Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time, read
the operating instructions carefully.
They contain important notes on
safety, on the operation and care of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accidents and dam-
age to the appliance.
Do not let children access the ap-
pliance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any fu-
ture user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, defrost, cook,
dry fruit etc, and to grill. Any other
usage is at the owner’s risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer can-
not be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the ap-
pliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate. Consult
a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dan-
gerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable)
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven and the hob cooking areas.
Great care should be taken to en-
sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. The hob and also external parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
vents and control panel can become
quite hot. Turn pan handles away from
the edge to prevent children from pull-
ing pans over.
Oven
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended:
– when placing food in the oven, turn-
ing or removing it.
When working with “Conventional” heat-
ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the guard become
very hot, and there is a danger of being
burnt.
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burn-
ing.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as press-
ure will build up and they will explode.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.

Warning and Safety instructions
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, turn the temperature se-
lector switch to “0°C”. Leave the func-
tion selector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise
there may be a build-up of condensa-
tion which could adversely affect the
oven interior, and externally the control
panel, the worktop surface or surround-
ing kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such
as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.
Ceramic hobs
When switched on the cooking
areas heat up. A residual heat indi-
cator shows whether a cooking zone is
hot.
In the event of any breakages or
cracks occurring in the ceramic
hob it must be switched off immediate-
ly and disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Contact the Service Department.
Do not use the hob until the damaged
ceramic plate has been replaced.
Continued use would be dangerous as
liquids etc. boiling over could pene-
trate to the electrical components
through any crack.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for any other objects.
This could lead to a danger of the ar-
ticle catching fire or melting if there is
any residual heat.
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic hob.
Even a light object such as an egg
cup, could cause damage in certain cir-
cumstances.

Warning and Safety instructions
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-
mium foil to get on to the cooking
zones when they are hot. If this should
occur, turn to a lower setting but do not
switch off. Immediately scrape off all
the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains
from the hob with a shielded razor
blade scraper, taking care not to burn
yourself. If these residues are allowed
to cool before the hob surface has
been cleaned, the ceramic surface will
be susceptible to pitting or even crack-
ing.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
nclosed hotplates
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill onto a stainless
steel hob or trim. Should this happen
wipe up any spillages containing salt
immediately, to avoid corrosion.
Do not use covers on the enclosed
hotplates.Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could dam-
age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a
damp hotplate could lead to damage
of the hotplate. Condensation trapped
under the cover could cause corrosion.
General notes
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-
nent damage to the surface and to
components, for which the manufac-
turer of the oven cannot accept any
responsibility.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem-
peratures. Additionally they could dam-
age a ceramic hob as they melt.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insula-
tion and be dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guaran-
tee.
Use of accessories
After using the scraper ensure the
blade is shielded before putting it
away.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any
future user.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with safety instructions.
