Warning: Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal

scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Warning: Ensure that the appliance is switched o󰀨 before

replacing the lamp to avoid the possibillity of electric shock. You should not use steam cleaning devices to clean the appliance. Danger of burns! Hot steam may escape when you open the oven door. Be careful when you open the oven door during or after cooking. Do NOT lean over the door when you open it. Please note that depending on the temperature the steam can be invisible.84 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ● Always keep children away from the cooker. While in operation direct contact with the cooker may cause burns! ● Ensure that small items of household equipment, including connection leads, do not touch the hot oven or the hob as the insulation material of this equipment is usually not resistant to high temperatures. ● Do not leave the cooker unattended when frying. Oils and fats may catch re due to overheating or boiling over. ● Do not allow the hob to get soiled and prevent liquids from boiling over onto the surface of the hob. This refers in particular to sugar which can react with the ceramic hob and cause irreversible damage. Any spillages should be cleaned up as they happen. ● Do not place pans with a wet bottom on the warmed up heating zones as this can cause irreversible changes to the hob (irremovable stains). ● Use pans that are specied by the manufacturer as designed for use with a ceramic hob. ● If any defects, deep scratches, cracks or chips appear on the ceramic hob, stop using the cooker immediately and contact the service centre. ● Do not switch on the hob until a pan has been placed on it. ● Do not use pans with sharp edges that may cause damage to the ceramic hob. ● Do not look directly at the halogen heating zones (not covered by a pan) when they are warming up. ● Do not put pans weighing over 15 kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25 kg on the hob. ● Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking. ● Do not use the cooker in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be xed by an appropriately qualied and authorised person. ● In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power and report the fault to the service centre to be repaired. ● Unless properly supervised by caretakers or upon thorough studies of the operating manual, the appliance must not be operated by persons (including children) of limited physical or psychical abilities, these of limited technical expertise, or unfamiliar with the equipment. ● Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control panel. The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heating) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.85 Using energy in a respon- sible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let’s save energy! And this is how you can do it: ●Use proper pans for cooking. Pans with thick, at bases can save up to 1/3 on electric energy. Remember to cover pans if possible otherwise you will use four times as much energy! ●Match the size of the saucepan to the surface of the heating zone. A saucepan should never be smaller than a heating zone. ●Ensure heating zones and pan bases are clean. Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repea- tedly burnt–on spillages can often only be removed by products which cause damage to the environment. ●Do not uncover the pan too often (a wat- ched pot never boils!). Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often. Switch o󰀨 the oven in good time and make use of residual heat. For long cooking times, switch o󰀨 heating zo- nes 5 to 10 minutes before nishing cooking. This saves up to 20% on energy. Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes. Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker hob.

●Make use of residual heat from the oven. If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes switch o󰀨 the oven 10 minutes before the end time. Important! When using the timer, set appropriately shorter cooking times according to the dish being prepared. ●Only grill with the ultrafan after closing the oven door. ●Make sure the oven door is properly closed. Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately. ●Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.86 During transportation, pro- tective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage.

When installing the cooker, easy access to all control elements should be ensured. This is a Y–type design built–in cooker, which means that its back wall and one side wall can be placed next to a high piece of furniture or a wall. ● Worktop thickness should be 28 - 40 mm, while its width at least 600 mm. The worktop must be at and level. Edge of the worktop near the wall must be sealed to prevent ingress of water or other liquids. ● There should be su󰀩cient spacing around the opening, in particular, at least 50 mm distance to the wall and 60 mm distance to the front edge of worktop. ● Worktop must be made of materials, including veneer and adhesives, resistant to a tem- perature of 100°C. Otherwise, veneer could come o󰀨 or surface of the worktop become deformed. ● Edge of the opening should be sealed with suitable materials to prevent ingress of water. ● Worktop opening must cut to dimensions as shown on gure

INSTALLATION Assembly of the gasket Depending on the model, the seal is already installed at the factory (g.1) If the seal has not been tted at the factory, proceed as follows: Before installing the hob in the cut-out worktop, the gasket is to be attached to the back of the hob (pic. 2) To do this, rst peel o󰀨 the protective lm from the self-adhesive seal and glue the gasket as close as possible to the outer edge of the hob (g. 3,4).

Do not install the appliance without the foam gasket. Then turn the hob over insert it into the cut-out of the furniture. Align the positioning symmetrically so that the distances between the hob and the countertop is the same on all sides. (g. 5)

INSTALLATION Installing the hob in worktop opening* ● Use four “A” brackets for 38 mm thick worktops. Fit the hob into worktop opening as shown on gure 2 and 3. To properly secure hob in 28 mm thick worktop, use four 15x15x50 mm wooden blocks in addition to “A” brackets. Fit the hob into worktop opening as shown on gure 4 and 5. ● Check if adhesive seal is properly applied to the hob's ange. ● Loosely attach xing brackets to the bottom of the hob ● Remove dust from the worktop, insert hob into the opening and press in rmly, ● Position xing brackets perpendicularly to the hob's edge and tighten rmly.

