Before First Use
Before using the ovens for the first time we recommend that you
clean them with soapy water, rinse carefully and then heat on each
of the below programmes at maximum temperature for the specified
time. A slightly unpleasant smell may be produced, caused by grease
remaining on the oven elements from the production process.
Please note:
• This range cooker has been fitted with a cooling fan to achieve
maximum eciency and to maintain low surface temperatures. The
cooling fan will switch on automatically when the ovens reach a
preset temperature and switch o automatically when the ovens
have cooled suciently, even after the ovens are switched o.
• The range cooker is equipped with a safety thermostat which will
switch o the ovens to prevent overheating. Overheating can be
caused by incorrect use of an oven or defective components. If
an oven switches o due to overheating, wait for the oven to cool
down before using it again. If the error continues, contact CDA
Customer Care.

How to Use the Hob
The ceramic surface of the hob allows fast transmission of heat
vertically from the heating elements under the glass to the pans on
the hob top.
The heat does not spread horizontally, so the hob top remains
relatively cool only a few centimetres from the zone in use.
Please note:
The heating elements are equipped with a temperature limiter that will
switch the element o to prevent damage to the hob.
The temperature limiter may also operate when incorrect pans
are used or pans are poorly positioned. This will aect cooking
performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen in the zone as the straight line
out from the centre of the element. This is not a fault with the hob.
Using the single zones
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which
reaches the required cooking temperature quickly.
Before using the hob, first check the hob and the pan are clean and
dry, then place the pan correctly onto the zone.
The power level for each zone can be regulated by turning the
control knob to the required level between 0 (o) and MAX
(maximum).

9
Using the dual zones
The dual zones are formed of two separate coils of resistant material.
To turn on the dual zone, turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the position.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators which warn when
any of the zones are hot to the touch, both during and after cooking.
A light will show on the display to indicate a zone is hot until the zone
is at a safe temperature to touch, when the residual heat indicator will
switch o.
Please note:
You should avoid touching the zones when the hob is in use, or
when a residual heat indicator is on.
In the event of a power cut, the residual heat indicators will illuminate
after the power supply is restored. However, when there is no power
supply to the hob the residual heat indicators will not work, so extra
care must be taken.

10
Ecient Use of Your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only
use pans with flat bottoms and choose appropriate zones depending
on the sizes of the pans. The most ecient use of the hob is shown
below, where the pans and zones are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your
appliance.
Turn o each zone a few minutes before the end of cooking time.
The residual heat in the zones will continue to cook the food for the
remaining cooking time.
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a
suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base should
be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch
the ceramic hob top.
Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (cm) Maximum Pan Size (cm)
140 mm 14 16
180 mm 16 20
220 mm 20 24
fig.2

11
Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table
above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as possible, e.g. dull
and dark.
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the
hob. Glassware and pans with rough circular machined bases should
not be used.
Please note:
At the end of cooking, remember to turn o the hob.
