Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way
you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is
intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the
cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the
cooker and its use.

Children are naturally curious and interested in most
things, including the cooker. From a safety point of view,
we would like to emphasis the following for those with
children at home:

There should be worktops on both sides of the cooker
extending at least 40 cm to left and to right. Alternatively
the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen
unit on one side and a worktop on the other side. The

Work on the cooker must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Work performed by unqualified persons can
damage the cooker, and may also lead to personal injury
and/or damage to property.

The cooker is heavy. Certain edges and corners which
will not normally be exposed may be sharp. Use gloves

Never use the ceramic hob if it is cracked, as water from
spillages and/or cleaning could penetrate down to live
conductors. If the hob is damaged, disconnect the cooker
from the electrical supply and contact your service centre
to have the cooker repaired.

Never place aluminium foil, plastics etc. on the
ceramic hob. If a hotplate is switched on by mistake,
these materials will rapidly start to burn or melt.

Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying,
or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other
flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off all

the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.

THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID

Use only pans which are intended for ceramic hobs.
Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven.
Check the bases of your pans. Pans with convex bases are
poor conductors of heat, and also tend to spin easily on
the flat ceramic hob.

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

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

Great care must be taken when using such liquids and
substances on the hob. For example, when preparing food
on the hob with flaming brandy, or any other type of alco-
hol, there is always a risk that fat particles in the hob fan
may catch fire with serious consequences. Flames and
burning fat spills can also cause personal injury.

, never use water.

, so that you

SMOTHER

`äÉ~åáåÖ

Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages
give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst,
can cause fires.

Use the scraper to remove immediately (while the hob
is still warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and
melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob if left.
Be careful as the razor blade is extremely sharp.

j~áåíÉå~åÅÉ=~åÇ=ëÉêîáÅÉ

Turn all controls off before changing any bulbs.

Service and repairs should be carried out by a service
company approved by the supplier. Use only spare parts
supplied by such companies.

Help prevent accidents when the cooker has reached the
end of its useful life. Make sure first that the lead is c om-
pletely disconnected from the electrical supply (pull out
the plug, or have the cooker safely disconnected from the
wall), then cut the electrical lead at the point where it
enters the cooker. Make sure that the door catch/door
catches have been deactivated.

The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading. The non-tip device can only provide pro-
tection when the cooker is pushed into its normal
position.

Before fitting the non-tip device, make sure the cooker has
been levelled and adjusted to the correct plinth height (see
“Installation” on p. 19).

1

Draw a line on the wall – after levelling the
cooker – along the top edge of the hob (see illus-
tration).

2

The measurements shown can be applied
whether the non-tip device is fitted on the left or
the right (see illustration). Measure and mark
where the non-tip device is to be placed, then
screw it onto a solid material or a suitable rein-
forcement or fixings.

NOTE

! If the space between kitchen units is wider than
the cooker, you will need to alter the measurements
shown in the illustration if the cooker is to be centred.

3

If you alter the measurements, remember to
align the cooker correctly when pushing it into
place, so that the non-tip device enters the hole
on the cooker rear.

The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even
with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas
may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending
partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also
occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to
prevent overheating.

The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate
light will remain on, even after the hotplate control has
been switched off, until the hotplate temperature falls
below about 55°C.

The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid
temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact. A
pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never
stand or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a stor-
age space.

NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED

Water from spillages could seep through to the
live conductors. Disconnect the cooker and con-
tact your service centre to have the cooker
repaired. Use the scraper to remove immediately

(while the hob is still warm) spilt sugar or syrups
(e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can
damage the hob if left. Never leave the cooker
unattended while deep fat frying, melting fats,
paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In
the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and the
cooker hood fan.

, never use water.

The heating zone controls are graduated from 0 to 12
(12 is the hottest). They can be turned both clockwise
and anticlockwise.

TO USE THE HOB:

1

Turn the control for the heating zone you are
going to use.

2

Reset the control after use.

Which heat setting should you use? You will soon
learn which setting and heating zone to choose
depending on your pans and what you are cooking.
Here is a brief guide to choosing the correct setting:

You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched
to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower
heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can help
you to choose the correct setting:

qÜÉ=ÅÉê~ãáÅ=ÜçÄ

GENTLE HEAT

: Simm e r in g w i th tiny bubbles as in carbon a te d

water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as
sugar peas and broccoli.

MEDIUM HEAT

: Gently boiling with larger bubbles.
Suitable for boiling most foods, such as meat,
root vegetables and potatoes.

HOT

: The sound disappears before the water starts
bubbling vigorously. Suitable for boiling water for
pasta and rice. Then turn the heat down for more
gentle cooking.

cêóáåÖ

It is best when frying not to use food that has come
straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the
bottom of the pan should be covered by food.

Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and
turn on to the recommended heat. In order to get the
best results, it is important that the fat is the right
colour (temperature) when you start frying. Hold a
light-coloured spatula to the bottom of the pan to see
the colour of the fat.

LIGHTLY BROWNED FAT

: Suitable for eggs, onions, raw

potatoes, chops and steaks and whole fish, etc.

BROWNED FAT

: Suitable for frying most foods such as
pancakes, minced meats, sausages, thin fish fillets and
stewing steak.

WELL BROWNED FAT

: Sui table for thin stea k s. Be c ar e fu l

as the fat can easily become burnt.
