to the heat level you require. The yellow hotplate warning light will
illuminate to show a hotplate is turned on.
2. When you have nished cooking rotate the control back to the “0”
position. The hotplate warning lamp will turn o.
Choosing the Right Cookware
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits at, and is the same size as the cooking zone.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Shelf Positions
1. On the wall of the inner cavity there are 5 dierent
shelf guide slots. You can place the shelf at dierent
heights to achieve the best cooking performance
depending on the temperature setting and the size
of food. Position 1 is the highest grill position. The
smallest distance allowed between the food and the
upper heating element is 30 mm
2. Always monitor the food during operation to
ensure that you are not overcooking it.
3. For heavy food, use a baking pan rather than the
oven shelf.

• Insert the shelf with the back stop to the back as show. Make sure it is pointing upwards. This will prevent
dishes falling o the back of the shelf.
• You will notice that about half way along each shelf, it has a curve on each side. This is the rest position of the
shelf when pulling the shelf out of the oven. It will rest in the recess on the oven side wall. This prevents the
shelf from tilting forward when removing cooking pots and trays.

that your cooker is installed between, then allow an extra 40 mm of space around the cooker (20 mm each side).
• The furniture walls adjacent to the cooker must be made of heat resistant material (check with your furniture
supplier). The veneered synthetic material and the glue used must be resistant to a temperature of 100°C in
order to avoid ungluing or deformations.
• The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed-sitting room but not in a room containing a bath
or shower.
• Flammable materials such as curtains, wood, wallpaper, etc. must not be tted immediately behind the
appliance or within 500 mm of the sides.
• Do not place next to a refrigerator.
