1. Before You Start...
This User Guide covers a number of dierent models.
Although some of the illustrations will look dierent to
your particular model the functions will be the same. We
hope the meaning is clear.
Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free
cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important
that you read this section before you start, particularly if you
have not used a ceramic cooker before.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –
besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may
overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK the electrical installation should be in accordance
with BS 7671. Otherwise, all installations must be in
accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet, with
the relevant national and local regulations, and with the local
electricity supply companies’ requirements.
Set the clock to ensure that the ovens are functional – see the
relevant section in this manual.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
Only a qualied service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it o at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specied otherwise in this guide.
Stabilizing brackets must be installed in order to
prevent tipping of the appliance.
Peculiar smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o a slight odour.
This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the rst time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to maximum
temperature and run for 45 minutes.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside (see
‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Therefore, ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker
hood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or
use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan.
Personal Safety
DO NOT modify this appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children or inrm persons should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTION: A long term cooking process has to be
supervised from time to time. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Danger of re: DO NOT store items on the cooking
surfaces.
Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the cooker and
never wear loose-tting or hanging clothes while
the appliance is in use.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean the cooker.
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position
when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean
the cooker.
Take care when touching the marked cooking areas
of the hob.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
While the oven door is open do not let children climb
on the door or sit on it.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and
ammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it
might catch re if brought into contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hotplate.

ArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface
Fig. 1.1
Make sure to use adequately sized pans with at
bottoms that are large enough to cover the surface
of the hotplate heating area. Using undersized
pans will expose a portion of the hotplate surface
to direct contact and may result in the ignition of
clothing.
Fig. 1.2
ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the ue (the slot along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick
up a aming pan. Turn o the controls and then
smother a aming pan on a surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a well tting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type re extinguisher.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam
burst’ when the oven door is opened. When opening the
oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse
(“Fig. 1.1”).
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Do not attempt to lift or move the appliance by
pulling the door handles.
NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote control
system.
Hob Care
NEVER cook directly on the hob surface (“Fig. 1.2”).
DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.
Do not leave utensils, foodstus or combustible items on
the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers, on the hob.
DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless
being used for cooking.
2
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the
ArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface
ArtNo.312-0003 Moving pans
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling
object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or
break (“Fig. 1.3”).
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange
for its repair.
Always LIFT pans o the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks
and scratches (“Fig. 1.4”). Always turn the control to the OFF
position before removing a pan.
DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).
Fig. 1.3
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
both the hob and pan.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hob cooking; others
may break because of the sudden change in temperature.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours (“Fig. 1.5”).
Cleaning
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/
pads or stain removers on the surface.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stu could result in a re.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas
until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone o.
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see ‘Cleaning your Cooker’). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove any cleaning cream residue.

ArtNo.090-0007 90 Ceramic:
oven steam out the back
The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to
prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. However, you
should clean the hob with caution as some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

Fig. 2.3
The Hob
Use only pans that are suitable for ceramic hobs. We
recommend stainless steel and enamelled steel pans, as pots
and pans with copper or aluminium bases leave traces on the
hob that are dicult to remove.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food aects the
setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities
of food.
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, at bottoms
(Fig. 2.2). This allows the maximum heat transfer from the
hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy ecient.
Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand.
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved up
when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see
a small gap in the middle (Fig. 2.3). When they heat up the
metal expands and lies at on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.

ArtNo.312-0003 Moving pans
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob top (Fig. 2.4). Using
smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on.
Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Always lift pans o the hob (Fig. 2.5). Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the ‘OFF’
position before removing a pan.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
o the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface
and remove.
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas
(Fig. 2.6). The lights come on when a hob control is turned on
and stays lit while the surface cools.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned o – it may be hotter than
you think.

The ratings of the dierent cooking areas are shown in
Fig. 2.7.
When cooking on the hob, you may see the hob area you
are using switch o and on: this is caused by a safety device
that limits the temperature of the hob. This is quite normal,
especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens
a lot with a particular pan, however, it may mean the pan is
not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven – for a ceramic
hob.
For best results, preheat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes
before adding food to it.
Use only heat-resistant dishes.

The Top Grill
Turn the top oven control clockwise to select either of the
grill functions, indicated by the graphics around the knob.
The indicator light will illuminate to signify that the grill is on
(Fig. 2.8). It will then cycle on and o during grilling.
Open the door and attach the grill pan handle (Fig. 2.9).
Ensure the grill pan handle is centralised and secure. Pull
the grill pan forward using the handle (Fig. 2.10) and remove
from the grill chamber.
Do not leave the handle in position when grilling.
For best results, preheat the grill for two minutes with the
door open. Food can be placed on the grill pan while you are
waiting for the grill to preheat.
Once the grill has preheated, slide the grill pan and trivet
back into the grill chamber and remove the handle.

The grill door must be kept completely open whilst
the grill is being used.
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use.
Young children should be kept away.
Always wear oven gloves when using the grill.
The Top Oven
The top oven is a conventional oven. It has 2 main cooking
functions: a browning element and top and base heating.
Turn the top oven control clockwise to select the oven
function / temperature, indicated by the graphics around the
knob. The indicator light will illuminate to signify that the
oven is on (Fig. 2.11).
The browning element can be used in the latter part of the
cooking process to ne tune the results to your particular
requirements.
‘S’ (Slow) Cooking Function
This is a low temperature setting for cooking food over a long
period. The oven centre is set at 100 ºC. The ‘S’ setting can also
be used for keeping food warm.

The Main Oven / Grill
The clock must be set to the time of day before the main
oven will work. See the following section on ‘Using the Clock’ for instructions on setting the time of day.
The main oven is a multi-function oven (Fig. 2.13).
Multi-function ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element,
as well as two extra heating elements. One element is in
the top of the oven and the second is under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deector when placing or removing items from the oven.
The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
As well as a standard grill function, the main oven also
features fanned grilling.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
