Safety
Cookers are being developed the whole time. You cannot always use your new cooker
in the same way as your old one. For this reason, you should read the instructions
carefully and familiarise yourself with your new cooker and what it can do. 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 TEXT
VERY CAREFULLY , so that you do not injure yourself or 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. For direct deliveries,
any transport damage must be notified to
Customer Services within seven days in
accordance with the consignment note.
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.
IMPORTANT! Do not place the
cooker on an extra plinth or other height-
increasing unit. This meansmore 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 (16") 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 function properly.
Never allow children to use the blade-
scraper.
Let children help you at the cooker,
but teach them that pots and pans, hobs
and ovens become very hot and retain
heat for some time after use.
TOUCHING
THEM CAN RESULT IN BURNS .
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

5
electricity to the cooker and contact
service for repairs.
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 othersubstances that cancause 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 fact 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.
USE 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 tol 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.

Changing plinth height
If you want to change the height, first read
through all the points below before you start.
1 Lay 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.
2 Unscrew 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.
IMPORTANT ! Be careful, there are
sharp edges under the cooker.
3 Screw in the screws again Ain one of
the holes for a bench height of 850 to
920 mm. The distance between the
holes varies from 7 to 14 mm (
SEE
ILLUSTRATION A ).
4 Lift 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. 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.
HOW TO FIT THE ANTI - TIP GUARD
ON THE COOKER :
Before fitting the anti-tip guard, make
sure that 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.
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.
Base trim (optional accessory)
CAUTION! Take due care when
fitting the base trim to the cooker.
Edges which you do not normally
come into contact with can be sharp.
IMPORTANT ! ONLY FITS COOKERS WITH
A HEIGHT OF 900 MM .
Remove the protective film before fitting the
base trim.
1 Remove the drawer from the cooker
by lifting it diagonally upwards and
then pulling it all the way out.
2 Fit the base trim by pressing it firmly
onto the plinth (snap attachment, no
tools needed).
3 Replace the drawer.
