6 Safety - ENGLISH
Safety during operation
WARNING!
Always supervise the cooking process continuously.
WARNING!
Risk of fire! Overheated fat and oil may ignite. Never leave cooking with fat or oil unattended.
WARNING!
Risk of fire! Make sure the air vents are never covered or obstructed in any way.
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
• Cookware and accessible parts of the product may become very hot during use. Be careful not to touch
hot parts.
• The oven door may become very hot during operation.
• Do not place metal objects like knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the cooking zones, as these objects can
become very hot.
WARNING!
• Only use the grill with the oven door closed.
• Use oven mitts or meat tongs. The grill heater, grid, and other oven accessories get very hot during
grilling.
CAUTION!
• Make sure the cooking zone and the bottom of the cookware are clean and dry before use to ensure
better heat conduction and prevent damage.
• Do not place wet cookware or lids covered in steam on the cooking zones. Moisture may damage the
cooking zones.
• Do not cool down the hot cookware by placing it on the cooking zones that were not in use. The
condensed water that appears under the cookware bottom may aid corrosion.
CAUTION!
Do not turn the temperature selector below the zero position when changing the oven temperature. This can
damage the thermostat.
CAUTION!
• Make sure the cookware bottom fits the diameter of the cooking zone. If the cookware is too small, a
part of the heat is lost and the cooking zone may be damaged.
• Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil. Aluminium foil prevents air circulation in the oven, hinders
the cooking process, and ruins the enamel coating.
• Do not place baking trays or other cookware on the bottom of the oven.
• Do not insert the deep baking tray into the first guide.

GETTING STARTED
Before you use the cooker
1. Remove all transport packaging and equipment from the cooker.
2. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
3. If the cooker has cast iron plates, set the hotplate knobs to level 4 and leave them on for 30 minutes without using
any dishes. As the cooking zones heat up, some smoke may appear on the cooking hob surface. Thus, the cooking
zone finish reaches its maximum resistance.
4. Heat up the oven without food to 275°C for 60minutes. Ventilate the room as the cooker will omit the characteristic
smell of a new appliance.
WARNING! Make sure all packaging remnants have been removed from the cooking compartment.

Cooking with the hob - ENGLISH 17
COOKING WITH THE HOB
Hob surface
Here is some advice on how to use and maintain the hob surface.
WARNING!
Risk of fire! Overheated fat and oil may ignite. Never leave cooking with fat or oil unattended.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the bottom of the cookware are clean and dry before use to ensure better heat
conduction and prevent damage.
• Do not place wet cookware or lids covered in steam on the cooking zones. Moisture may damage the cooking zones.
• Do not cool down the hot cookware by placing it on the cooking zones that were not in use. The condensed water that
appears under the cookware bottom may aid corrosion.
NOTE!
Prolonged use of the cooking zones may case may discolour the edge of the cooking zone. Such
discolouration does not affect function and is not covered by warranty.
Suitable cookware
For the best results and to prevent damage, make sure you use suitable cookware.
• Use quality cookware with a flat and stable bottom.
• Make sure the cookware bottom fits the diameter of the cooking zone.
When purchasing cookware, note that the indicated diameter usually refers to the upper edge or the
lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the bottom.
• Cookware made of tempered glass, with a special ground bottom can be used if its diameter fits the cooking zone.
Cookware with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.
Turn on and off the cooking zones
1. Rotate the knob to turn on the cooking zone.
You can set the heating power in steps from 1 to 6.
2. Turn off the cooking zone by rotating the knob to 0.
Turn off the cooking zone 3 to 5 minutes before the food is ready to make use of the residual heat
and save energy.
NOTE!
Cooking zones indicated with a red dot in the middle are rapid cooking zones. Rapid cooking zones use more
power and can heat up quicker than other cooking zones.
Save energy
Here are some tips on how you can save energy.
• Make sure the cookware bottom fits the diameter of the cooking zone. If the cookware is too small, a part of the heat
is lost and the cooking zone may be damaged.
• Use cookware that fits the amount of food you are cooking. Using larger cookware than required consumes more
energy.
• When possible, cover the cookware with a lid.

18 Cooking with the hob - ENGLISH
• If a dish takes long time to cook, use a pressure cooker.
• Vegetables, potatoes, and so on, may be cooked in a smaller amount of water. The food will cook just as well, as long
as the cookware is tightly closed with a lid. After bringing the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a level that just
suffices to maintain a slow simmer.

Cooking with the oven - ENGLISH 19
COOKING WITH THE OVEN
• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking trays. They transmit heat better.
• Cooking many types of pastries one after another saves energy since the oven is already hot. Heating an oven that
has cooled down uses more energy.
• Steam can sometimes form on the inside of the oven during cooking. The steam may condense on the door and the
lid of the cooker. This is normal behaviour and does not affect the operation of the cooker. Wipe of any condensed
water with a cloth.
• If you leave the dish in the oven after it has finished cooking steam may evaporate from it and condense on the front
panel and the oven door.
You can turn off the oven about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process. This will save energy
as the already built up heat is used.
Cooking modes
Bottom heater
Use this oven mode to brown the lower side of food. The bottom heater will radiate heat on the lower side of
the food. Recommended temperature: 180°C.
