Important warnings

•The appliance may only be connected to the power mains by a service technician or other qualified expert.

•Unprofessional tampering and repairs may result in serious physical injury and damage to the appliance. The repairs may only be carried out by the service personnel or an authorized technician.

•During cooking, the overheated fat or oil on the hob may ignite. There is a risk of burning and fire; therefore, control the cooking process at all times.

•Attention: the danger of burning is considerable particularly for small children and children who are not fully aware of the danger. There is a risk of burning or scalding. Therefore, keep small children away from the appliance and only let older children use the appliance under suitable supervision.

•Attention: danger of burning. Heating elements, the oven, and parts of the utensils may become very hot during use; therefore, always use a kitchen cloth or kitchen gloves when handling cookware, and take every precaution necessary to avoid burns.

•Power cords of other appliances located in the vicinity of this large appliance may be damaged if they are pinched e.g. by oven door, which can result in a short circuit. Therefore, keep the power cords of any other appliances at a suitable distance.

•Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the cooking hob, as this may result in an electric shock.

•Pay a special attention when preparing the food in the oven. Baking pans, wire shelf and the whole interior of the oven are very hot due to high temperatures, therefore the use of protective gloves is highly recommended.

•During operation, oven door heats up. A third glass is installed for extra protection, reducing the surface temperature of the outside door (only with some models).

•Do not cover the oven interior in aluminum foil and do not place the baking trays and other containers on the oven bottom. Aluminum foil will prevent air circulation in the oven, thus impeding the cooking process, and damage the enamel coating.

•Do not use the cooking hob for room heating. Do not place empty pans on the hob.

•Do not store any flammable, explosive, or temperature-sensitive or volatile objects (e.g. paper, kitchen cloths, plastic bags, cleaning agents, and various sprays) in the drawer underneath the appliance, as these objects could catch fire and cause a fire during oven operation. Use the drawer for storing oven equipment and accessories (shallow baking tray, drip tray, etc.).

•Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken as there is a risk of electric shock. If any visible crack appears, immediately disconnect all cooking zone switches and remove the fuse, or trip the main fuse to completely disconnect the cooker from the power supply network. Call your service center.

•Glass ceramic hob should not be used as a worktop as it can be damaged or scratched. Due to the danger of melting or fire and the resulting damage to the cooking surface, never use a glassceramic hob to warm food stored in aluminum foil or in a plastic container.

•Oven door hinges can be damaged when overloaded. Do not place heavy pans on the open door, and do not lean against them when cleaning the oven interior. Before cleaning, remove the oven door (see section Removing and replacing the oven door). Do not step on the open oven door or sit on them – this applies particularly for children.

Cooking surface

Before using the appliance for the first time (depending on the model)

•Switch on each cooking zone to the highest power level without any cookware on them for three to five minutes. During the first heating, the protective layer over the cooking hob may discharge some fumes. This way, the protective layer reaches its maximum solidness.

•Clean the glass-ceramic surface with a damp cloth and some manual dishwashing detergent. Do not use aggressive cleaners such as abrasive cleaning agents or sponges which may leave scratches, or stain removers.

Important warnings

315222

•Do not switch on the cooking zones without any cookware on them and never use them for room heating!

•Make sure the cooking zones and the pan bottom are clean and dry; this will enable good heat transmission and prevent damage to the cooking zone.

•During cooking, the overheated fat or oil on the hob may ignite. Therefore, be careful when preparing food with fat or oil (e.g. French fries) and control the cooking process at all times.

•Do not place damp cookware or steam-covered lids on the cooking zones. Moisture is detrimental to the cooking zones.

•Do not leave a hot pan to cool down on the cooking zones, because moisture will be generated under it, causing corrosion.

Important warnings related to the glass-ceramic hob

•The cooking zone will reach the selected power level or temperature very quickly; however, the area surrounding the cooking zones remains relatively cool.

•The hob is resistant to temperature changes.

•The hob is also impact-resistant. The pans may be placed onto the hob roughly without damaging the hob.

•Glass ceramic hobs should not be used as a worktop. Sharp objects can cause scratches.

•Preparing food in thin aluminum of plastic containers on hot cooking zones is not allowed. Do not place any plastic objects or aluminum foil on the glass ceramic hob.

•Never use a glass-ceramic hob that is cracked or broken. If an object falls on the hob with a sharp edge downwards,

this could cause the hob / glass ceramic panel to break. The consequences are visible immediately, or only after a while. If any visible crack should appear, immediately disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

•If sugar is spilt on a hot glass ceramic hob, or a sugar-laden food, immediately wipe the hob.

Cookware

Tips on the use of cookware

Use high-quality cookware with a flat and stable bottom.

• Transmission of heat is best when the pan bottom and the

cooking zone are of the same diameter, and the pan is placed

on the middle of the cooking zone.

• When using a tempered glass (Pyrex) or porcelain cookware,

please follow the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.

