Safety
These warnings have been provided in the interest of your safety. Ensure that you
understand them all before installing or using this appliance. This cooker is intended for
normal household use. Please let us know if you have views or questions about your
cooker and its use. Our address and telephone number are in the ”Service” chapter.
Text marked with a WARNING TRIANGLE concerns safety. READ THIS
INFORMATION VERY CAREFULLY , so that you do not injure yourself and
others, or damage the cooker.
Unpacking
Check that the cooker is in good condition
and undamaged. Transport damage must
be reported immediately to the company
where you bought it.
The packing material can be recycled.
Contact your local authority if you do not
know where you can deposit it.
Do not forget to remove the packing
material from inside the oven before
using the oven.
Installation
Any work required on the cooker must be
carried out by a
QUALIFIED EXPERT . Any
work carried out by non-qualified people
can mean poorer cooker performance and
result in personal injury and/or damage to
property.
For cookers fitted with a plug: Make
sure that the plug is properly inserted into
the wall outlet.
The cooker is heavy. Edges and
corners with which you do not normally
come into contact, can be sharp. Use
gloves when moving the cooker.
THE ANTI - TIP GUARD must be fitted so
that you avoid the cooker tipping when
subjected to abnormal loading.
NOTE! Do not place the cooker on an
extra plinth or other height-increasing
unit. This means more risk that the cooker
will tip over!
Children and the cooker
Children are by nature inquisitive and
interested in most things, including the
cooker. In the interests of safety, we
should like to mention a few things that
you should think about if you have
children or children come to visit:
There must be a bench surface at least
40 cm wide on both sides of the cooker.
If you have
A HEATING PLATE GUARD
for your cooker, then this must be fitted.
THE DOOR LOCK must also be fully
operational.
Never allow children to use the blade-
scraper.
Let children help you at the cooker
but teach them that pots and pans,
ceramic glass plates and ovens become
very hot and retain heat for some time
after use.
TOUCHING THEM CAN RESULT IN
BURNS .
Use
The appliance will be hot during use. Do
not touch the hob or the heatingelements
inside the oven when the appliance is in
use. Never use a cracked ceramic glass
plate. Liquids could, if they boil over, or
during cleaning, penetrate down into the
live electrical components.Disconnect the
electricity to the cooker and contact your
local Service Force Centre for repairs.

5
Never lay aluminium foil, plastic
material or similar on the ceramic glass
plate. If a heating zone is turned on by
mistake, paper/plastic could burn or melt.
Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting
fat, paraffin or other easily ignited
material without supervision. In the event
of fire, turn off the cooker knobs and
switch off the extractor fan.
EXTINGUISH
THE FIRE WITH A POT LID , never use water.
Never stand on the ceramic glass plate.
Check that the cooker is properly
turned off when not in use, with all the
knobs at zero.
Warning! Alcohol and similar
substances,which can form explosive gases,
or other substances that can cause a fire or
explosion must not be used in the oven.
The ceramic glass plate must be used
with the greatest care. For example,
flaming with brandy or other forms of
alcohol can result in traces of fat in the
extractor fan igniting and causing serious
fires. In the same way, flames and
burning fat Can cause injuries.
Do not place chemicals or cleaning
agents in the drawer.
Cleaning
Keep the ceramic glass plate and the oven
clean. Fat and spilled material can cause
much smoke when heated and are also a
possible fire hazard.
While the oven is still hot, you must
use the scraper blade immediately to
remove sugar and boiled-over material
with a high sugar content, for example
marmalade, as well as melted plastic and
foil to avoid damaging the ceramic glass
plate.
Be careful,the blade scraper is very
sharp.
Maintenance & service
Turn all the knobs to zero before
replacing a burned-out oven light bulb.
Before you change the bulb, make sure
that the cooker is disconnected from the
mains. For cookers with a cable, pull out
the plug. For other cookers, disconnect
the power supply by using the universal
pole switch.
Service and repairs should be carried
out by a company that is approved by the
supplier. Use only original spare parts.

Installation
Any work required on the cooker
must be carried out by a
QUALIFIED
EXPERT . The cooker is heavy. Edges
and corners with which you do not
normally come into contact, can be
sharp.
U SE GLOVES when moving the
cooker.
When delivered, the cooker is adapted to a
bench height of 900 mm. The cooker has a
telescopic plinth. You can change the height
so that the cooker suits a bench height from
848 mm up to 933 mm.
Take care when positioning the cooker so
that it does not block the ventilation outlets
(behind the cooker and above the hood). The
cooker must not be pushed in under a tiled
edge or similar.
The cooker must have a bench area on
both sides (see "Safety").
Make sure that the cooker cable is not
crushed when the cooker is moved.

