qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
–or the mains fuse is withdrawn
–or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable)
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by the oven and the hob cooking areas.
Great care should be taken to ensure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being used. The hob and also external parts of the oven such as the door glass, vents and control panel can become quite hot. Turn pan handles away from the edge to prevent children from pulling pans over.
Oven
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves is recommended:
– when placing food in the oven, turning or removing it.
When working with “Conventional” heating or when grilling, the element in the roof of the oven and the guard become very hot, and there is a danger of being burnt.
Wait until the grill element has cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burning.
Do not use force to pull it down as this can cause the element to
break.
Do not heat up unopened tins or jars of food in the oven, as pressure will build up and they will explode.
Do not push pots and pans around on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take care in the region of the hinges. The oven door can support a maximum load of 10 kg.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Cover any food which is left in the oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents steam condensing and possibly leading to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cooking, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, turn the temperature selector switch to “0°C”. Leave the function selector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed. Otherwise there may be a build-up of condensation which could adversely affect the oven interior, and externally the control panel, the worktop surface or surrounding kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking tray or grill pan. This could cause the metal to distort to such an extent that it might be difficult to remove the tray/pan from the oven. The distortion would increase with subsequent use.
Ceramic hobs
When switched on the cooking areas heat up. A residual heat indi-
cator shows whether a cooking zone is hot.
In the event of any breakages or cracks occurring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply.
Contact the Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged ceramic plate has been replaced. Continued use would be dangerous as liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate to the electrical components through any crack.
Do not use the hob as a resting place for any other objects.
This could lead to a danger of the article catching fire or melting if there is any residual heat.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic hob.
Even a light object such as an egg cup, could cause damage in certain circumstances.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-
mium foil to get on to the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, turn to a lower setting but do not switch off. Immediately scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob with a shielded razor blade scraper, taking care not to burn yourself. If these residues are allowed to cool before the hob surface has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
Enclosed hotplates
Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill onto a stainless
steel hob or trim. Should this happen wipe up any spillages containing salt immediately, to avoid corrosion.
Do not use covers on the enclosed hotplates.Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could damage the hotplate. Putting a cover on a damp hotplate could lead to damage of the hotplate. Condensation trapped under the cover could cause corrosion.
General notes
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-
nent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer of the oven cannot accept any responsibility.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if allowed to overheat.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high temperatures. Additionally they could dam-
age a ceramic hob as they melt.
Do not use the oven to heat up the room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the oven or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the oven, ensure that the cable cannot come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven door, which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through. If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or turning the food, and by observing a sufficiently long standing time, which should be added to the time needed for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
In countries which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Use of accessories
After using the scraper ensure the blade is shielded before putting it
away.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the machine to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.
10
Safety feature
Oven door locking
(Exception: appliances in stainless steel and with a bowed handle in the Classic range.)
A lock is incorporated in the oven door. This makes it difficult for children to open the oven door.
To activate the door lock proceed as follows:

Do not close the oven door until the oven interior is dry.
Rinse the accessories.
Fit the side rails supplied.
12
Before using for the first time
New appliances have a slight smell on first use. Running the oven for an hour at a high temperature makes it dissipate more quickly.
Turn the oven function selector to “Fan Heat D”.
Select the highest temperature.
The timer can be used to set the finish time.
Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.
Ceramic hob
Thoroughly clean the ceramic hob before use, then clean regularly after use when just warm to the touch, or cold.
There might be a slight smell on first use due to the drying effect.
Enclosed hotplates
For the first few times of using a smell will occur.
Heat the hotplates for about 5 minutes at the highest setting. Do not place a pan on them.
The protective coating which prevents the build-up of rust will smoke slightly as it hardens.
13
Hob controls
The controls for the cooking zones / hotplates regulate the heat output.
Only turn the controls in a clockwise direction until a resistance is felt, and back again.
Turning them in the other direction will damage them.
When the control is turned to a setting, the control lamp for the cooking area lights up. This goes out when the hob control is turned to “0".
Cooking
Choose a high setting number for boiling/frying.
Switch to a lower setting to continue cooking, when steam is visible at the rim of the lid.
Switching to a lower setting at the right time:
–avoids pans boiling over,
–food sticking,
–and saves electricity.

