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 fire 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 specified 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 15kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25kg 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 fixed by an appropriately qualified 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 profile and may cause danger.

Using energy in a responsible 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, flat 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 plate.

A saucepan should never be smaller than a heating plate.

• Ensure heating plates and pan bases are clean.

Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often only be removed by products which cause damage to the environment.

• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).

Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.

Switch off the oven in good time and make use of residual heat.

For long cooking times, switch off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before finishing cooking. This saves up to 20% on energy.

Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.

Meat of up to 1kg 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 off the oven 10 minutes before the end time.

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.

During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause

damage to the environment.

All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.

Warning!

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and authorised electrician. No alterations or wilful changes in the electricity supply should be carried out.

Fitting guidelines

The cooker is manufactured to work with three-phase alternating current (400V 3N~50Hz). The voltage rating of the cooker heating elements is 230V. Adapting the cooker to operate with one-phase current is possible by appropriate bridging in the connection box according to the connection diagram below. The connection diagram is also found on the cover of the connection box. 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.

Warning!

Remember to connect the safety circuit to the connection box terminal marked with The electricity supply for the cooker must have a safety switch which enables the power to be cut off in case of emergency. The distance between the working contacts of the safety switch must be at least 3mm

Before connecting the cooker to the power supply it is important to read the information on the data plate and the connection diagram.

Oven functions and operation.

Oven with conventional heating (including top + bottom heaters)

The oven can be warmed up using the bottom and top heaters, as well as the grill. Operation of the oven is controlled by the oven function knob - to set a required function you should turn the knob to the selected position,

as well as the temperature regulator knob – to set a required function you should turn the knob to the selected position.

The oven can be switched off by setting both of these knobs to the position /0

Possible settings of the oven function knob

0 Oven is off

Grill heater on

Setting the knob to this position allows dishes to be grilled on the grate.

Top heater on

Setting the knob to this position allows the oven to be heated only with the top heater switched on, e.g. use for final baking from above.

Bottom heater on

When the knob is set to this position the oven is heated using only the bottom heater. Use for e.g. final baking from the bottom.

Bottom and top heaters on

Setting the knob to this position allows the oven to be heated conventionally.

Separate oven lighting

By setting the knob to this position the lighting inside the oven is switched on, e.g. use when washing the oven chamber.

ECO Heating

This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when preparing food. At this knob position, the oven lighting is off.

Switching on the oven is indicated by two signal lights, R, L, turning on. The R light turned on means the oven is working. If the L light goes out, it means the oven has reached the set temperature. If a recipe recommends placing dishes in a warmed-up oven, this should be not done before the L light goes out for the first time. When baking, the L light will temporarily come on and go out (to maintain the temperature inside the oven). The R signal light may also turn on at the knob position of "oven chamber lighting".

Use of the grill

The grilling process operates through infrared rays emitted onto the dish by the incandescent grill heater.

In order to switch on the grill you need to:

• set the oven knob to the position marked with
  heat the oven for approximately 5 minutes (with the oven door shut).
• insert a tray with a dish onto the appropriate cooking level, and if you are grilling on the grate insert a tray for dripping on the level immediately below (under the grate).
  the oven door shut.

For grilling and combined grill the temperature must be set to 250^ but for the grill function with fan it must be set to a maximum of 190^ .

Caution!

The grill should be used with the oven door shut.

When the grill is in use, accessible parts can become hot.

It is recommended to keep children away from the oven.

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;
• 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 off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.;
• 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 significantly different from the values included in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.

Roasting meat

• cook meat weighing over 1kg 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.

ECO Heating

• ECO Heating an optimised heating function designed to save energy when preparing food.
• You cannot reduce the cooking time by setting a higher temperature; preheating the oven is not recommended.
• Do not change the temperature setting and do not open the oven door during cooking.
