the oven.
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 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.

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 plate.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
heating plate.
Ensure heating plates 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
plates 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.
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.

How to use the heating plate
OPERATION
An appropriately selected pan saves energy. A pan should have a thick, at base with a di-
ameter equal to the plate diameter, as in that case heat is transferred most efciently.
The level of heat can be adjusted gradually by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left.
Switching on the plate results in a yellow signal light on the control panel turning on.
Caution!
Ensure the plate is clean – a soiled
zone does not transfer all of the
heat.
Protect the plate against corrosion.
Switch off the plate before a pan is
removed.
Do not leave pans with prepared
dishes based on fats and oils unat-
tended on the switched – on plate; hot
fat can spontaneously catch re.

Separate oven lighting
By setting the knob to this position, the
lighting inside the oven is switched on.
Use, for example, when washing the
oven chamber.
Bottom and top heaters on
The thermostat enables the user to set
the temperature within a range from
50°C to 250°C. Use for baking.
Bottom heater on
When the knob is set to this position,
the oven is heated using only the bot-
tom heater. Use for, e.g. nal baking
from the bottom.
OPERATION
Oven functions and operation.
The oven can be heated up using the bottom
and top heaters, and the grill (if any). The
oven is controlled by one knob handling,
serving as a work type switch integrated with
a temperature regulator.

Possible knob positions
Oven on and off
In order to switch on the oven you need to:
set required working conditions of the
oven, its temperature and a mode of
heating,
set the knob to the required position, turn-
ing it right.
Switching on the oven is indicated by two
signal lights, yellow and red, turning on. The
yellow light turned on means the oven is work-
ing. If the red 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 red
light goes out for the rst time. When baking,
the red light will temporarily come on and go
out (to maintain the temperature inside the
oven). The yellow signal light may also turn
on at the knob position of “oven chamber
lighting”.
Switching off the oven – in order to switch off
the oven, set the knob to the “0” knob position,
turning it left. The signal light should go out.
Top heater on
When the knob is set to this position,
the oven is heated using only the
top heater, e.g. use for, nal baking
from above.

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 appropri-
ate 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;
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.;
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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
By ensuring proper cleaning and mainte-
nance of your cooker you can have a sig-
nicant inuence on the continuing fault-free
operation of your appliance.
Before you start cleaning, the cooker must
be switched off and you should ensure
that all knobs are set to the “”/“0” posi-
tion. Do not start cleaning until the cooker
has completely cooled.
Electric hob
From time to time a lukewarm heating plate
should be covered with a thin layer of an avail-
able lubricating agent,. It is recommended to
use engine oil applied for sewing machines or
bicycles. Do not apply edible oil, because its
salt contents may damage the plates. Dried
up spillage on the surface or rim of the plates
should be removed with a dry pad or brush.
Do not use abrasives, because they may
cause the forming of rust on the plates. By no
means rub the plates with abrasive paper.
Take care not to let salt drop on the plates. It
dissolves in water poducing ugly rust spots.
Use only dry pots and do not put wet lids on
the plates. The enamel parts of the cooker
can be wiped with a gentle rinsing solution
and dried with a soft cloth. Spillage can be
wiped during cooking with a dry cloth, to
prevent building up of hard to clean burnt
deposits.
Chrome plated parts (e.g. rings around heat-
ing plates can be easily polished with a soft
cloth).
