damage of this kind. The appliance's
warranty becomes void.
Caution:This appliance is for cooking
purposes only. It must not be used for other
purposes, for example room heating.
Caution:The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the production of heat,
moisture and products of combustion in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated especially when
the appliance is in use: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening of a window, or more
effective ventilation, for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
This appliance is not designed for operation
with an external timer or by remote control.
This appliance may be used by children

Causes of damage
Hob
Caution!
■Only use the burners when cookware has been placed on
top. Do not heat up empty pots or pans. The saucepan base
will be damaged.
■Only use pots and pans with an even base.
■Place the pot or pan centrally over the burner. This will
optimise transfer of the heat from the burner flame to the pot
or ban base. The handle does not become damaged, and
greater energy savings are guaranteed.
■Ensure that the gas burners are clean and dry. The burner
cup and ¶burner cap must be positioned exactly.
■Ensure that the top cover is not closed when the oven is
started up.
Damage to the oven
Caution!
■Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the
cooking compartment floor: do not place accessories on the
cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking
compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.
Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a
temperature of over 50 ºC has been set. This will cause heat
to accumulate. The baking and roasting times will no longer
be correct and the enamel will be damaged.
■Water in a hot cooking compartment: do not pour water into
the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause
steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the
enamel.
■Moist food: do not store moist food in the cooking
compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods This will
damage the enamel.
■Fruit juice: when baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not
pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from
the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If
possible, use the deeper universal pan.
■Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the cooking
compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance
door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could
be damaged over time.
■Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the
appliance door will no longer close properly when the
appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be
damaged.Always keep the door seal clean.
■Appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place
any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.
■Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance model,
accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the
cooking compartment as far as they will go.
■Carrying the appliance: do not carry or hold the appliance by
the door handle. The door handle cannot support the weight
of the appliance and could break.

%Top/bottom heating For cakes, bakes and lean joints of
meat (e.g. beef or game) on one
level. Heat is emitted evenly from
the top and bottom.

three levels. The fan distributes the
heat from the heating ring in the
back panel evenly around the
cooking compartment.
6Pizza setting For the quick preparation of frozen
products without preheating, e.g.
pizza, chips or strudel. The bottom
heating element and the ring heat-
ing element in the back panel heat
up.
$Bottom heating For preserving, browning and the
final baking stage. The heat is
emitted from below.
7Hot air grilling For roasting meat, poultry and
whole fish. The grill element and
the fan switch on and off alter-
nately. The fan causes the hot air
to circulate around the dish.
*Grill, small area For grilling small amounts of
steaks, sausages, bread and
pieces of fish. The centre part of
the grill element becomes hot.
(Grill, large area For grilling steaks, sausages, toast
and pieces of fish. The whole area
below the grill heating element
becomes hot.
BDefrost For defrosting, e.g. meat, poultry,
bread and cakes. The fan causes
the warm air to circulate around
the dish.
IRapid heating For rapid preheating of the oven
without accessories.
* Type of heating used to determine the energy efficiency class
in accordance with EN50304.

Temperature selector
Use the temperature selector to set the temperature and the
grill setting.
While the oven is heating up, the ptemperature symbol lights
up in the display. If heating is interrupted, the symbol goes out.
For some settings, it does not light up.
Buttons and display
You can use the buttons to set various additional functions. You
can read the values that you have set in the display.
The cooking compartment
The oven light is located in the cooking compartment. A cooling
fan protects the oven from overheating.
Oven light
During operation, the oven light in the cooking compartment is
on.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air
escapes above the door.
So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly
after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain
period afterwards.
Caution!
do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise the oven will
overheat.
Your accessories
The accessories supplied with your appliance are suitable for
making many meals. Ensure that you always insert the
accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
There is also a selection of optional accessories, with which
you can improve on some of your favourite dishes, or simply to
make working with your oven more convenient.
Inserting accessories
You can insert the accessories into the cooking compartment
at 5 different levels. Always insert them as far as they will go so
that the accessories do not touch the door panel.
The accessories can be pulled out approximately halfway until
they lock in place. This allows dishes to be removed easily.
When sliding the accessories into the cooking compartment,
ensure that the indentation is at the back. They can only lock in
place from this position.
Note: The accessories may deform when they become hot.
Once they cool down again, they regain their original shape.
This does not affect their operation.
Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and
push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or
left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult
to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be
damaged.
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HEZ number.
