electricity to the cooker and contact service for repairs. Never lay aluminium foil, plastic material or similar on the ceramic glass plate. If a heating zone is turned on by mistake, paper/plastic could burn or melt. Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat, paraffin or other easily ignited material without supervision. in the event of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and switch off the extractor fan. EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A POT LID, never use water. Never stand on the ceramic glass plate.
Installation Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by A QUALIFIED EXPERT. The cooker is heavy. Edges and corners with which you do not normally come into contact, can be sharp. USE GLOVES when moving the cooker. When delivered, the cooker is adapted to a bench height of 900 mm. The cooker has a telescopic plinth. You can change the height so that the cooker suits a bench height from 848 mm up tol 933 mm.
Changing plinth height If you want to change the height, first read through all the points below before you start. 1 Lay down the cooker gently (SEE ILLUSTRATION). Use, for example, the polystyrene from the packaging between the cooker and the floor as protection. Think about placing a protective layer under the rear lower corners of the cooker to protect the floor. 2 Unscrew the screws A (4 SCREWS, SEE ILLUSTRATION). Pull out the inner base slightly if you only wish to change the height.
The anti-tip guard The anti-tip guard must be fitted to prevent the cooker from tipping under abnormal loading. The anti-tip guard only functions when the cooker has been pushed into position. HOW TO FIT THE ANTI-TIP GUARD ON THE COOKER : Before fitting the anti-tip guard, make sure that the cooker has been adjusted to the correct height and is standing level (see page 7). 2 The attachment (B) is fitted to the left side when delivered. Measure out where the anti-tip guard (A) is to be located, 60 mm (2.
Electrical connections Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by a QUALIFIED EXPERT. Work carried out by nonqualified people can impair the cooker and cause injury to people and/or damage to property. The electrical installation is to include a device whereby it is possible to separate all the poles of the equipment from the power supply, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm. This requirement must be satisfied for safety reasons. The connected rating and voltage are shown on the data plate.

Before using for the first time Setting the clock When the power to the oven is connected, a clock symbol flashes until you have set the time on the clock. SET THE TIME LIKE THIS: 1 Press or to set the right time. 2 To change time already set, press On/Off . Then press a few times until flashes. Follow the instructions in alternative 1. After about 5 seconds, the clock stops flashing and the time is shown in the display. Now you can use the cooker.
Heating the oven without food Keep children under supervision! The cooker gets very hot. Do not forget to remove the packing material from inside the oven. The oven must be burnt off before it is used for the first time. Then do this: 1 Open the oven door and remove all the accessories from the oven cavity. 2 Switch on the oven . Select hot air by using or . Select a temperature of 200oC. The temperature can be changed by using and . The oven door must be closed.
Removable telescopic runners To prevent scratches during transport, the telescopic runners are delivered with a protective film. This coating must be removed from the rails before they are used, otherwise it can burn fast and damage the rails. CAUTION! Make sure that the cooker anti-tip guard is fitted, see page 8 The telescopic runners replace the ordinary oven step units which are fitted when the cooker is delivered. They consist of two rails that can be pulled out.
Using grids, baking plates and roasting pan It is important for the oven grid, the baking plate and the roasting pan to be fixed between the stops at the front and rear edges of the rails to prevent them from falling off the rails. Place the baking plate/roasting pan/ grid in the rear edge and fix against the front edge. The locating pin fits into a slot under the edge of the baking plate/roasting pan, which means that the baking plate/roasting pan are held in position.
Using the ceramic glass plate The hob can not be used if the oven is not switched on, see page 27. The hob has four heating zones with: • MIN./MAX. SIZE on the rear zones. • A SWIVEL WINDOW which provides information about the zone. • AUTOMAX, an automatic heaterwhereby the zone heats up rapidly to the heating level you need (for cooking/roasting) without it being necessary to change the knob setting. • HEAT WARNER.
Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate or a cooker with a cracked timer glass. Immediately after use (while the ceramic glass plate is still hot) use the scraper blade to remove sugar and boiled-over material with a high sugar content such as, for example, marmalade, as well as melted plastic and foil to avoid damage to the plate. Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting fat, paraffin or other easily ignited material without supervision.
THE AUTOMAX FUNCTION This cooker is fitted with a special automatic heating system called Automax. The function is engaged each time you wish to use it. It functions like this: You select the knob setting for the heat that you consider suitable for cooking/ roasting. The heating zone starts at the highest heat setting and goes over automatically to the selected setting after a certain time. Cooking/roasting with Automax This is how you activate the function.
Here is a little advice concerning the right heating setting and suitable heating zone. Each zone corresponds to a number in the tables (SEE ILLUSTRATION). Cooking PORTIONS ZONE SETTING 2 1.3 3 4 4 3 2–4 1.3 3-4 3 2 1.3 2 3/4 dl 4 1.3 3 4-6 4 3 4–8 4 4-5 Melting butter 1.3 1 Melting block chocolate 1.
Roasting Pancakes Potatoes, raw Eggs ZONE SETTING 4 7 6 7 4 6 6 6 4 6–7 6 6–7 Changing zone size MIN. Turn clockwise to desired heating setting. MAX. 1 Turn the knob anti-clockwise to the symbol on the knob. 2 Then turn clockwise back to the desired setting between 1 and 9. After being zeroed, the zone automatically retains the setting latest used.
Safety switch-off of the cooking zones If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or the heating setting is not changed, the cooking zone concerned is switched off automatically. Residual heating is shown by (“hot”) in the digital display for the cooking zone concerned. The cooking zones are switched off automatically in accordance with the following timetable: • Setting , • Setting , • Setting , after 6 hours after 5 hours after 4 hours • Setting , , , after 1.