L396 OPERATION Important! To clean the oven, only use a cloth well rang out with warm water to which a little washing-up liquid has been added. The electronic prgrammer Ts is equip- ped with electronic sensors which are switched on by touching or pressing the sensor surface for at least one second. Each sensor reaction is conrmed by the beep.Keep the sensor surface clean at all times. Important! In ovens equipped with the electronic programmer Ts, the time “0.00” will start ashing in the display eld upon connection to the power supply. The programmer should be set with the current time. (See Electronic programmer ). If the current time is not set operation of the oven is impossible. The oven is equipped with a retractable knobs. In order to select a function do the following:

1. Gently press and release a knob which

the desired function. Symbols printed around the knob indicate available oven functions.

Before using the oven for the rst time Remove packaging, clean the interior of the oven and the hob. Take out and wash the oven ttings with warm water and a little washing–up liquid. Switch on the ventillation in the room or open a window. Heat the oven (to a temperature of 250°C, for approx. 30 min.), remove any stains and wash carefully; the heating zones of the hob should be heated for around 4 min. without a pan.97 WRONGWRONGWRONGWRONGRIGHT OPERATION Controlling the heating zones of the ceramic hob. Choice of cookware Choose a pan with a diameter that is at least as large as the heating zone. For roasting tins there is a special widened heating zone of 140x250. Do not use pans with a concave or convex base. Always remember to put a proper cover on the pan. We recommend the use of pans with thick, even bases. If the heating zones and pans are solied it is impossible to make full use of the heat. Heat level selection The heating zones have di󰀨erent levels of heat. The level of heat can be adjusted gradually by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left. Examples of knob settings 0 Switch o󰀨 MIN. Warming up 1 Stewing vegetables, slow cooking ● Cooking soups, larger dishes 2 Slow frying ● Grilling meat, sh 3 MAX. Fast heating up, fast cooking, frying

OPERATION Zone heating indicator If the temperature of a heating zone exceeds 50°C this is signalled by an indicator which lights up for that zone. When the heating indicator lights up it warns the person using the cooker against touching a hot heating zone. For about 5 to 10 minutes after a heating zone is switched o󰀨 it will still have residual heat that can be used, for example to warm up or keep dishes warm without switching on another heating zone. Switching on the wider heating zone Important! Only switch on a heating zone by turning the knob clockwise. Turning the knob in the opposite direction can cause damage to the switch. With the settings 0 1 2 3 the knob operates the internal heating zone and it is possible to smoothly control the amount of heat transferred to a pan. Turning the knob temporarily to the position marked causes the external heating zone to be switched on. From that point, you can smoothly control the amount of heat trasferred to a pan by both heating zones (internal and external) as the internal switch will switch both zones o󰀨 only after the knob is set to position 0.

For grilling with the function grill and combined grill the temperature must be set to 250ºC, but for the function fan and grill it must be set to a maximum of 190ºC. Warning! When using function grill it is recom- mended that the oven door is closed. When the grill is in use accessible parts can become hot. It is best to keep children away from the oven.106

BAKING IN THE OVEN – PRACTICAL HINTS

Baking ● we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker; ● it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time; ● shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in undercooking the base of cakes; ● when using the ultra-fan function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber before the cake is inserted; ● before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake); ● after switching o󰀨 the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.; ● temperatures for baking with the ultra-fan function are usually around 20 – 30 degrees lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters); ● the baking parameters given in Table are approximate and can be corrected based on your own experience and cooking preferences; ● if information given in recipe books is signicantly di󰀨erent from the values included in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual. Roasting meat ● cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on the gas burners. ● use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures; ● when roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven; ● it is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water – do not pour cold water over the meat.107

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

By ensuring proper cleaning and mainte- nance of your cooker you can have a signi- cant inuence on the continuing fault-free operation of your appliance. Before you start cleaning, the cooker must be switched o󰀨 and you should ensure that all knobs are set to the “off” position. Do not start cleaning until the cooker has completely cooled. Scraper for cleaning the hob Ceramic hob ● The hob should be cleaned regularly after each use. If possible, it is recommended that the hob is washed while still warm (after the heating zone indicator goes o󰀨). Do not allow the hob to get heavily stai- ned; particualrly from burnt–on spillages from boiled over liquids. ● When cleaning do not use cleaning agents with a strong abbrasive e󰀨ect, such as e.g. scouring powders contai- ning an abrasive, abrasive compounds, abrasive stones, pumice stones, wire brushes and so on. They may scratch the hob surface, causing irreversible damage. ● Large spillages that are rmly stuck to the hob can be removed by a special scraper; but be careful not to damage the ceramic hob frame when doing this.
