Congratulations on choosing this high-quality appliance
which will provide you with years of devoted service in the
household.
Please read the instruction manual carefully so that you
can enjoy all the advantages which this appliance has to

a description of the individual parts of your new cooker
work and how to use them.
The tables are designed to enable you to operate your
appliance step-by-step. You will find popular dishes, the
correct kitchen utensils, the height at which they should
be inserted and the optimum settings. All of which have,
of course, been tested in our own cookery workshop.
There are also a number of tips on maintenance and
cleaning so that your appliance will maintain its
appearance over a long period of time. And just in case
you do have any problems with the appliance, the last few
pages contain information on how you can rectify minor
faults yourself.
If you do have any questions look first in the index. This
will help you to find out quickly exactly what you want to
know.
Our contribution to protecting the environment – we use
chlorine-free bleached paper and recycled paper.

Installation and connection Important
1.Slowly pull out the drawer.
2.A peg is located on both sides of the drawer. These
serve to guide the drawer into the guide rail. Once the
left and right-hand pegs are free of the guide rail, you
can remove the drawer in an upward direction.
3.Use a coin to turn the adjustable feet higher or lower
until the cooker is positioned horizontally. To facilitate
adjustment of the cooker feet, simply tilt the cooker
slightly.
Insert the drawer again.
❑Our appliances comply with all current safety
regulations for electric appliances. Repairs must only be
carried out by after-sales service technicians who have
been trained by the respective manufacturer. Improper
repairs can lead to risk of serious injury to the user.
❑The surfaces of heating and cooking appliances
become hot during operation. In particular, the inner
surfaces of the oven, the heating elements and the
steam outlet become very hot. Keep children at a safe
distance.
❑Remain in the vicinity of the food when cooking with fat
or oil. Oil that overheats can ignite. Never add water to
burning fat or oil. Risk of fire!
In the event of fire, extinguish the flames by covering
the pan and switch off the hotplate.
❑The connecting cords of electrical appliances must not
come into contact with the hot cooking surfaces or
become trapped in the hot oven door, as this could
result in damage to the connecting cord's insulating
jacket.
❑Never store combustible items in the oven cavity, as
these could ignite in the event of unintentional
appliance startup. Do not place combustible items on
top of the hob.
❑In the event of a fault, switch off the cooker fuse in the
fuse box.
❑This appliance must be used for the preparation of food
only.
❑Switch off the appliance immediately if hair-line cracks
or fissures occur on the hob. Switch off the cooker fuse
in the fuse box.
❑Watch the residual heat indicator. This warns you of
hotplates that are still cold.
❑This appliance complies with all regulations for heating
appliances. The switches and oven handle may
become hot when the appliance is operated at a high
temperature for a long period of time.
Important
Safety information
Levelling the cooker: The cooker features height-adjustable feet that can be
adjusted to compensate for slight depressions in the floor
surface. The drawer in the base of the cooker must be
pulled out in order to gain access to the cooker feet.

Important
10 11
❑Never place a baking tray or aluminium foil on the oven
cavity floor, as this would result in the oven heat being
trapped. The baking and roasting times would no
longer be maintained and the enamel could be
damaged.
❑Never pour water into the hot oven. It could damage
the enamel.
❑Fruit juices that drip from the baking tray will leave
stubborn stains that will not be removable. When
cooking soft fruit cakes it is best to use the deeper
universal pan.
❑Do not sit or stand on the opened oven door.
❑The oven door must always close properly. Keep the
door seal areas clean.
❑Never place hot items (e.g. hot baking trays) into the
drawer in base, otherwise it could be damaged.
❑Before using automatic self-cleaning, remove any loose
soil from the oven. Risk of fire!

Introducing: Your new cooker
Different types of heating modes are available for the
oven, enabling you to select the best method for
cooking.
Top/bottom heating
This ensures the even distribution of heat onto the cake
or roast from the top and bottom of the oven.
This type of heating is ideal for baking bread, biscuits,
cheese cakes or fruit cakes on one oven shelf level.
Top and bottom heating is also suitable for cooking
lean roasts of beef, veal and game in an open or closed
roasting pan.
Bottom heat
This involves the emission of heat from the bottom part
of the oven only. Bottom heat is ideal for tureens and
puddings in bain-marie, as well as crispy cake bases.
Bottom heat with circulating air
This function uses bottom and ring heating element
with circulating air. It is ideal for baking pizza and is also
suitable for flat cakes with juicy topping.
3D Hot air system
This system uses seperate heating elements -top, bottom
and ring heating element at the rear of the oven-to ensure
perfect even heat distribution around the oven. This
optimum heat distribution and constant circulation of hot
air enables you to bake similtaneously on two levels.
Sweet and savoury items, as biscuits and puff pastry, can
be evenly baked on three self levels simultaneously. Select
an oven temperature approximately 20-30ÆC lower than
for top and bottom heating. 3D system is particularly
suitable for defrosting, sterillizing and drying.
∞
Radiant grilling
The entire surface under the grill heating element becomes
hot. This is ideal for grilling steaks, sausages, fish or toast.
Grilling with circulating air
This type of heating involves the grill heating element and
the fan switching on and off alternately. During the pause
in heating, the fan circulates the heat generated by the grill
around the food. This ensures that pieces of meat are
crisped and brown on all sides and that the oven remains
cleaner than in top and bottom heating.
Large roasts, poultry and fish can also be cooked superbly
without a rotary spit and without preheating.
x
ˆ
°Fast preheating
Using this function you can preheat the oven at a really
short time. The grill element and heat from below are in
operation.
This is how fast preheating works:
1. Set the function selector at ° .
2. Set the temperature selector. The pilot lamp lights up.
3. When the set temperature has been reached, the oven
indicator light goes out. You can now select the function
you prefer and place the tray in the oven.
This is what to do:

Cooking
Please observe the following information to ensure the
long-lasting attractiveness of your hob and avoid damage:
❑Saucepans and frying pans should not have a rough
base otherwise they will scratch the hob surface.
❑Do not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic
containers. These materials will melt.
❑The base of the saucepan or frying pan must be clean
and dry before it is placed onto the hotplate.
❑Do not allow enamel pans to boil dry as this could
damage the base of the pan and the ceramic surface.
❑If you are using special cookware, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
❑Do not use the hob as a storage or work surface.
Grains of salt, sugar or sand (which are sometimes left
when vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on
the hob.
❑Ensure that no hard or sharp object is dropped onto
the hob, otherwise it could be damaged as a result.
❑If any food is spilt or boils over, remove it while still hot
using the glass scraper.
❑Important: Melted sugar or food with a high sugar
content that has boiled over must be removed from the
hot cooking zone immediately by means of the glass
scraper.
❑Do not use a protective foil on the hob.
❑Do not place hot saucepans or frying pans on the hob
frame.

Hob discoloration ❑Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmer) is caused by
particles rubbing off the bases of some pans or by
using unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed using
Stahl-Fix, but it is a time-consuming job. Our after-sales
service will remove such stains at a charge. Aggressive
or abrasive cleaning agents will rub off the decor,
causing dark patches.
Any food residues that were not removed and have
become baked on will also cause hob discoloration.
Pitting caused by melted
sugar or food with a high
sugar content.

discoloration due to wear
from pan bases or through
the use of an unsuitable
cleaning agent.
Scratches caused by salt,
sugar, sand or rough pan
bases.
