Using the oven

• Remove all accessories from inside the oven and clean them with warm soapy water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning materials.
• Set the oven at its highest setting for one hour with top and bottom heat (see page 14). This will remove any protective grease used during manufacture.
• When you heat the oven for the first time you will notice a ‘new-oven smell’. Don’t worry, this is normal. If necessary, switch on the cooker hood.
  • After letting it cool down, clean the oven with hot water.
• Only preheat the oven if the recipe requires this.

Cooking tips

Energy-conscious use of the oven

• Open the oven door as little as possible.
• Prepare dishes with the same cooking temperature simultaneously (e.g., an apple pie and an oven dish) on the same grid, or above each other using hot air. You can also let meat stew at the same time.
• Prepare more meals after each other, for example an oven meal after a cake. Often, the preparation time of the second dish will be 10 minutes shorter because the oven is still hot.
• Because the oven is insulated, the residual heat from the oven will continue to cook dishes with longer cooking times (from 1 hour). Turn the oven off 10 minutes earlier than indicated, but leave the door closed.
• Pre-heating is generally not necessary, with the exception of dishes with cooking times of less than 30 minutes, or when indicated by a recipe.
• Remove everything you don't need for the dish from the oven.
• Turn the oven off before taking out the cooked dish.

Ovenware

• In principle, you can use any type of heat-resistant ovenware.
• Do not rinse glass ovenware with cold water immediately after use. The sudden temperature difference can cause the glass to crack.
• Use black or dark baking tins. These conduct heat better and allow the food to cook more evenly.

Do not cover the oven floor

• Covering the oven bottom with, for example, aluminium foil or a baking tray can lead to overheating and damage to the enamel.
• It is possible to prevent spring forms from leaking onto the oven floor by folding a container out of aluminium foil and placing it on the grid under the form or by laying baking paper under it.

Time setting

- Choose a 5 minute shorter cooking time than indicated in the recipe. This will allow you to check whether your food or cake is cooked through and golden brown at the last moment. If not, close the oven door and check again after some time. Opening and closing the door should be done slowly. Preferably not before three-quarters of the cooking time has elapsed.

Keep food warm

- You can use the oven to keep already-prepared dishes warm. To do so, select the hot air setting and a temperature of 75^ C. Cover dishes you want to keep warm to prevent them from drying out.

Roasting meat

• Large pieces of meat, from 1 kg, are the most suitable. The meat will get a regularly shaped, crispy crust, with virtually no weight loss.
• Rub the meat with salt and spices fifteen minutes beforehand. Use 80 to 100 g of butter or fat (or a mixture of the two) per 500 g of meat for roasting.

Cooking times

- Flat, thin pieces require approximately 5 minutes less cooking time than thick or rolled pieces of meat. When cooking larger pieces of meat, cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer per 500 grams extra.

4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1

• Put the meat in a roasting pan and douse in hot butter or fat. Place the meat in the roasting pan with the fatty side facing up. Make sure to baste meat without a fatty side every 15 minutes. Meat with a fatty side should be basted every 30 minutes.
• If the gravy is too dark, add a few spoonfuls of water now and then during roasting.
• Cover the meat loosely with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Oven runners

The oven walls are fitted with runners so that the oven grid or baking sheet can be placed at different levels. For the correct level, consult a baking guide or food packaging instructions.

Using the gas hob

• Regularly check that the burner caps and burner rings are correctly positioned on the burner bases. Incorrect positioning can result in poor ignition, poor combustion or damage to the caps.
• Over time, the enamel on the support point can become burnt-in because the pan support is heated very strongly by the burner. This is unavoidable and is therefore not covered by the guarantee.

Oven functions

	Oven lightThe oven light switches on and remains on for all other oven functions.
	DefrostingThe fan will start running. The air circulates in the oven without activating the heating element.This method is used for slowly defrosting food.
	Top and bottom heat (conventional)The heating elements at the top and bottom of the oven give off simultaneous heat. There is only one setting for baking pastries or roasting meat.
	Top and bottom heat (conventional) + fanThe heating elements at the top and bottom of the oven radiate even heat. The fan distributes this heat evenly. This function is especially suitable for fast-roasting meat and baking cakes on multiple levels.
	Bottom heat with fanThis oven function activates the fan and the bottom heating element simultaneously.This method is particularly useful for baking thin cakes.Use the bottom ledge and bakeware which is not too high to allow the air to circulate across the top of the dish.
	Hot air circulationThe fan at the rear of the oven ensures a continuous circulation of hot air around the meat or pastry. This function is especially suitable for roasting meat and baking cakes on multiple levels.
	GrillThe grill element and the oven element are activated simultaneously. The grill element radiates heat directly onto the dish. To optimise the heat effect, the top element is also activated. This method of heating is ideal for preparing small pieces of meat such as steaks, sausages and chops.
	Fan with grillYou can grill with the fan running. The radiant heat is distributed around the dish by the fan.

Operating the left oven with timer

You can switch off the oven at a set time using the timer:

- Turn the timer clockwise to the desired switch-off time (0-120 minutes).

An audible signal will sound and the oven will be switched off once the time has elapsed.

A symbol next to the control knob indicates which burner is being operated. Each burner is fully adjustable between high and low settings.

Spark ignition

Push in the control knob and turn it to the left.

The burner will ignite.

The control knob should be pushed in for about 10 seconds because of the flame safeguard.

Flame safeguard

Your gas hob has a flame failure device. This ensures that the gas supply is shut off if the flame goes out during cooking.

