Improper installation may cause serious personal injuries and/or property damage. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for such injuries or damages.33
1. Provide an installation opening relevant to the dimensions on the drawing.
Ensure that there is free space of at least 50 mm around the installation opening. The thickness of the installation surface has to be at least 30 mm. Only use heat-resistant material to avoid deformation due to the heat emitted by the hotplates.

be blocked or covered. Always keep the appliance in proper condition. The top closing edge of the cabinet (C) must not be flush with the installation opening (1). Install the closing edge in offset positioning (2) or bevel the closing edge (3).
WARNING! Min. safety distance between hob and a cupboard above = 76 cm.35

brackets relevant to the size of the installation surface. Standard brackets for installation:
NOTICE! Always use the supplied standard brackets for installation if possible. Alternative brackets for installation:
NOTICE! Only use the supplied alternative brackets if the dimensions of the worktop do not allow the use of the standard brackets.
Depending on model, you must connect the cable bundle of the hob to the control panel of the oven before finally fixing the oven. Insert the oven into its installation opening. You can install the oven below a worktop or in a suitable piece of furniture. Fix the oven via the two fixing holes in the frame. To locate the fixing holes, open the oven door and look inside. You must meet the dimensions on the installation drawing (chapter 9) for proper ventilation. Free space of at least 45 mm on the back of the oven is required.
2.4 Electrical connection
DANGER! The appliance must be connected to the mains by a qualified professional, who is familiar with and adheres to the local requirements and supplementary regulations of your electricity supplier. All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified professional. Do not modify the energy supply. The connection must be carried out in accordance with the current local and legal regulations
Instructions for the installer (qualified professional) Remember that the connection wire should match the connection type and the power rating of the cooker. The connection cable must be secured in a strain- relief clamp. The ground wire must be connected to the marked clamp of the terminal. The electric supply of the appliance must be equipped with an emergency switch with a distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm which disconnects the entire appliance from the mains in a case of emergency. Read the information on the rating label and the connection diagram before connecting the appliance to the mains.37 When the socket is not accessible for the user or a fixed electrical connection of the appliance is required, an all-pole disconnecting device must be incorporated during installation. Disconnecting devices are switches with a contact opening distance of at least 3 mm. These include LS-switches, fuses and protectors (EN 30335).

Location of the cooking zone.
Lowest setting (e.g. to keep meals warm etc.).
Highest setting (quick heating, quick cooking, roasting etc.)
Set the control back to OFF immediately after cooking.
Use cookware with a flat base only.
The base of the cookware should meet the diameter of the cooking zone. Centre the cookware on the cooking zone.
Do not push the cookware while cooking. Lift the cookware if you want to move it; otherwise you can damage the cooking zone.
The operation of the oven is controlled by the oven function knob .To set a function you should turn the knob to the desired position.
To select a temperature, use the temperature regulator knob to set the desired temperature. You can set the temperature within a range of 50-250℃. The oven can be switched off by setting both of these knobs to position .42 CAUTION! Turn the temperature control knob in clockwise direction only. After you have set a temperature, you can turn the knob back to its home position. Otherwise you may damage the temperature control knob.
Functions of the oven
interior light switches separately on the interior light of the oven, e.g. for cleaning the oven inside.
top heat on switches on the top heater of the oven, e.g. for final backing from above.
bottom heat on switches on the bottom heater of the oven, e.g. for final backing from the bottom.
top heat and bottom heat on allows the oven to be heated conventionally.
We recommend to use the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance. It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else. 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).The use of such tins can result in under-cooking the base of cakes. Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden stick (when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after having been inserted in the cake). When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes. Cook meat with a weight of more than 1 kg in the oven. Cook smaller pieces of food on the hob. Use oven-proof cookware only. Check that their handles also are oven-proof. When you cook meat on a grillage, insert a drip tray with a small amount of water in the oven (minimum rack height). Turn over meat at least once. Never pour cold water on the meat.43
4.6 How to save energy
Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover your cookware if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much energy! Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate. Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean. Soils prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products, which will damage the environment, only. Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!). Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often. Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat. For long cooking times, switch off the heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before you will finish cooking. This saves up to 20% of energy. Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes. Meat of up to 1kg can be cooked more economically in a pan on the hob. Make use of the residual heat of the oven. lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before. Make sure the oven door is closed properly. Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately. Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.44
5. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING! Switch off the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning. Disconnect the appliance from the mains before maintenance.
Hob Clean the hob after use. Clean the glass-ceramic with a commercially available detergent for glass- ceramic. Use a special sponge and warm water. Remove residuals on the glass-ceramic with a soft cloth. Do not scrub the glass-ceramic. Remove residuals with a silicon-made scraper, which is suitable for glass- ceramic. Such scrapers are commercial available. Detergent Do not use any abrasive detergents! Do not use any organic detergents!
Do not use essential oils! Never use solvents. Oven Clean the oven after use. Switch on the internal light while cleaning. Clean the interior with warm water and a little bit of washing-liquid.