Choice of pan/frying pan A cooker with a ceramic glass plate makes greater demands on your pots and pans that a cooker with heating plates. Remember the following: • Check the bottoms of pots and pans. Pans with a convex bottom (bulging outwards) tend to swivel on the ceramic glass plate and provide poor heating contact. • Aluminium has good heat conductivity, but can leave silvery marks on the plate.
Save energy! • • • • • Use a lid and you halve the energy requirements (compared with using without a lid). Use pans with flat bottoms and save 25% energy (compared with uneven bottoms). Make sure that the ceramic glass plate is clean and dry. Dirt and liquids impair heat transfer between the pan and the heating zone. Switch off the heating zone and let the food finish cooking on the residual heat. Steaming and pressure cooking also save energy.
Using the oven It is normal for steam and condensation to form on the oven door. This condensation is from the food being cooked and does not influence safety or oven function. The oven is fitted with removable shelf steps with five levels The oven functions Concerning hob function, the yellow control lamp on the control panel lights up during heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (it lights up and goes out when the thermostat goes on and off).

Practical use Never lay aluminium foil, a baking tray or a shelf directly on the bottom of the oven. If the bottom heater is blocked, the enamel can be damaged by over-heating. The oven becomes hot when used, KEEP AN EYE ON CHILDREN. In the case of temperature changes and/or food such as pizza being unevenly placed on a shelf, there is risk that the shelf will warp. The shelf will return to its original form when it cools down.
Baking with hot air With hot air, baking becomes more rational, since two plates used at the same time in the oven means a shorter overall baking time. Browning can be rather uneven, especially if the rolled-out dough has not risen properly. Was the result not what you expected? Read “Practical advice & tips” on page, for tips to solve your baking problems. Cooking Follow the recommendations in the table.
Roasting Roasting in the oven is convenient and practical with both TOP and BOTTOM HEATING and HOT AIR. Beef steaks, such as roast beef and fillets, are juiciest when cooked at 125°C, but take a little longer time than at a higher oven temperature. Choose an oven-proof dish with low edges into which the roast just fits, this avoids the stock from drying in. Roasting a ham often results in alot of stock. Therefore use a large roasting dish or roasting pan and be careful when removing it from the oven.
SETTING This is how to use the roasting-thermometer: 1 Stick the thermometer into the meat. 2 Start the oven . 3 Push the cover cap aside and connect the thermometer into the outlet in the oven (right-hand side). 4 30ºC is the pre-set temperature. You can set the temperature you wish with the aid of and . The actual temperature and the chosen temperature are shown in the information window (SEE ILLUSTRATION). With the information window you can follow the temperature increase in the meat.
• If you want to change the temperature, use and . To check or change the oven temperature • If you wish to change the temperature, use and . Max. Grill The size, marble pattern (streaks of fat), the shape, quantity and temperature of the meat to be grilled all affect the time and the result. Fish and white meat (poultry, veal and pork) do not brown as easily as red meat (beef and game). Grill oil and/or grill spices provide a better colour but increase the risk of burning the surface of the meat.
Turbo Max. Grill (gratin preparation) Using the hot air grill means that the food is ready faster and has a more even colouring than by using the grill function. Grill the heating element provides more even colouring and the fan circulates the hot air. Perfect for use with “high” courses, for example grilling pork, which is to have the same colour all round. Pie/pizza setting This function is excellent for the preparation of pies, gratin or pizza. When preparing pizza, place it in the middle slot.
Heat retention setting To keep food warm. Drying/Thawing For thawing frozen food. Thawing Set the oven function. When thawing meat, fish and glazed or filled baked products, the thermostat knob should be at zero. Grids and plates can be placed at different levels if there is a lot to thaw. Timing can not be precise, so it is always a good idea to check with a probe.
Cleaning and care Never use a steam cleaner when cleaning the cooker! Cleaning the cooker The easiest way to clean the oven is by using a clean cloth, hot water and a little washingup liquid directly after the oven has been used. NEVER USE SCOURING AGENTS OR OTHER ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES. Remember that the anti-tip guard does not function when you have pulled out the cooker in order to clean behind it.
Cleaning stainless steel surfaces (APPLIES ONLY TO STAINLESS STEEL COOKERS) The stainless steel surfaces are best cleaned with a soft cloth and the cleaning agent provided. You can also try window cleaning agents. If the surface is very dirty, you can try spirit such as technical spirit. NEVER USE SCOURING AGENTS or other abrasive substances. Neither should you use scouring materials such as wire wool or sponges with an abrasive surface.
The blade scraper KEEP THE BLADE SCRAPER OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Use the blade scraper with care, the blade is extremely sharp. Use the scraper to remove boil-over from the ceramic glass plate. Do not use the scraper or other sharp implements on the silicon edge since this implies a safety risk and can cause damage. HOW TO USE THE BLADE SCRAPER : 1 Pull back the guard so that the blade is visible (SEE ILLUSTRATION). 2 Make sure that the blade is clean and whole, otherwise it could damage the plate.
Cleaning the oven in order to facilitate cleaning, the step units or baking plate rails should be removed, see page 49. Removing the rails The baking plate rails are removed in the same way as the step unit, see page 49. THE CATALYSIS ENAMEL on the oven walls and top is porous and has a certain self-cleaning effect. The oven bottom, on the other hand is made of a smooth and rather harder enamel so that you can scrape off spilled material with a spatula or something similar.
SMOOTH ENAMEL Do this if the bottom of the oven is very dirty: 1 Spill or boil-over that has become stuck can be loosened with a spatula or something similar. 2 Spread soft soap on the bottom of the oven with a sponge. 3 Close the door.
