WARNING!
Risk of fire!
• Do not store items on the cooking surface.
• Do not store combustible, explosive, volatile or temperature-sensitive items (such as paper, dish cloths,
plastic bags, cleaners or detergents and spray cans) in the oven's storage drawer, as they can ignite
during over operation and cause a fire.
• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil may result in a fire.
Never try to put out a fire with water. Instead turn off the product and cover the flame with, for example, a
lid or a fire proof blanket.
• 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.

GETTING STARTED
Installation
See section "Installation", page 21.
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. Turn on all cooking zones on to the maximum power for 3 to 5 minutes without any cookware on them.
As the cooking zones heat up, some smoke may appear on the cooking hob surface. By heating up the hob once
before using it for the first time, the your hob becomes more resistant from dirt sticking onto it.
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
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.
• If a dish takes long time to cook, use a pressure cooker.

10 Cooking with the hob
© 2020, Elon Group AB. All rights reserved.
• 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 11
© 2020, Elon Group AB. All rights reserved.
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
Top heater
Use this oven mode to brown the upper side of food (final browning). The top heater will radiate heat on the
upper side of the food. Recommended temperature: 180°C.
Bottom heater
