Important warnings

• The appliance may only be connected to the power mains by a service technician or other qualifi ed
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 fi re;
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 fl ammable, 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 fi re and cause a fi re 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 fi re and the resulting damage to the cooking surface, never use a glass-
ceramic 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.

• The appliance is intended for installation directly on the fl oor, without the use of any supports.

Important warningsImportant warnings

315222

• Switch on each cooking zone to the highest power level
without any cookware on them for three to fi ve minutes. During
the fi rst 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.

• 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.

Tips on the use of cookware

Use high-quality cookware with a fl at 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 fi ts 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 refl ective 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 fl at dark bottom.

• Do not use clay cookware, because it may leave scratches on
the glass-ceramic hob.

Energy savingEnergy 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 fi ve 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).

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 zonesHI-Light cooking zones

The oven

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.

Important warningsImportant warnings

• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them with
warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaning aids.

• When the oven is heated up for the fi rst time, a specifi c odor of
a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore, ventilate the
room thoroughly while the oven heats up.

• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays,
as these transmit the heat particularly well.

• Only preheat the oven if specifi cally 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.

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.

315222

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.
