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 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 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 o󰀨 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 e󰀨ective 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.

INSTALLATION
Electrical connection
Warning!
All electrical work should be carried out by a
suitably qualied and authorised electrician.
No alterations or wilful changes in the electric-
ity supply should be carried out.
Fitting guidelines
The cooker is manufactured to work with
three–phase alternating current (400V
3N~50Hz). The voltage rating of the cooker
heating elements is 230V. Adapting the
cooker to operate with one-phase current is
possible by apropriate bridging in the connec-
tion box according to the connection diagram
below. The connection diagram is also found
on the cover of the connection box. Remem-
ber that the connection wire should match
the connection type and the power rating of
the cooker.
The connection cable must be secured in a
strain–relief clamp.
Warning!
Remember to connect the safety circuit to the
connection box terminal marked with . The
electricity supply for the cooker must have a
safety switch which enables the power to be
cut o󰀨 in case of emergency. The distance
between the working contacts of the safety
switch must be at least 3 mm.
Before connecting the cooker to the power
supply it is important to read the informa-
tion on the data plate and the connection
diagram.

Choice of cookware
Choose a pan with a diameter that is at least as large as the heating zone. For roasting tins
there is a special widened heating zone of 140x250. 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 di󰀨erent levels of heat. The level of heat can be adjusted gradually
by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left.

17
Zone heating indicator
Switching on the wider heating zone*
Important!
Only switch on a heating zone by
turning the knob clockwise. Turning
the knob in the opposite direction can
cause damage to the switch.
OPERATION
With the settings 0 1 2 3 the knob
operates the internal heating zone and it is
possible to smoothly control the amount of
heat transferred to a pan. Turning the knob
temporarily to the position marked causes
the external heating zone to be switched on.
From that point, you can smoothly control the
amount of heat trasferred to a pan by both
heating zones (internal and external) as the
internal switch will switch both zones o󰀨 only
after the knob is set to position 0.
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 o󰀨 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.
