Things to watch for

The appliance may only be connected by an authorised service technician.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
The furniture that is in contact with the appliance must be heat resistant (T 90 °C).
During repair and cleaning the appliance needs to be disconnected from the power supply (electricity and gas). Remove the plug from the wall socket or turn the switch in the metre cupboard to zero. Turn off the gas tap in the feeder pipe.
- Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is designed, i.e. the preparation of food. Use for any other purpose should be considered to be improper and dangerous. We accept no responsibility whatsoever for damage caused by incorrect, improper or irrational use of the appliance.

• When boiling and frying the hob gets hot. Please pay close attention to small children.
  ■ Grease and oil are flammable when overheated. Stay near the appliance when preparing dishes.
• Never cover the base of the oven with aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on the base of the oven. The foil will block the heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking result will therefore not be satisfactory.
• Do not use the appliance to heat the kitchen. This will produce a damp atmosphere.
  When a gas cooking appliance is being used heat and moisture is produced in the area where the appliance is situated. Make sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated: open natural ventilation openings or fit a mechanical ventilator (extractor). When the hob is used for longer periods extra ventilation may be needed, such as an open window or a higher setting on the ventilator (extractor).
• When the cable is damaged it may only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service organization or equally qualified persons, to avoid dangerous situations.

The glass oven door can heat up when using the oven at maximum temperature for a long time (e.g. during grilling). Act with care if children are nearby.
- Cords to electrical appliances - e.g. a mixer - can get caught between the door of the convector oven or may accidentally touch the cooking zones.
- Easy accessible parts of the hob can get hot. Please pay close attention to small children.
- Do not use the unit as a toy.
The inside of the storage compartment becomes hot when the oven is used. Do not use the storage compartment for flammable materials or materials that may become distorted by heat.
- Do not place any flammable materials in the oven.
- Never pour water directly in the hot oven, as it can damage the enamel.
- Never sit or stand on the open oven door.
- Do not clean the oven with a high pressure hose. This could cause a short circuit in the electric wiring.
■ Always cool the oven with a closed oven door.

■ Any spillage should be removed immediately, particularly red cabbage, apple sauce and rhubarb. These can leave permanent spots on the enamel or on stainless steel.
■ Always raise the decorative cover when using the burners on the hob or the oven. Do not use the decorative cover as a surface for cooking on.
■ Caution: glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all burners before shutting the lid.

Before using your appliance

Gashob

Burning in of the enamel

The burners cause the saucepan supports to get extremely hot. In time the enamel on the support points can burn in. This cannot be prevented and is not covered by the guarantee.

Burner caps

- Check regularly whether the caps of the burners are properly in position on the burner depressions. Improper positioning can make it difficult to light the burners, give rise to an irregular gas flame, or damage the burner caps.

Oven

Prepare for use

When the oven is heated to a high temperature for the first time, you will smell a “new appliance” odour. This is to be expected.

■ Remove the sticker from the glass panel in the oven door.
■ Remove the protective foil from stainless steel doors.
■ Remove all accessories from the oven and clean them thoroughly using a dish-washing detergent.

Switch on the closed, empty oven at the maximum temperature for about thirty minutes, after which the grilling element should be switched on for a period of fifteen minutes. Let the oven cool off and clean it with warm water.

Remove from the oven everything which you are not using to prepare the dish. Slide the dish into the oven if it is not necessary to pre-warm the oven.

Thawing

You can thaw food using the hot air fan. Remove the wrapping and put the frozen food in a dish. Put the dish on ridge 1. Set the function knob of the hot air oven to ⏻ (the fan will now blow cold air).

Conventional

The dish is heated by the radiation heat of the upper and lower elements. Always place the dish in the centre of the oven. See the temperature table on p. 18 to determine the height of the ridge. This setting is ideal for the traditional way of preparing dishes. Dishes rise well and brown nicely.

Hot air

The air in the oven is heated by the hot air element. The fan in the back of the oven blows hot air into the oven. This is used to heat the dishes.

Grill

The dishes are heated by the radiation heat of the combined grillelement. Flat pieces of meat, chicken or other poultry may be grilled directly on the grid shelf. This grill setting is also suitable for toasting bread.

Bottom heat

Only the heating element at the bottom of the oven radiates heat. This method is especially useful for baking low pastries and for preserving fruit and vegetables. Use the lowest oven shelf support and not-too-high baking tins, so that the warm air can also circulate over the top of the dish.

Upper heat

Only the uppermost heating element comes on with this heating method. This method is suitable for cooking meat and pastries, except for pastries with a fruit filling. Information on pre-heating, the level choice and the baking/cooking time are given in the conventional heating method table on p. 17.

Ventilation + grill

Turn the oven function knob on setting 📁 for grilling with ventilation. The ventilator ensures you that the heat is distributed evenly.

Fan + bottom heat

In this setting, the dish is heated by the lower heating element together with the fan.

This is the ideal setting for rapidly heating cold dishes.

Double grill (grill + upper heat)

The double grill setting is used for speed grilling. This setting provides a larger grill area than the conventional grill setting.

Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Then place the dish on the upper ridge. Place the oven tray onto the third shelf for collecting oils that may drip from the food.

Double grill + fan

(grill + upper heat + fan)

The double grill together with the fan provides the ideal setting for roasting and ensures optimal crispness of your dish.

Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Then place the dish on the upper ridge. Place the oven tray onto the third shelf for collecting oils that may drip from the food.

Baking-, roasting- and grilling tips

Oven levels

Depending on the height of the pastry or cookies, place the baking sheet on the second or third level from the bottom. Tins should be placed on a rack on the first or second level from the bottom.

Tins are important

In particular in ovens with upper and lower heating elements, the material from which the tin is made is extremely important. The best tins are made from black tin or are lined with a special synthetic material: these tins absorb the heat the quickest and can shorten the baking time.

How to test whether or not a cake is cooked

Prick a skewer into the cake at its thickest point about 10 minutes before the end of the given baking time. If the skewer remains dry and no cake mixture sticks to it you can turn off the oven and use the residual heat to let the cake cook thoroughly.

The cake has not risen properly

Use less liquid next time or set the oven to a temperature 10 °C lower. You should adhere exactly to the mixing times given in your cookery book.

The cake has sunk in the middle

The cake has risen beautifully at the edges but sunk in the middle. Do not grease the sides of the cake tin. Loosen the cake carefully with a knife after baking.

The cake is too dark on the top

Put the cake on a lower ridge in the oven, set a lower temperature, bake the cake for a little longer and, perhaps, use black baking tins.

The cake is too dark on the bottom

Put the cake on a higher ridge in the oven and set a lower temperature.

The soufflé is much too dark on top

Remove the crust. Grill the top for a moment to give a golden brown crust to the soufflé. Do not use Parmesan cheese: this type of cheese browns too quickly and will taste bitter. Next time put the dish a little lower in the oven and set the temperature 10 °C lower.

The biscuits stick to the baking sheet

Slide the baking sheet back into the oven for a moment and then remove the biscuits immediately.

The cake will not turn out of the tin.

Carefully loosen the edge with a sharp knife. Turn the tin upside down again and cover with a cold, damp cloth a couple of times. Next time grease and flour the tin well.

Oven levels

When grilling smaller quantities, place the roasting tin at the top of the oven (ridge 4). Dishes which require a longer cooking time should be placed lower in the oven (ridge 3). This also applies when grilling dishes with larger surface areas.
