Important safety instructions

• Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord and any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
• The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
• Do not operate the appliance if excessive

force has been used to pull the power cord. Damage cannot always be detected from the outside; the entire unit should therefore be checked by a qualified technician before it is used again.

• This appliance operates at very high temperatures.

Warning: the door as well as the accessible surfaces of the appliance become hot during operation. Burns can occur from touching the hot parts!

• Do not touch the heating elements or hot-plates.
• Always ensure that the crumb tray is properly fitted under the heating elements when using the appliance.
• Overheated oil or fat may tend to ignite. Therefore do not overfill the baking tray.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system
• This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Caution: keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of danger e.g. from suffocation.
• Do not position or operate the appliance close to or underneath any wall-cupboards or hanging objects such as curtains or any inflammable materials, and do not position any objects on top of the appliance.
• During operation, the appliance must be placed on a heat-resistant surface, impervious to splashes and stains. Do not position the appliance on or near hot

surfaces, open flames or inflammable vapours.

• Do not allow the power cord to touch any hot parts of the appliance.

• Do not let the power cord hang free.
  Always switch off and remove the plug from the wall socket

• after use,

• in cases of malfunction, and

• during cleaning.

• When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

• Caution: Before changing the light bulb in the oven compartment, ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply. There is otherwise a risk of electric shock.
• No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.
• This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.
• In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The address can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Temperature control

With the temperature control knob, the temperature can be set to the desired level.

5-position switch settings

• (large dot symbol) - Hot-plates can be activated
• (small dot symbol) Small hot-plate can be activated

Upper heating element switched on, small hot-plate can be activated
Lower heating element switched on, small hot-plate can be activated

Both upper and lower heating elements switched on, small hot-plate can be activated

Before using for the first time

• Clean the appliance (see General care and cleaning) and remove any packing materials completely.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, let the interior heat up for 10 minutes with both heating elements on. A slight smell may be emitted; this is normal and will only last for a very short time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Before using the hot-plates for the first time, let them heat up for approximately 3 minutes at maximum power, while ensuring sufficient ventilation. This will help to 'burn in' the protective coating which safeguards the hot-plates against corrosion. During this process, a slight smell and a little smoke may be emitted. This is normal and will only last for a very short time.

Using the oven compartment

• Pre-heat the oven compartment for several minutes with the door closed, using both heating elements. Set the temperature control knob to the required level.
• With one or both heating elements switched on, the compartment is illuminated by the interior lamp.
• Place the food to be cooked on the baking rack. When cooking food containing fat or moisture, use the baking tray to stop any dripping into the interior of the appliance.
• Close the door and set the temperature control knob to the required level.
• For overhead baking or grilling, either the upper or the upper and lower elements may be selected.
• The switch settings (upper heat/ lower heat) may be changed during the cooking process.
• To interrupt the cooking process

temporarily, set the 5-position switch to the position (small dot symbol).

• Always use the door handle to open the hot door after use. When removing the baking tray, use the tray handle provided. To remove the baking rack, an oven cloth must be used. Always place the baking tray on a heat-resistant surface.
• After use, set the 5-position switch to the '●' position (small dot symbol) and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Using the hot-plates

• Always place a pot / saucepan on the hot-plate and set the 5-position switch to the '●' position (large dot symbol) before switching on.
• With one or both hot-plates switched on, the indicator lamp is lit.
• Ensure that the pot is clean and dry on the outside. Do not use stain covered or soot pots / saucepans.
• To prevent damage to the hot-plate, only use pots / saucepans with flat bottoms. Most suitable are pots specifically designed for use on electric plates (see picture I).
• Always make sure that the pot / saucepan used is of at least the same diameter as the plate; this minimises the loss of heat and prevents the plate from being damaged as a result of uneven heat distribution.
• After use, set the 5-position switch to the '●' position (small dot symbol) and remove the plug from the wall socket.

General care and cleaning

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has completely cooled down.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.

• Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning solutions or spray-type oven cleaners.
• The exterior housing and the door may be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• To clean the stainless steel areas, only a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent intended for such sensitive surfaces may be used.
• Do not clean the stainless-steel surfaces using rough or hard sponges, or those that still contain residue from abrasive cleaning agents.
• The baking tray, rack and crumb tray may be cleaned using hot water and a mild detergent, or in a dish-washer.
• After use, a wet cloth may be used to remove any spills from the plates.
• Following a longer period of use, a special commercially available cleaning agent should be used to treat the plates.

Changing the bulb inside the oven compartment

The bulb is located at the rear of the right-hand side panel behind a glass plate.

• Loosen the upper screw on the glass plate.
• Remove the glass plate.
• Remove the bulb from its socket by turning it anti-clockwise.
• Replace it with a new 15W bulb (socket-type E14).
• Fit the new bulb into the socket by turning it clockwise.
• Replace the glass plate and secure it with the screw.
