Make sure that the plug is completely pushed into the mains socket. The cooker is heavy. Edges

and corners, with which you do not normally come into contact, can be sharp. Use gloves when

moving the cooker. Do not pull the appliance by the oven handle or by the hob.

Important! Do not place the cooker on an extra plinth or other height increasing unit. This means

sparks or naked flames in the vicinity when opening the door.

•Smother the fire with a pan lid, never use water.

•On the hob, use only pans which are intended for use on hotplates. Use only ovenproof

dishes and containers in the oven.

Accessories

Clean the accessories before using them for the first time. Wash the shelves, roasting pan,

etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry

Shelf

For placing dishes on (roast, pastry,

mounds)

The dish should be put in the middle of the

shelf to balance the weight.

Roasting tray

It is used to collect juice;

When cooking on it, place it on the 2nd

shelf.

If you do not use the roasting tray,

remove it from the oven.

Before first use

Before the first use be sure that the room is well ventilated: V.M.C. (Mechanic

ventilation) or opened window.

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the oven.

Keep the children under supervision. The cooker becomes very hot.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant

odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective films, if there are any.

3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on position “250” for about 45 min.

Clean the accessories with a soft detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

About condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents

allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when

opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim,

it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the

oven.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from

surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C.

Daily use

Electric hotplate

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant knob to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0-6

0 – Off

1 – Minimum

6 – Maximum

The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal hotplates

We recommend to switch the hotplates to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and

then to adjust to the required setting.

Rapid Hotplate (Front left)

The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat up more quickly than a normal

plate.

Over a period of time the red spot may disappear, this will not affect the performance of

the hotplate.

It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant

odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after some

time.

Main pilot light

This light will illuminate when the oven function control knob is set or the hotplate

control knobs are turned on and remain lit while these are in use.

Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table:

OFF 0

Very Gentle 1

To keep food warm

To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle 2

To prepare cream-sauces, stews and

milk puddings or to fry eggs

Slow 3

Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit,

boiling water or milk

Medium 4

Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables,

pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or

fish

High 5

Larger stews, meat roll, fish,

omelet’s, steaks

Fast 6

Steaks, escalope and frying

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have

several characteristics:

•They should be fairly heavy duty.

•They should fit the heat area exactly, or be

slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER

smaller.

•They should have a flat base to ensure good

contact with the hotplate. This is particularity

important when using pans for high

temperature frying pressure cooking.

Good use

Bad use

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn the hotplate

control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid

simmering.

You can switch off the hotplate a short while

before you finish cooking and the final stage will be

completed using the accumulated heat.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids

being split into the plates. Never leave the

plates on without a pan on them or with an

empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles

inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a

pan as you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily

ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force

Centre.

Electric oven

The oven has removable side racks for the shelves with four rungs on each side.

Oven functions

For all oven functions, the oven indicator light comes on when the oven is

heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the

thermostat switches in and out). To choose an oven function, turn the function

control clockwise to the symbol for the desired function.

Oven light

The oven light comes on automatically for all settings. You can also have just the light on

without any of the other functions being turned on.

Top/bottom heat

Using both top and bottom elements.

Top element

Heat comes from the top of the oven.

Bottom element

Heat comes from the bottom to heat the oven.

Practical use

Never place aluminum foil, baking trays or oven dishes directly on the bottom of the

oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through

overheating. The oven gets hot when in use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE SUPERVISED.

The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food,

(pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.

Bottom element

The heat comes from the bottom of the oven only. This position of the oven function knob

is recommended for finishing cooked dishes.

Preheating is necessary.

How to proceed?

1. Preheat the oven the oven function knob on position for about 10 min.

2. Insert the meal.

Top element

It is a radiant cooking. The heat comes from the top of the oven only. This position of the

oven function knob is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g. lasagna, shepherds pie,

cauliflower cheese etc.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

How to proceed?

1. Insert the meal on the 3rd level.

2. Turn the oven function knob on position .

To turn off the oven turn the knob clockwise to position off “0”.
