Children are naturally curious and intereste d in most
things, including the cooker. From a safe ty point of view,
we would like to emphasis the following for those with
children at hom e:
There should be worktops on both sides of the cooker
extending at least 4 cm to left and to right. Alternatively
the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen
unit on one side and a worktop on the othe r side . The
NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted to prevent the cooker
from tipping forwards if subjected to an abno rmal load-
ing.
The
HOB GUARD (included or optional) should be fit-
ted and the
DOOR CATCH/DOOR CATCHES should be acti-
vated.
Do not let children use the razor blade scraper.
Children should be allow ed to help with c ooking, but
teach them that pans, hotplates and ovens becom e hot and
retain their heat for som e tim e after use.
TOUCHING THESE
CAN CAUSE BURNS .
fåëí~ää~íáçå
Work on the cooker must be carried out by a qualif ied
electrician. Work performed by unqualified persons can
damage the cooker, and may also le ad to personal injury
and/or damage to property.
The cooker is heavy. Certain edges and corners w hich
will not normally be exposed may be sharp. Use gloves
when moving the cooker.
The
NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading.
tÜÉå=ìëáåÖ=íÜÉ=ÅççâÉê
Never use the ceramic hob if it is cracked, as water from
spillages and/or cleaning could penetrate dow n to live
conductors. If the hob is damaged, disconnect the c ooker
from the electrical supply and c ontac t your service c entre
to have the cooker repaired.
Never place alum inium foil, plastics etc. on th e
ceramic hob. If a hotplate is switched on by mistake,
these materials will rapid ly start to burn or melt.
Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying,
or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other
flammable substances. In the event of a fire , turn off all
the controls and turn off the c ooker hood fan.
SMOTHER
THE FIRE WITH APAN LID , never use water.
Use only pans which are intended for ceram ic hobs.
Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven.
Check the bases of your pans. Pans with convex bases are
poor conductors of heat, and also tend to spin easily on
the flat ceramic hob.
Check that the cooker is switc hed off when not in use.
All controls should be turned off.
Warning! Alcohol and other liquids that can
form explosive gases, or other substances that
could cause a fire or explosion, must not be
used in the oven.
Great care must be taken when using such liquids and
substances on the hob. For e xample , when preparing food
on the hob with flaming brandy, or any other type of alco-
hol, there is always a risk that fat particles in the hob fan
may catch fire with serious consequenc es. Flames and
burning fat spills can also cause personal injury.
`äÉ~åáåÖ
Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean . Fat an d spillag es
give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at worst,
can cause fires.
Use the scraper to remove im m ediately (while the hob
is still warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and
melted plastics and foil. The se can damage the hob if left.
Be careful as the razor blade is extremely sharp.
j~áåíÉå~åÅÉ=~åÇ=ëÉêîáÅÉ
Turn all controls off before changing any bulbs.
Service and repairs should be carried out by a se rvic e
company approved by the supplier. Use only spare parts
supplied by such companies.

Help prevent accidents when the cooker has reached the
end of its useful life. Make sure first that the lead is com-
pletely disconnected from the electrical supply (pull out
the plug, or have the cooker safely disc onnected from the
wall), then cut the electric al lead at the point where it
enters the cooker. Make sure that the door catch/door
catches have been deactivated.

There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides
of the cooker
(SEE PICTURE) . A lternatively the cooker can be
installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and
a worktop on the other.
Child safety is further improved if the following
equipment is fitted/in use
kçåJíáé=ÇÉîáÅÉ
The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker f rom tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading. The non-tip device can only provide pro-
tection when the cooker is pushed into its norm al
position.
Before fitting the non-tip device, make sure the cooker has
been levelled and adjusted to the correct plinth height (see
“Installation” on p. 19).
1 Draw a line on the wall – after levelling the
cooker – along the top edge of the hob (see illus-
tration).
2 The measurements shown can be applied
whether the non-tip de vice is fitted on the left or
the right (se e illustration). Measure and mark
where the non-tip device is to be placed, then
screw it onto a solid material or a suitable rein-
forcement or fixings.
NOTE ! If the space between kitchen units is wider than
the cooker, you will need to alter the measurements
shown in the illustration if the cooker is to be centred.
3 If you alter the measurements, remember to
align the cooker correctly when pushing it into
place, so that the non-tip device enters the hole
on the cooker rear.

