cookware on the oven bottom. Aluminium foil would prevent air circulation in the oven,
hinder the cooking process, and ruin the enamel coating.
• Oven door become very hot during operation. A third glass is installed or additional
protection to reduce the temperature of the outside surface (only with some models).
• 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. Only use the
appliance storage drawer to store equipment (baking sheet, drip tray etc.).
• Oven door hinges may be damaged if overloaded. Do not place heavy cookware on
the open oven door and do not lean against the door while cleaning the oven. Before
cleaning the oven, remove the oven door (see chapter »Removing and re-installing the

APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION

425555
Electric ignition
(only with some models)
Gas cooking hob burners can be ignited using the electric
ignition plug which is installed next to each burner. Electric
ignition will only work if the mains cable is connected to the
power supply network outlet. If the electric ignition is out of
order due to a power supply failure or moist ignition plugs,
burners can also be started using a match or a gas lighter.
Oven burner is ignited in the same way.
(only with some models)
Before opening the cover, make sure it is clean and that
there are now liquid residues on it. The cooker cover is
lacquer coated and made of glass; it can only be closed
once the cooking zones have cooled down completely.
The symbol on the product or its packaging indicates
that glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn o all the
burners before shutting the lid.
Setting the time of day is requisite for the use of the
appliance. Oven operation is only possible once the time
of day has been set.

Gas cooking zones
No particular measures or procedures are required prior to
the first use of a gas hob.
• For quick browning, set the burner to the maximum
power initially, and then continue cooking with minimum
power.
• With some models, gas burners are fitted with
thermoelectric protection devices. If the burner flame
is extinguished accidentally or unintentionally (e.g.
when some liquid boils over or when there is draught
in the room), gas supply is automatically cut o, thus
preventing the gas to be emitted into the room.
• If the flame on a gas burner without thermoelectric
protection is accidentally extinguished, the gas will be
emitted into the room!
• Gas burner cover should always be placed very carefully
on the burner crown. Make sure the slots on the burner
crown are never obstructed.

• Correctly selected cookware will enable optimum
cooking time and gas consumption. Pan diameter is the
most important parameter.
• Flames that reach over the edge of a pan that is too
small, can damage the cookware; furthermore, gas
consumption is higher in such cases.
• For combustion, the gas also needs air. If a pan is too
large, air supply to the burner is insucient; as a result,
combustion eect is lesser.

• If the electric ignition should not work due to a power
failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can also be ignited
using a match or a gas lighter. After igniting the gas,
keep the control knob pressed for another ten seconds,
until the flame settles.
• After ignition, keep the button depressed for the
following 10 seconds, until the flame settles.
• The flame can then be set between the maximum and
minimum level. Any setting between ( ) and ( ) is not
recommended, as the flame is not stable in this interval
and may be extinguished.
If the burner hasn’t ignited after the knob has been
depressed for fifteen seconds, close the burner and
wait at least one minute. Then, repeat the ignition
process.
If the burner flame is extinguished (for any reason),
close the burner and wait at least one minute
before attempting to re-ignite it.
• Note: While igniting the burners (applies to triple and
double burner and the Mini Wok), the pans should
already be placed on the grid over the burner.
• To extinguish the flame and close the burner gas
supply, rotate the control knob to the right, to the ‘OFF’
position ( ).

• Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them
with warm water and a conventional detergent. Do not
use abrasive cleaning aids.
• When the oven is heated up for the first time, a specific
odor of a “new appliance” will be discharged; therefore,
ventilate the room thoroughly while the oven heats up.
• Use dark, black silicon coated or enamel coated baking
trays, as these transmit the heat particularly well.
• Only preheat the oven if specifically stated in the recipe
or in the instruction tables herein.
• Heating up an empty oven uses a lot of energy;
therefore, a lot of power is saved if several types of
pastry are cooked consecutively, as the oven is already
heated up.
• Approximately ten minutes before the anticipated end
of the cooking process, the oven may be turned o.
This way, you will save some power and make use of the
accumulated heat.
