be placed directly on the
floor, without any supports.

Important warnings

In case the glass ceramic hob is used as a
worktop it may be damaged or scratched. Never
heat up the food in aluminium foil or plastic
dishes, otherwise you may damage the hob or
cause melting of material and fire.
Door hinges may be damaged if the open door is
charged with heavy objects. Do not sit on the
door and never put any heavy loads on the door
in the open position.

Current Time

Setting the current time

After connecting the appliance to the mains the
display indicates flashing 0 00 and the flashing
symbol S3. Turn button 1 to the position
"manual", and by turning the button 2 towards "+"
or "-" set the current time of day. Symbol S3
goes off. The clock starts running 7 seconds after
the last touch of any button. The symbol S1 is on,
indicating that the clock has been set to manual
(conventional) mode.
Note: keeping button 2 turned towards the
position "+" or "-" speeds up the setting process
on the display.
Caution: In case you fail to set the current time
within 7 seconds following the plugging of the
appliance to mains power, it will start running
automatically. If you now turn button 2 in the ‘+’
direction, current time stops flashing, but symbol
S3 is still flashing. You can now set the current
time as follows:

− Turn button 1 to the position "current time" and
then back to "manual".

− Set current time with button 2 (symbol S3 is off,
symbol S1 is on).

Repeat the same procedure in case of power
failure, or in case of changing the time of day.!

Button 1 in position ‘current time’ serves
exclusively for displaying current time, and
not for changing it!

Setting the conventional (manual)
operation

Turn the button 1 to the position "manual". All
actual running programs are hereby cancelled
(the symbol S3 is deleted if it was active). Symbol

S1 becomes active (if it was not already on),

which means that the clock is set to the
conventional (manual) mode of operation.

Semi-automatic operation with the
defined period

Turn button 1 to the position "period of operation".
The display indicates 0 00 and the symbol S1 is on.
Set the desired period by turning button 2 to the
position "+" or "-". The symbol S3 appears. The
period of operation may be selected in steps of 1
minute. Maximum possible period to be set is 10
hours.
Once the desired period of operation is selected, the
time countdown starts after the 7 second lapse. If
button 1 remained in the position "period of
operation" the display indicates the countdown time.
The remaining time may be checked by turning
button 2, while button 1 must remain in the position
"period of operation".
The expiry of the set period is signaled by the alarm,
which is switched off automatically after 7 minutes, if
it was not switched off before by turning button 1 into
any position other than the present one. The symbol
S1 is off and the symbol S3 flashes. In this moment
the oven is switched off.
After turning the button 1 into the position "manual"
the symbol S3 turns off and the symbol S1
reappears. The clock is set to conventional (manual)
mode.

If you wish to terminate roasting the oven must
be switched off!

Semi-automatic operation with the end
of operation

Turn button 1 to the position "end". The display
indicates the current time. Set the desired end of
operation time by turning button 2 towards the
position "+" or "-" (naturally, the end time must
be greater than the current time). The symbol S3
appears. The display returns to read current time
7 seconds after the setting process is completed.
Once the current time reaches the preset end of
operation time, this is signaled by the sound
alarm, which is switched off automatically after 7
minutes, if it was not switched off before by
turning button 1 to any direction. The symbol S1
is off and symbol S3 flashes. In this moment the
oven is switched off.
After turning button 1 into the position "manual"
the symbol S3 turns off and the symbol S1
reappears. The clock is set to conventional
(manual) mode.

If you wish to terminate roasting the oven
must be switched off!

Automatic operation with the preset
period and the end of operation

Turn button 1 to the position "period of operation"
and by turning button 2 towards "+" or "-" set the
period of cooking.
Then turn button 1 into the position "end" and the
display indicates the nearest possible end of
operation time. Set the desired end of operation
time by turning button 1 towards "+" or "-". The
symbol S1 is off if the end time is greater than the
current time + the preset period of operation.
The oven starts operating automatically according
to the preset times.

