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.

7
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.

functions Cooking time or Stop time
or any other oven function is set.

15
Heating the oven without food
Keep children under supervision!
The cooker gets very hot. Do not
forget to remove the packing
material from inside the oven.
The oven must be burnt off before it is used for
the first time. Then do this:
1 Open the oven door and remove all
the accessories from the oven cavity.
2Switch on the oven . Select hot air
by using or . Select a
temperature of 200
o
C. The
temperature can be changed by using
and . The oven door must be
closed.
3 Leave the oven at this setting for
about one hour.
4Move over to the Max. grill function
by using or . Select a
temperature of 200
o
C. The
temperature can be changed by using
and . The oven door must be
closed.
5 Leave the oven at this setting for
about 30 minutes
6Switch off the cooker .
7 Then leave the oven door open for
about two hours and air out the kitchen.
8 Clean theoven, the door and the 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.

16
Removable telescopic runners
To prevent scratches during transport,
the telescopic runners 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.
CAUTION! Make sure that the
cooker anti-tip guard is fitted, see
page 8
The telescopic runners 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
telescopic runners 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 49). When fitting, the rails
are first inserted in the inner hole (1) and
then in the outer (2). Push into position.
NOTE THAT THE LOCATING PIN IS TURNED OUTWARDS AND FORWARDS .
The rails must be in their pushed-in
position when the oven door is
closed.

17
Using grids, baking plates and roasting pan
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. Place the baking plate/roasting pan/
grid in the rear edge and fix against the front
edge. The locating pin fits into a slot under
the edge of the baking plate/roasting pan,
which means that the baking plate/roasting
pan are held in position.The rails must be in
their pushed-in position when the grid/
baking plate/roasting pan are inserted. For
the best shelf stability, make sure that the
bevelled edge is inwards in the oven. Pull
the accessories carefully when using them so
that the plate/pan/grid does not fall off the
rails. Maximum load 20kg (44 lb.).
Using the oven grid
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.).
CAUTION! Make sure that the
locating pin hooks in under 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.

18
Using the ceramic glass plate
The hob can not be used if the oven is not switched on, see page 27.
The hob has four heating zones with:
•
MIN ./ MAX . SIZE on the rear zones.
•
A SWIVEL WINDOW which provides
information about the zone.
•
AUTOMAX , an automatic heater-
whereby the zone heats up rapidly to
the heating level you need (for
cooking/roasting) without it being
necessary to change the knob setting.
•
HEAT WARNER . When you have
switched off a zone, the swivel
window lights up
H as long as the
zone is hotter than about 55°C.
•
AUTOMATIC SWITCH - OFF after a time.
The higher the heating level, the
earlier the zone is switched off.
When you switch on a zone, it lights up for
varying lengths of time depending on the
level you have selected on the knob. In order
to prevent over-heating the zone occasionally
goes out, even in the highest heating
position.
The glass in the hob tolerates heat, cold
and temperature shocks, but is sensitive to
impact. If a spice mill or a spice jar falls
onto it, the glass hob can crack. Never use
the hob to stand on, off-load materials onto
or use as a storage area.

19
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 the cooker knobs to
zero and switch off the extractor fan.
EXTINGUISH A 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
The heating zones
The indication area can show the following:
• that the hob is switched on
• selection of heat retention setting
• - , selected setting
• Automax
• residual heat
• that the child-proof blocking unit (function lock) has been activated
• Faulty function /Over-heating