7
Changing plinth height
If you want to change the height, first read
through all the points below before you start.
1Lay down the cooker gently (
SEE
ILLUSTRATION ). Use, for example, the
polystyrene from the packaging
between the cooker and the floor as
protection. Think about placing a
protective layer under the rear lower
corners of the cooker to protect the
floor.
2Unscrew the screws A (4
SCREWS , SEE
ILLUSTRATION ). Pull out the inner base
slightly if you only wish to change the
height. Pull the brackets on which the
wheels and feet are fitted. NOTE! Be
careful, there are sharp edges under
the cooker.
3Screw in the screws again Ain one of
the holes for a bench height of 850 to
920 mm (33.4" to 36.2"). The distance
between the holes varies from 7 to 14
mm (0.3 to 0.5") (
SEE ILLUSTRATION A ).
4Lift the cooker upright and connect it
up electrically. Push the cooker back
into position and make sure that it is
absolutely level before fitting the
safety equipment.
Adjusting the level
The cooker must stand level, for example to
ensure that fat is evenly divided in the
frying-pan. Place a spirit level or a frying
pan containing water on the ceramic glass
plate when you want to check whether the
cooker is level.
If necessary, from the front of the plinth
you can adjust the cooker wheels and feet by
15 mm (0.6"). Use a screwdriver to adjust
the rear wheels and a Polygrip for the front
feet.

The anti-tip guard
The anti-tip guard must be fitted to
prevent the cooker from tipping under
abnormal loading.
The anti-tip guard only functions
when the cooker has been pushed
into position.
THIS HOW TO FIT THE ANTI - TIP
GUARD ON THE COOKER :
1Before fitting the anti-tip guard,
make surethat the cooker has been
adjusted to the correct height and
is standing level (see page 7).
2The attachment (B) is fitted to the
left side when delivered. Measure
out where the anti-tip guard (A) is
to be located, 60 mm (2.4") down
from the edge of the ceramic glass
plate and 50 mm (2.0") from the
wall(cupboard). Screw it firmly
into solid material or use suitable
reinforcement. The entire anti-tip
guard (A+B) can also be located
on the right-hand side (
SEE F IG . 1).
Make sure that the surface
behind the cooker is smooth.
If there are tiles or a moulding
behind the edge of the ceramic
glass plate then there must be a
space with the same dimension
between the anti-tip guard and
the wall. This is so that the anti-
tip guard is firmly attached to
the cooker and functions
correctly.
Check that the anti-tip guard
projects at least 20 mm (0.8")
into the hole in the back of the
cooker (B) when the cooker is
pushed in (
SEE F IG . 2).
NOTE! If the space between the bench
cupboards is greater than the width of the
cooker, then you must adjust the side
measurement if you want to centre the
cooker.

Electrical connections
Any work required on the cooker
must be carried out by a
QUALIFIED
EXPERT . Work carried out by non-
qualified people can impair the
cooker and cause injury to people
and/or damage to property.
The electrical installation is to include a
device whereby it is possible to separate all
the poles of the equipment from the power
supply, with a contact opening of at least
3 mm (0.12").
This requirement must be satisfied for
safety reasons.
The connected rating and voltage are
shown on the data-plate. There is a wiring
diagram on the back of the cooker.
Decor plinth (optional accessory)
NOTE! Take due care when fitting
the base trim to the cooker. Edges
which you do not normally come into
contact with can be sharp.

Burn off the oven
Keep children under supervision!
The cooker gets very hot. Do not
forget to remove the packing
material from inside the oven.
Before you use the oven for the first time,
you must burn it off. Make sure that there is
good ventilation by starting the extractor fan
or opening a window.
Then do this:
1 Open the oven door and remove all
the accessories from the oven cavity.
2 Close the oven door. Start the oven
on Top/bottom . Turn the
temperature knob to 200
o
C.
3Leave the oven at this setting for
about one hour.
4Move over to the grill function. Turn
the function knob to Grill .
5Leave the oven at this setting for
about 30 minutes.
6Turn the function knob to 0 and turn
off the temperature knob.
7Then leave the oven door open for
about two hours and air out the
kitchen.
8Clean the oven, the door andthe oven
step units with hot water and
washing-up liquid. Dry the oven
There may still be a slight smell when the
oven is used for the first time. This will not
affect the food in any way and is not a health
hazard.
Clean the accessories
Wash the shelves, baking tray, etc. with hot
water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.

