SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always keep children away from the cooker.
While in operation direct contact with the cooker may cause burns!
Ensure that small items of household equipment, including connection leads, do not touch
the hot oven or the hob as the insulation material of this equipment is usually not resistant
to high temperatures.
 Do not leave the cooker unattended when frying. Oils and fats may catch re due to
overheating or boiling over.
Do not allow the hob to get soiled and prevent liquids from boiling over onto the surface
of the hob. This refers in particular to sugar which can react with the ceramic hob and
cause irreversible damage. Any spillages should be cleaned up as they happen.
Do not place pans with a wet bottom on the warmed up heating zones as this can cause
irreversible changes to the hob (irremovable stains).
 Use pans that are specied by the manufacturer as designed for use with a ceramic
hob.
If any defects, deep scratches, cracks or chips appear on the ceramic hob, stop using the
cooker immediately and contact the service centre.
Do not switch on the hob until a pan has been placed on it.
Do not use pans with sharp edges that may cause damage to the ceramic hob.
Do not look directly at the halogen heating zones (not covered by a pan) when they are
warming up.
Do not put pans weighing over 15 kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25
kg on the hob.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can
scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.
 Do not use the cooker in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be xed by an
appropriately qualied and authorised person.
In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power and report
the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
The rules and provisions contained in this instruction manual should be strictly observed.
Do not allow anybody who is not familiar with the contents of this instruction manual to
operate the cooker.
The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heat-
ing) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.

Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, at bases can save up to 1/3
on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times
as much energy!
Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating zone.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
heating zone.
Ensure heating zones and pan bases
are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
Do not uncover the pan too often
(a watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Switch off the oven in good time and make
use of residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch off heating
zones 5 to 10 minutes before nishing cook-
ing. This saves up to 20% on energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
switch off the oven 10 minutes before the
end time.
Important! When using the timer,
set appropriately shorter cooking
times according to the dish being
prepared.
Only grill with the ultrafan after closing
the oven door.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

INSTALLATION
Installing the cooker
The kitchen should be dry and airy and
have effective ventilation according to the
existing technical provisions.
The room should be equipped with a ven-
tilation system that pipes away exhaust
fumes created during combustion. This
system should consist of a ventilation
grid or hood. Hoods should be installed
according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The cooker should be placed so
as to ensure free access to all control
elements.
 Coating or veneer used on tted furniture
must be applied with a heat resistant
adhesive (100°C). This prevents surface
deformation or detachment of the coat-
ing. If you are unsure of your furniture’s
heat resistance, you should leave ap-
proximately 2 cm of free space around
the cooker. The wall behind the cooker
should be resistant to high temperatures.
During operation, its back side can warm
up to around 50°C above the ambient
temperature.
The cooker should stand on a hard, even
oor (do not put it on a base).
Before you start using the cooker it should
be leveled, which is particularly important
for fat distribution in a frying pan. To this
purpose, adjustable feet are accessible
after removal of the drawer. The adjust-
ment range is +/- 5 mm.
Mounting the overturning prevention
bracket.
The bracket is mounted to prevent overtur-
ning of the cooker. When the overturning
prevention bracket is installed, a child who
climbs on the oven door will not overturn the
appliance.

Choice of cookware
Choose a pan with a diameter that is at least as large as the heating zone. Do not use pans
with a concave or convex base. Always remember to put a proper cover on the pan. We
recommend the use of pans with thick, even bases.
If the heating zones and pans are solied it is impossible to make full use of the heat.
Heat level selection
The heating zones have different levels of heat. The level of heat can be adjusted gradually
by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left.
The yellow light turned on means the ceramic hob is working.

OPERATION
Zone heating indicator
Zone heating indicator
If the temperature of a heating zone exceeds
50°C this is signalled by an indicator which
lights up for that zone.
When the heating indicator lights up it warns
the person using the cooker against touching
a hot heating zone.
For about 5 to 10 minutes after a heating
zone is switched off it will still have residual
heat that can be used, for example to warm
up or keep dishes warm without switching on
another heating zone.