The hob guard should be fitted to make it harder
for children to reach pans on the hob.
1 Press the plugs into the front holes.
2 Place the guard on the cooker w ith the plugs over the
edge of the hob.
3 Angle the guard downwards and then back upwards
so the edges on its two sides engage under the edge
of the hob.
4 Lock it in place with the rear plugs.

Children should be supervised!
The cooker will get very hot.
Before you use the oven for the first time, you need to
heat it empty. Follow these instructions
1 Select (top/bottom heat) and maximum tem-
perature. The oven door should be shut.
2 Ventilate the room. Switch off the oven once the
“new” smell and fumes have ceased.
3 Use hot water and washing-up liquid to w ipe the
oven, side racks and the inside of the door. Then

The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even
with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas
may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending
partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also
occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to
prevent overheating.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate
light will remain on, even afte r the hotplate control has
been switched off, until the hotplate temperature falls
below about 55°C.
The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid
temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact. A
pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never
stand or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a stor-
age space.

NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED .
Water from spillages could seep through to the
live conductors. isconnect the cooker and con-
tact y our service centre to have the cooker
repaired. Use the scraper to remove immediately
(while the hob is still warm) spilt sugar or sy rups
(e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can
damage the hob if left. Never leave the cooker
unattended while deep f at frying, m elting fats,
paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In
the event of a f ire, turn off all the controls and the
cooker hood fan.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH APAN
LID , never use water.
The heating zone controls are graduate d from 0 to 12
(12 is the hottest). They can be turned both clockw ise
and anticlockwise.
TO USE THE HOB:
1 Turn the control for the heating zone you are
going to use.
2 Reset the control after use.
Which heat setting should you use? You will soon
learn which setting and heating zone to choose
depending on your pans and what you are cooking.

You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched
to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower
heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can he lp
you to choose the correct setting
GENTLE HEAT Si mm e r in g w i th tiny bubble s as in car bon a te d
water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as
sugar pe as and broccoli.
MEDIUM HEAT Gently boiling with larger bubble s.
Suitable for boiling most foods, suc h as meat,
root vegetables and potatoes.
HOT The sound disappears before the water starts
bubbling vigorously. Suitable for boiling water for
pasta and rice. Then turn the heat down for more
gentle cooking.

It is best when frying not to use food that has come
straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the
bottom of the pan should be covered by food.
Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and
turn on to the recommended heat. In order to get the
best results, it is important that the fat is the right
colour (temperature) when you start frying. Hold a
light-coloured spatula to the bottom of the pan to see
the colour of the fat.
LIGHTLY BROWNED FAT Suitable for eggs, onions, raw
potatoes, chops and steaks and whole fish, etc.
BROWNED FAT Suitable for fry ing most foods such as
pancakes, minced meats, sausages, thin fish fillets and
stewing steak.
WELL BROWNED FAT Su i table for thin stea k s. Be c ar e fu l
as the fat can easily become burnt.

Greater attention needs to be paid to the type and con-
dition of pans used on ceramic hobs than it does with
radiant hobs. Here are some points to remember
• Check the pan base s. Bases which are c onvex (curve
outwards) will tend to spin on the hob and will not
conduct heat very well.
• Aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but it
can leave silver-coloured stains on the hob. You
can remove these stains with the hob cleaner
supplied with the cooker.
• Glass vessels and enamelled bases with a rough
pattern will – if pulled back and forth across the
surface – cause greater wear on the hob than
other materials.
To save you time and therefore energy, the contact
surface of the pan base should
• be at least as large as the hotplate. If the base is
smaller than the hotplate, any spillages are quite
likely to burn onto the hob.
• be smooth or have a fine pattern
• be flat. It takes longer to heat a pan with a base
which curves in or outw ards too much.
When you are buying new pans, it is advisable to
choose stainless steel ones with sandw ich-type bases
(i.e. layers of different metals).
p~îÉ=ÉåÉêÖó>
• Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy
used by half (compared to cooking without lids).
• Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy
(compared to uneven based pans).
• Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and
moisture reduce heat transfer betwee n pans and
hotplates.
• Turn the hotplate s off and finish cooking using
the remaining heat.
• Save energy by ste aming and pressure-cooking.
