SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch
the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Warning: Ensure that the appliance is switched o󰀨 before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibillity of electric shock.
You should not use steam cleaning devices to clean the
appliance.
Danger of burns! Hot steam may escape when you open the
oven door. Be careful when you open the oven door during
or after cooking. Do NOT lean over the door when you open
it. Please note that depending on the temperature the steam
can be invisible.
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 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
repeatedly 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 o󰀨 the oven in good time and
make use of residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch o󰀨 heating
zones 5 to 10 minutes before nishing
cooking. 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 o󰀨 the oven 10 minutes
before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the
door seals. Clean up any spillages im-
mediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.