Hobs - description
Ceramic hobs
Diameter of cooking zones
The cooking zones are clearly marked on the hob. Only the zone that is switched on heats up. The surround remains relatively cool.
Residual heat indicator
Each cooking zone has a residual heat indicator. When the zone has been turned on, the indicator light comes on when the zone reaches a certain temperature. The indicator goes out when the heated surface of the hob is cool enough to touch.
Extended area n
The cooking zone control is also used to switch on the extended area of the left hand cooking zone.
An indicator light comes on to show when the extended area has been chosen.
Turn the controls in a clockwise direction only to the symbol "n", and allow to spring gently back again. Otherwise the control will be damaged.
Then select the setting required.
Turning the zone control back to "0" switches off:
–the cooking zone, and
–the extended area.
Enclosed hotplates
On hobs with enclosed hotplates, there are two different sizes and performance levels of hotplate.
Some hobs have an area for resting hot pans.
15
Hobs - use
Choice of suitable pans
Attention to correct choice and use of pans
–will help you obtain the best cooking result most economically,
–and generally avoid food boiling over and sticking.
Pan bases
For maximum economy of electricity when cooking or frying, only use pans with a flat or very slightly concave base. When hot the pan will rest evenly on the hob. Modern saucepans for electric cookers are the most suitable and efficient for use on ceramic cooking zones, or solid hotplates.
Size of pan
The diameter of the saucepan or frying pan should be very slightly larger than that of the hotplate/cooking area.
Pan lids
Cooking with the lid on the pan retains the heat.
16
Hobs - use
Notes on the use on hobs
(both ceramic and enclosed hotplates)
Before switching on, place a saucepan containing water or food to be cooked on the hotplate or cooking area. This prevents unnecessary use of energy or the hotplates warping or burning themselves out.
Before starting to cook, make sure that the hotplates or cooking areas and the base of saucepan are clean and dry.
This saves extra cleaning later on.
Additional notes for ceramic hobs
Take care before starting to cook that there is no grit or sand on the surface of the hob.
This would scratch the surface, especially if a pan was pushed across.
Do not use any pots or pans where the base has ridges or a pronounced edge.
These could also cause scratches.
Do not push roasting tins or baking trays etc across the ceramic surface. Scratches could occur.
Aluminium or stainless steel pans with aluminium bases can leave marks with a metallic sheen on the ceramic surface. Clean these away at the earliest opportunity, (see Section on Cleaning and Care).
Never leave boiled-over sugar or syrups, plastic items or aluminium foil on the hob. If this does happen, turn the hob to a lower setting, but on no account switch it off. Use a shielded scraper blade to scrape off the sugar, plastic or foil residue thoroughly.
If these residues are allowed to cool before the hob surface has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Additional notes for enclosed hotplates
Do not lay anything wet or damp across the hotplates.
If this does however happen, wipe the hotplate clean and switch on briefly to dry. This is necessary to avoid corrosion.
17
Description of the systems
Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the oven sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the rear panel of the oven.
The oven does not usually need to be pre-heated as the heated air reaches the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven when roasting sirloin.
Using the fan heating system you can bake and roast on different levels at the same time.
The heated air used by this system is of a lower temperature than that used with the “Conventional” heating system.
Defrost G
No heating is used.
At this setting air at room temperature is circulated by the fan, for gentle defrosting.
Conventional heating A
With this conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed on the food from above and below.
Pre-heating the oven is only necessary when
–baking cakes or baking with a short cooking time.
–baking sensitive doughs.
–roasting a joint of meat, fillet.
Grill ,
The inner part of the upper heating element acts as the grill. This will glow red a few minutes after switching it on and is then ready for use.
Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes with the oven door closed, before placing the food on the rack.
18
Oven - use
Controls
There is an oven function selector and a temperature selector.
Function selector
With this control you select the oven function required.
The selector can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise.
–Light H
Turns on the oven light independently.
–Fan heat D
For baking or roasting on several levels at the same time.
–Conventional A
Top and bottom heat for baking / roasting traditional recipes, for soufflés.
–Top heat C
For browning dishes, finishing dishes with a cheese topping.
–Bottom heat B
Use this setting towards the end of baking, to brown the base of a cake.
–Defrost G
For gentle defrosting of deep frozen foods.
–Grill ,
For grilling fish and cuts such as chops, steaks, poultry pieces, and kebabs .