15
Removable baking plate rails
To prevent scratches during transport,
the removable baking plate rails are
delivered with a protective film. This
coating must be removed from the
rails before they are used, otherwise it
can burn fast and damage the rails.
NOTE! Make sure that the cooker
anti-tip guard is fitted, see page 8
The removable baking plate rails replace the
ordinary oven step units which are fitted
when the cooker is delivered. They consist
of two rails that can be pulled out. The
shelves, the roasting pan and the grid are
laid on top of the rails. A locating pin keeps
the shelf in position (see the illustration).
Using the removable rails facilitates
cooking. For example, when steak or chips
are to be basted, the roasting pan is easily
pulled out on the rails.
Fitting the rails
First remove the oven step units that are
fitted (see page 37). When fitting, the rails
are first inserted in the inner hole (1) and
then in the outer (2). Push into position.
M AKE SURE THAT THE LOCATING PIN IS
TURNED TOWARDS THE OVEN DOOR .
The rails must be in their pushed-in
position when the oven door is
closed.

16
Using grids, plates and roasting pans
It is important for the oven grid, the baking
plate and the roasting pan to be fixed
between the stops at the front and rear edges
of the rails to prevent them from falling off
the rails. The locating pin engages in a slot
under the edge of the baking plate or
roasting pan which keeps the plate or
roasting pan in position. The rails must be in
their pushed-in position when the grid, plate
or roasting pan is inserted. For the best shelf
stability, make sure that the bevelled edge
faces forward in the oven. Pull the
accessories out carefully during use so that
the shelves/roasting pans or tins do not fall
off the rails. Maximum load 20kg (44 lb.).
Oven grid
First position the oven grid at the rear end,
since this makes it easier to fix the front end.
The locating pin is not used for the grid.
The oven grid has a marking on its upper
surface. This marking must be at the front
(towards the oven door) when in use. Make
sure that food placed on the grid is
positioned behind the marking. Otherwise
there is a risk that it will not be cooked
properly at the front.
The grid can be placed in the roasting pan.
The maximum weight to be placed on the
grid is 10kg (22 lb.).
NOTE! Make sure that the locating
pin hooks in under the edge of the
shelf/roasting pan and that the shelf/
roasting pan rests on the rails,
otherwise it can fall off the rails in the
pulled-out position. When the shelf/
roasting pan is removed in the pulled-
out position, the rails must be pushed
back again so that the oven door can
be closed. Use oven gloves because
the rails are hot.

17
Using the ceramic glass plate
The ceramic glass plate has four heating
zones. When you switch on a zone, it lights
up for varying lengths of time depending on
the level you have selected on the knob. Even
at the highest setting, the zone will
occasionally turn off in order to avoid over-
heating.
The heat warning indicator has four
lamps, one for each zone. A lamp lights up if
the zone is hotter than about 55°C, even
after it has been switched off.
The glass in the ceramic glass plate tolerates
heat, cold and temperature shocks, but is
sensitive to impact. A spice mill that falls
onto it can crack the ceramic glass plate.
Never stand on the ceramic glass plate.

18
Never use a cracked ceramic glass
plate or a cooker with a cracked timer
glass.
Immediately after use (while the
ceramic glass plate is still hot) use the
scraper blade to remove sugar and
boiled-over material with a high
sugar content such as, for example,
marmalade, as well as melted plastic
and foil to avoid damage to the plate.
Never leave a deep fat fryer, melting
fat, paraffin or other easily ignited
material without supervision. In the
event of fire, turn off the cooker
knobs and switch off the extractor
fan.
EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A
POT LID , never use water.
Make sure that there is no sand, sugar
or salt on the cooking utensils. Sand
can cause scratches, while sugar and
salt can ruin the ceramic glass plate.
Always dry pots and pans before
placing them on the ceramic glass plate. The
coloured decor on the ceramic glass plate can
become worn and scratched
in time after it has been used.
The heating zones
The knobs for the heating zones are marked
from 0 to 12, where 12 provides the highest
heat. Do this if you want to use the front
zones or the smaller rear one:
1Turn clockwise to the desired
position on the knob to the zone that
you have chosen.
2Zero the knob anti-clockwise after
use.

19
Do this if you want to use the rear right-hand
large heating zone:
1Turn the knob clockwise past the
symbol after the figure 12,
2then turn the knob back to the desired
position between 12 and 1. Zero the
knob anti-clockwaise after use.
You must experiment to find the setting and
the heating zone that suits you and your
pans, depending on the food that you are
preparing. Here is a little guidance (to find
the right heating setting):
Choice of pan/frying pan
A cooker with a ceramic glass plate makes
greater demands on your pots and pans that a
cooker with heating plates. Remember the
following:
• Check the bottom of the pans. Pans with
a convex bottom (bulging outwards)
tend to swivel on the ceramic glass plate
and provide poor heating contact.
• Aluminium has good heat
conductivity, but can leave silvery
marks on the plate.
• Casseroles and pans that are made of
glass or are enamelled with deep
patterns cause more wear if they are
pulled backwards and forwards on
the plate than pots and pans made of
other materials.