Example

Current time = 12:00, operation interval was set
at 1:30 and the end of operation at 14:00. This
means that the oven will start operating at 12:30.

Errors in setting the time

If the selected end time falls shorter than the
current time + period of operation, this is signaled
by the sound alarm and the flashing symbol S3.
Preset times have to be corrected and adjusted
(the best procedure is to turn button 1 into the
position "manual" and repeat the complete
procedure).

Alarm timer

To activate the timer, turn button 1 to the position
"timer". This timer functions only as a warning
signal and does not switch off the oven.
Set the desired time by turning button 2 towards
"+" or "-". Symbol S2 is on.
Once the desired alarm time is selected, the time
countdown starts after the 7 second lapse. If
button 1 remained in the position "timer" the
display indicates the countdown of preset time.
The remaining time may be corrected with button
2, while button 1 must remain in the position
"period of operation".
The expiry of the set period is signaled by the
alarm, which is switched off automatically after 7
minutes, if it was not switched off before by
turning button 1 in any position other than the
actual one. The symbol S2 is off.

Sound alarm volume

When all functions are off (only the current time is
displayed) it is possible to select 3 different
volume settings of the sound signal. Turn button
1 to the position "manual" and wait for 7 seconds.
If button 2 is turned prior the expiry of this period,
the current time will be altered! Next, turn button
2 towards "-" and keep it in this position. The
first volume level is sounded. Release button 2
and turn again towards "-" for the next volume
level, etc.
The last selected level is stored as default.
Volume level may be reset anytime.

Deleting all timer adjustments

All the time settings except the alarm timer may
be deleted at any time by turning button 1 to the
position "manual".
Preset programs are automatically cancelled and
the clock returns to the conventional (manual)
mode.

Using the clock in combination with
oven

To use the clock in combination with oven,
the first step is to switch the oven on and set
the desired baking mode and the temperature.
Only after that you may proceed setting the
clock functions. After the completion of
baking switch the oven off.

Button (1) in the position of current time

This position is neutral and indicates current time.
It is used in case you wish the current time to be
indicated on the display. The clock is for example
set to automatic operation. If button 1 is set to the
position "end" the display reads the end of
operation time, and if button 1 is turned to the
position "current time" the display will read
current time.

Instructions for use, installation and connection

Before Using

Glass ceramic hob

Wipe the glass ceramic surface with moist cloth
and some dishwashing detergent for manual
wash. Never use any aggressive detergents, like
powder detergents, rough dish sponges which
may produce scratches, rust removers or stain
removers.

Oven

Take all the accessories out of the oven and
clean it with warm water and your usual mild
detergent. Never use an aggressive cleaner as it
may cause scratches!
During the first heating the oven may produce a
somewhat unpleasant smell of a new product.
This is normal, just ventilate the place thoroughly!

Program timer

(certain models only)
Set the correct time of day as described in the
separately supplied instructions for the use of
program timers. Setting the time is imperative for
the correct functioning of the appliance, since the
operation of oven is possible only after such
adjustment had been made.

Alarm timer

(FES605W)
Maximum setting time is
60 minutes. After the
expiry of set time alarm
sound is heard, lasting
for about five seconds.
Timer is set by turning
the knob in clockwise
direction, and the correct
setting is obtained by turning it anti-clockwise.

Energy saving tips

The bottom of the dish is
too thin and becomes
crooked in the process of
heating up. The
consequence is excessive
consumption of energy
and uneven distribution of
heat.

incorrect

The dish is too big or too
small. Temperature
resistant glass, protruding
over the edge, might
break. Dish with too small
bottom diameter
excessively consumes
energy and is not
economical.

incorrect

Adequate size of cooking
dishes.
Below are some important
suggestions how to use
your new cooker and its
accessories in order to
save as much energy as
possible.

correct

Stick to the general rule:

The better the quality of the dish, the lower
consumption of energy!