Tc Ac

If the burner fails to ignite or doesn't stay on, check that:

• the burner cap and burner ring are seated correctly in the burner housing;
• the burner/spark plug (Aa) and thermocouple (Tc) are clean and dry.

Optimal use of the hob

Wrong

Always ensure that the flames stay under the pan. A lot of energy is lost when flames burn around the outside of the pan. The handles will also become too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter smaller than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.

Right

- When frying, stir-frying, cooking through large quantities or deep-frying, it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.

- Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.

• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.

- Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.

Wok burner

With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature. For this purpose it is important:

• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking.
- to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on the other hand will burn because of the high heat.
- place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time.

Warning!

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out any repairs or cleaning. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch off the fuses, or set the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.

Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cleaning the oven

Front of the unit

Clean the surface with a liquid, non-abrasive cleaner for smooth surfaces and a soft cloth. Apply the cleaning product to the cloth and wipe away the dirt; then rinse with water. Do not apply the cleaning product directly onto the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents, sharp objects or steel wool, as this can cause scratches on the unit.

Aluminium surfaces

Aluminium surfaces should be cleaned with non-abrasive, liquid cleaning products designed for such materials. Apply the cleaning product to a damp cloth and wipe the surface clean; then rinse the surface with water. Do not apply the cleaning product directly onto the aluminium surface. Do not use abrasive detergents or scourers. The surface must not come into contact with oven sprays.

Stainless steel front panels

Clean the surface with a mild detergent (soapsuds) and a soft sponge that does not scratch the surface. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based detergents. If you do not follow these instructions the casing may become damaged.

Painted and plastic surfaces

Clean the knobs buttons and door handle with a soft cloth and liquid cleaning agent suitable for cleaning smooth, painted surfaces. You can also use cleaning agents specifically designed for this type of surface. In this case, follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

Enamelled parts

The inside of the oven door, the entire oven interior, and the baking tray and griddle plate are entirely enamelled. They can be cleaned best with warm soapy water.

Exterior

Clean the oven exterior with warm soapy water or liquid soap. Rinse with clean water.

Glass

Clean the glass panel with soapy water or Glassex.

Oven

• The oven can be cleaned in the traditional way (with cleaning agents or oven spray), but only when the oven is very dirty and the stains are very stubborn.
• The following procedure is recommended for regular cleaning (after each use):
  Set the oven to 'top and bottom heat' mode to clean the oven. Set the temperature knob at 50°C.
  Pour 0.6 litres of water into a baking tin and place it on the bottom ledge. After half an hour the food residues on the enamel of the oven will become soft and you can gently wipe them off with a damp cloth.

Right oven (small)

- Unscrew the glass cover (C) anti-clockwise and replace the oven lamp (L) (15W/230V \~ 50Hz - 300°C E14).

In the event of stubborn stains, the following should be observed:

The oven should be cooled down before cleaning.

• Clean the oven and the accessories after each use, to prevent the dirt from burning into the oven.
• The easiest way to remove grease is by using warm soapy water while the oven is still warm.
• For very stubborn dirt, use conventional oven cleaners. Make sure to rinse the oven thoroughly afterwards with clean water, to remove any residual cleaning agent.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as steel wool, scouring pads, stain removers etc.
• Varnished, stainless steel, and galvanised surfaces, and aluminium parts must never come into contact with oven sprays, because this will damage and discolour them.

The same applies to the thermostat sensor (if the device is equipped with a timer with a sensor), and to the heating elements that are accessible at the top.

- When purchasing and using cleaning agents, be sure to take account of the environment and heed the instructions of their manufacturer.

Practical tips

• It is recommended to wrap large pieces of fatty meat in aluminium foil or put them in a suitable roasting bag to prevent grease from splashing on the oven walls.
• Put a drip tray under the meat when grilling.

Accessories

Wash any accessories (baking trays, grids, etc.) with warm water and standard washing-up liquid.

Special enamel coating

The oven, the inside of the door and the baking trays have been treated with special enamel, which has a smooth and strong surface. This special coating makes cleaning at room temperature easier.

Cleaning the gas hob

Your gas hob has been manufactured from high-grade, easy-to-clean materials.

• Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents food spills from becoming ingrained and causing stubborn stains that are difficult to remove. Use a mild cleaning detergent to remove stains. Do not use too much moisture, as there is a risk that it will penetrate into the burner or vent holes.
• Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports first and then the drip tray. This avoids the drip tray becoming dirty again during cleaning.
• The ignition plugs should preferably be cleaned with a cloth. Do this carefully. Otherwise the spark plug can become defective. The spark plug will only operate correctly in a dry environment. If the plug is very dirty, you can clean it with a tiny brush.
• Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the drip tray.
• Assemble the burner parts using the guide notches. Pay attention to the notches for the ignition plug and thermocouple. Make sure the burner parts are lying flat.

Cleaning the pan supports

Do not clean the pan supports in the dishwasher. The enamel on the pan supports is suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher, but the connection with the rubber feet is not. The pan supports might also show some discolouration if washed in the dishwasher. If the rubber feet are lost, the pan support is likely to damage the drip tray.

Stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps and drip tray)

Stubborn stains can best be removed with a liquid cleaning agent. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.

Cleaning removable burner components

Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents can corrode burner parts! The removable burner components (including those of the wok) are best cleaned with a mild cleaning agent and a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, soak the burner components in hot soapy water. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.