• When using a pressure cooker, do not leave it unattended until

the desired pressure is reached. The cooking zone should

initially be set to the maximum power level; as the pressure

rises, use the sensors to decrease the power level according

to the pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions.

• Make sure there is always enough water, either in a pressure

cooker or in any other piece of cookware, as using an empty

pan on the cooking hob will result in overheating which will

damage both the pan and the cooking zone.

• Tempered glass (Pyrex) cookware with a specially brushed

bottom is suitable for use on cooking hobs if it fits the diameter

of the cooking zone. Cookware with larger diameter may break

due to thermal stress.

• When using any special or unconventional cookware, follow

the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.

• When a highly reflective pan (bright metal surface) or a pan

with a thick bottom is used for cooking on a glass-ceramic

hob, cooking time can be extended by several minutes (up to

10 minutes). If you wish to boil a larger quantity of food, it is

recommended to use a container with a flat dark bottom.

• Do not use clay cookware, because it may leave scratches on

the glass-ceramic hob.

Energy saving

• Pan bottom diameters should match the diameter of the

cooking zone. If the pan is too small, some heat is wasted;

furthermore, using a too small pan can damage the cooking

zone.

• Whenever possible given the cooking process, use a lid.

• The pan should be appropriately sized given the quantity of

food prepared. Preparing a small quantity of food in a large

pan will cause a waste of energy.

• Dishes that take a long time to cook should be prepared in a

pressure cooker.

• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc., can be cooked in a small

quantity of water; however, the lid should be closed tightly.

When the water is brought to boil, reduce the power level to a

setting that maintains a temperature just above boiling point.

Operating the cooking hob – conventional zones

•Turn on the cooking zone using the knobs installed on the control panel.

•The symbol next to each knob indicates which cooking zone is operated by it.

•Cooking zone power level can be set continuously (1-9) or stepwise (1-6).

•The step knobs can be rotated in both directions. With continuous knobs, the power level is increased as you rotate them in the clockwise direction, and reduced as you turn them in the anticlockwise direction.

•The cooking zone may be turned off three to five minutes before the end of cooking in order to make use of the residual heat and save some energy (the following table lists some examples for using individual power levels).

	S	E
	0	0	Cooking zone turned off
	1	1-2	Maintaining the temperature and reheating of
			smaller quantities of food
	2	3-4	Reheating
	3	5-6	Reheating or longer cooking of larger quantities
	4	7	Consecutive cooking / frying (e.g. omelets etc.)
	5	8	Deep frying
	6	9	Quick heating

Rapid cooking zones (only available in some models) differ from the conventional cooking zones by their maximum power which allows them to heat up faster.

These cooking zones are indicated by a red dot in the middle; after a while, due to repeated use and cleaning, this dot may disappear.

HI-Light cooking zones Hi-Light cooking zones differ from the conventional zones by rapid heating; therefore, the cooking process begins very soon.

Remaining heat indicator

Each cooking zone has a signal lamp which is lit whenever the cooking zone is hot. When the cooking zone cools down, the lamp goes off. The remaining heat indicator may be lit when a hot pan was placed on it, even if the cooking zone hasn’t been used for a while.

The oven

Before using the oven	• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with
for the first time	warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not use abrasive
	cleaning aids.
	• When the oven is heated up for the first time, a specific odor of
	a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore, ventilate the
	room thoroughly while the oven heats up.
Important warnings	• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays,
	as these transmit the heat particularly well.
	• Only preheat the oven if specifically stated in the recipe or in
	the instruction tables herein.
	• Heating up an empty oven uses a lot of energy; therefore,
	a lot of power is saved if several types of pastry are cooked
	consecutively, as the oven is already heated up.
	• Approximately ten minutes before the anticipated end of the
	cooking process, the oven may be turned off. This way, you
	will save some power and make use of the accumulated heat.

The oven may be operated in the following modes

315222

Oven lighting

With some models, there are two interior lighting lamps: one on the upper part of the back wall, and the other, additional lamp on middle of the right side wall. Oven lighting can be selected independently, without selecting another function. With all other modes of operation, the oven lighting is turned on automatically when the operation mode is selected.

Upper / lower heater

The heaters on the upper and lower side of the oven radiate heat uniformly and evenly into the oven interior. Pastry and meat can be cooked on one shelf level only.

Large grill

With this operation mode, the upper heater and the infra heater are activated simultaneously. The infra heater installed on the oven interior ceiling radiates heat directly. To boost the heating effect or to make optimal use of the entire area of the oven grid, the upper heater is also activated. This operation mode is appropriate for cooking smaller chunks of meat, such as steaks, roasts, chops, ribs, etc.

Grill

Only the infra heater is activated (which also operates, along with the upper heater, in the Large grill mode). This mode is appropriate for grilling smaller quantities of toasted sandwiches, grill sausages, or simply for toasting bread.

Grill & fan

With this operation mode, the infra heater and the fan are activated simultaneously. It is appropriate for grilling meat and large chunks of meat or poultry on one shelf level. Also appropriate for cooking food au gratin or browning.
