HOW TO SAVE ENERGY UNPACKING
Using energy in a
responsible way not only
saves money but also
helps the environment. So
let’s save energy!nd this is
how you can do it:
●Use proper pans for cooking.
A saucepan should never be smaller than
a burner crown.
●Ensure burners, the grate the hob 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.
In particular, ensure that flame opening in
the rings under caps, and opening of
burner nozzles are clean.
●Do not uncover the pan too often(a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the cover door unnecessarily
often.
●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 burner.
●Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
cooking time is greater than 40minutes
cooking time is greater than If the
it is recommended to switch off 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
immediately.
●Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

The following instructions are addressed to
the qualified specialist installing the cooker.
These instructions aim at ensuring that
installation and maintenance activities are
performed as professionally as possible.
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
ventilation 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 instructions. The
cooker should be placed so as to
ensure free access to all control
elements.
●The room should also enable the
necessary air supply for proper gas
combustion. Air supply should be not
less than 2m3/h per 1 kW of burner heat.
The air can be delivered from outside
by a duct with a section of at least 100
cm2, or indirectly from adjoining rooms
which are fitted with ventilation ducts
leading outside.
650mm
2cm 2cm2cm
●If the appliance is used intensively and
for a long time, it may be necessary to
open a window in order to improve
ventilation.
●In terms of protection against the
overheating of surrounding surfaces,
the gas cooker is an X –class
appliance and can be built into
furniture only up to the level of the
cooking hob, that is around 850 mm
above the floor. Raising furniture
construction over this level is
inadvisable. Coating or veneer used
on fitted furniture must be applied with
a heat resistant adhesive( 100℃). This
prevents surface deformation or
detachment of the coating, If you are
unsure of your furniture’s heat
resistance，you should leave
approximately 2 cm of free space
around the cooker. The wall behind
the cooker should be resistant to high
temperatur es. During operation, its
back side can warm up to around 50 ℃
above the ambient temperature.
●The cooker should stand on a hard,
even floor (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 aft er removal of the
drawer. The adjustment range is +/ -
5mm.

250℃ ，for approximately 30 min.),
remove any stains and wash carefully.
When handling the cooker, follow the
safety instructions carefully.
The oven chamber should only be
washed with water and a small
amount of washing - up liquid .
How to use surface burners
Choice of cookware
Mind that the diameter of a pan base is
always larger than the burner flame crown,
and that the pan itself is covered. The
recommended pan diameter is around 2.5
to 3 times larger than the burner diameter,
that is, for:
●An auxiliary burner – a pan with a
diameter of 90 to 150 mm,
●A medium burner – a pan with a
diameter of 160 to 220 mm,
●A large burner – a pan with a diameter
of 200 to 240 mm, and the pan height
should not be greater than its diameter.

In order to perform adjusting operations, take off the knobs. Adjusting elements of the oven
burner are accessible after drawing out the oven chamber floor.
Surface burners applied do not require adjustment of primary air. A correct flame has
distinct internal cones of blue and green colour. A short, humming flame or long, yellow
and smoking one, without clearly outlined cones, shows improper quality of gas in the
household piping or a damaged or soiled burner. In order to check a flame, heat a burner
for around 10 minutes with a full flame, and next turn the valve knob to the economical
flame position. The flame should not go out or jump onto the nozzles.