16
OPERATION
Oven with automatic air
circulation
(including fan)
The oven can be warmed up using the bottom
and top heaters, as well as the grill. Operation
of the oven is controlled by the oven function
knob – to set a required function you should
turn the knob to the selected position, as well
as the temperature regulator knob – to set a
required function you should turn the knob to
the selected position.
The oven can be switched off by setting both
of these knobs to the position “”/“0”.
Caution!
When selecting any heating func-
tion (switching a heater on etc.) the
oven will only be switched on after
the temperature has ben set by the
temperature regulator knob.
0 Oven is off
Independent oven lighting
Set the knob in this position to light up
the oven interior.
Roaster on.
Roasting is used for cooking of small
portions of meat: steaks, schnitzel,
fish, toasts, Frankfurter sausages,
(thickness of roasted dish should not
exceed 2-3 cm and should be turned
over during roasting).
Defrosting
Only fan is on and all heaters are off.
Rapid Preheating
Top heater, roaster and fan on. Use to
preheat the oven.
Fan and combined grill on
When the knob is turned to this posi-
tion, the oven activates the combined
grill and fan function. In practice, this
function allows the grilling process to
be speeded up and an improvement
in the taste of the dish. You should
only use the grill with the oven door
shut.
Enhanced roaster (super roaster)
In this setting both roaster and top
heater are on. This increases tem-
perature in the top part of the oven’s
interior, which makes it suitable for
browning and roasting of larger por-
tions of food.

Oven functions and operation.

17
OPERATION
Switching on the oven is indicated by two
signal lights, R, L, turning on. The Rlight
turned on means the oven is working. If the L
light goes out, it means the oven has reached
the set temperature. If a recipe recommends
placing dishes in a warmed-up oven, this
should be not done before the Llight goes out
for the rst time. When baking, the Llight will
temporarily come on and go out (to maintain
the temperature inside the oven). The Rsig-
nal light may also turn on at the knob position
of “oven chamber lighting”.
Top and bottom heaters on
Set the knob in this position for co-
nventional baking. This setting is ideal
for baking cakes, meat, sh, bread
and pizza (it is necessary to preheat
the oven and use a baking tray) on
one oven level.
Top heater, bottom heater and fan
are on.
This knob setting is most suitable
for baking cakes. Convection baking
(recommended for baking).
When the functions have been
selected but the temperature knob is
set to zero only the fan will be on. With
this function you can cool the dish or
the oven chamber.
Bottom heater on
When the knob is set to this position
the oven is heated using only the
bottom heater. Baking of cakes from
the bottom until done (moist cakes
with fruit stufng).

OPERATION
Use of the grill
The grilling process operates through infrared
rays emitted onto the dish by the incandes-
cent grill heater.
In order to switch on the grill you need to:
Set the oven knob to the position marked
grill.
Heat the oven for approx. 5 minutes (with
the oven door shut).
Insert a tray with a dish onto the appropriate
cooking level; and if you are grilling on the
grate insert a tray for dripping on the level
immediately below (under the grate).
Close the oven door.
Warning!
When using function grill it is rec-
ommended that the oven door is
closed.
When the grill is in use accessible
parts can become hot.
It is best to keep children away from
the oven.

BAKING IN THE OVEN – PRACTICAL HINTS
Baking
we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker;
it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be
put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat
better and shorten the baking time;
shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the
conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in
undercooking the base of cakes;
when using the ultra-fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven
chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber before
the cake is inserted;
before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if
the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into
the cake);
after switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.;
temperatures for baking with the ultra-fan function are usually around 20 – 30 degrees
lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters);
the baking parameters given in Table are approximate and can be corrected based
on your own experience and cooking preferences;
 if information given in recipe books is signicantly different from the values included
in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.
Roasting meat
cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on
the gas burners.
use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high
temperatures;
when roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking
tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven;
it is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during
roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water – do
not pour cold water over the meat.
