The figure represents one of the built-in appliance models. Since the appliances for which
these instructions were drawn up may have different equipment, some functions or
equipment may be described in the manual that may not be present in your appliances.
PUSH-PULL KNOB
Slightly push the knob until it pops out; then, rotate it.
After each use, rotate the knob back to the "off" position and push it back in. The
push-pull knob can only be pushed back when the switch is in the "off" position.

CONTROL LIGHT
Yellow light
The yellow light is on whenever any appliance function is activated.
When a function is selected, the dial of the selected knob will be lit up. These appliances
do not have a yellow light (only with some models).
Oven lighting will be switched on automatically when the cooking system is selected.
WIRE GUIDES
The wire guides allow preparation of the food on four levels (please note that the levels/
guides are counted from the bottom up).
Guides 3 and 4 are intended for grilling.
TELESCOPIC PULL-OUT GUIDES
Telescopic pull-out guides may be fitted for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level.
Pull-out guides can be partly or fully extendible.
OVEN DOOR SWITCH
The switch deactivates oven heating and the fan when the oven door is opened during the
cooking process. When the door is closed, the switch turns the heaters back on.
COOLING FAN
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan that cools the housing and the appliance control
panel.
EXTENDED OPERATION OF THE COOLING FAN
After the oven is switched off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a short while in
order to cool the oven.
OVEN EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
GLASS BAKING DISH is used for cooking
with all oven systems. It can also be used as
a serving tray.
The GRID is used for grilling or as support
for a pan, baking tray or baking dish with
the food.
There is a safety latch on the grid.
Therefore, lift the grid slightly at the front
when pulling it out from the oven.
517671_en.indd 7517671_en.indd 7 17. 10. 2020 09:32:2317. 10. 2020 09:32:23

8
517671
The SHALLOW BAKING SHEET is used for
baking pastry and cakes.
The DEEP BAKING TRAY is used for roasting
meat and baking moist pastry. It can also be
used as a drip tray.
Never place the deep baking tray in the
first guide during the cooking process, except
when grilling food or using the roasting spit
and you are only using the deep tray as a drip
tray.
As baking accessories heat up, their
form may change. This does not affect
their functionality and their original form
will be restored when they cool down.
The grid or the tray should always be
inserted into the groove between the two
wire profiles.
With telescopic extendible guides, first pull
out the guides of one level and place the
grid or the baking tray onto them. Then,
push them in with your hand as far as they
will go.
Close the oven door when the
telescopic guides are retracted all the way
into the oven.

CATALYTIC INSERTS prevent the spraying
fat from sticking to sides of the oven cavity.
The ROTISSERIE (meat skewer) is used
for roasting meat. The set consists of a
skewer support, skewer with screws, and a
removable handle.
The appliance and some of the accessible parts tend to heat up
during cooking. Use oven mitts.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-
up liquid. Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause
scratches, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will
be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the first operation.
517671_en.indd 13517671_en.indd 13 17. 10. 2020 09:32:2617. 10. 2020 09:32:26

517671
COOKING HOB
GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
- The heating zone will quickly reach the set power or temperature, while the area around
the hot cooking zones will remain cook.
- The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
- The hob is also impact-resistant. Even if the cookware is placed onto the hob roughly,
the hob will not be damaged.
- Using the glass ceramic hob as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage
to it.
- Do not use aluminium or plastic cookware on hot cooking zones. Do not place any
plastic objects or aluminium foil on the glass ceramic hob.
- Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on
the hob, the hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible
immediately or only after a while. If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately
cut o the power supply to the appliance.
CONTROL OF THE TWO-RING COOKING
ZONE:
The area of the two-ring cooking zone
can adapt to the size and the form of your
cookware.
To activate the larger heating zone, rotate
the cooking zone knob as far as it will go
(a click will be heard), then set the desired
power level.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
Every cooking zone has a signal light that
lights up when the cooking zone is hot.
When the cooking zone cools down, the
signal light goes out. The residual heat
indicator may also light up if a hot pot or
pan is placed on a cool cooking zone.
517671_en.indd 14517671_en.indd 14 17. 10. 2020 09:32:2617. 10. 2020 09:32:26

15
517671
- Use quality cookware with flat and stable
bottom.
- Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters
should be the same.
- Tempered glass cookware with special
ground bottom may be used on the
cooking zones if its diameter fits that
of the cooking zones. Cookware with
larger diameter may crack due to thermal
tension.
- Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle
of the cooking zone.
- When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached.
First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker
manufacturer's instructions, use the relevant sensor to decrease the cooking power at
the right time.
- Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to
overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the
pot and the cooking zone.
- When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Diameter of the pot and pan bottoms should match the diameter of the cooking zone. If
the pot or pan is too small, a part of the heat will be lost, and the cooking zone may be
damaged.
- If the cooking process allows, use a lid.
- Cookware should be suitably sized given the amount of food. When you cook a small
amount of food in a large pot or pan, more energy is lost.
- If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker.
- Vegetables, potatoes etc. may be cooked in a smaller amount of water. The food will
cook just as well, as long as the pot is tightly closed with a lid. After bringing the water
to a boil, reduce the heat to a level that just suces to maintain a slow simmer.

COOKING SYSTEMS
RAPID PREHEAT
Use this function if you wish to heat the oven to the desired
temperature as quickly as possible. This function is not
appropriate for cooking food. When the oven heats up to the
desired temperature, the heating process is completed.
160
UPPER AND BOTTOM HEATER
The heaters in the bottom and in the ceiling of the oven
cavity will radiate heat evenly into the oven interior. Pastry or
meat can only be baked/roasted at a single height level.
200
TOP HEATER
Only the heater on the oven cavity ceiling will radiate heat
onto the food. Use it to brown the upper side of your dish
(final browning).
180
BOTTOM HEATER
Only the heater on the bottom of the oven cavity will radiate
heat. Use this heater to brown the lower side of the dish.
180
GRILL
Only grill heater, a part of the large grill set, will operate.
This system is used for grilling a smaller amount of open
sandwiches or beer sausages, and for toasting bread.
220
LARGE GRILL
The upper heater and the grill heater will operate. The heat
is radiated directly by the grill heater installed in the oven
ceiling. To boost the heating effect, the upper heater is
activated as well.
This combination is used for grilling a smaller amount of
open sandwiches, meat or beer sausages, and for toasting
bread.
220
GRILL WITH FAN
Grill heater and the fan will operate. This combination is used
to grill meat and to roast larger chunks of meat or poultry at
a single height level. It is also appropriate for dishes au gratin
and for browning to a crispy crust.
170
TOP HEATER AND FAN
The top (upper) heater and the fan will operate. Use this
system to roast larger chunks of meat and poultry. It is also
suitable for dishes au gratin.
