Safety Cooker development has progressed rapidly. You cannot always use your new cooker in the same way as your old one. For this reason, you should read the instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with your new cooker and what it can do. The cooker is intended for normal household use. Please let us know if you have views or questions about your cooker and its use. You can find our address and telephone number in the “Service” chapter. Text marked with a WARNING TRIANGLE concerns safety.
If you have a pacemaker, we suggest however that you CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR for advice. If there is any doubt whatsoever, we recommend that you DO NOT use products fitted with induction hobs. How to use The appliance becomes hot during use. Do not touch the hob or the heating-elements inside the oven when the appliance is in use. Never use a cracked ceramic glass plate. Liquids could, if they boil over, or during cleaning, penetrate down into the live electrical components.
Installation Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by a QUALIFIED EXPERT. 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. When delivered, the cooker is adjusted to a bench height of 900 mm (35.4"). The cooker has a telescopic plinth. You can change the height so that the cooker suits a bench height from 848 mm (33.4") up to 933 mm (36.7").
Adjusting the height of the base If you wish to adjust the height, please read the following points before you start. 1 Lay down the cooker gently (SEE ILLUSTRATION). Use, for example, the polystyrene from the packaging between the cooker and the floor as protection. Remember to locate a protective layer under the lower rear corners of the cooker sides to protect the floor. 2 Unscrew the screws A (4 SCREWS, SEE ILLUSTRATION). Pull out the inner base slightly if you only wish to change the height.
The anti-tip guard The anti-tip guard must be fitted to prevent the cooker from tipping over with abnormal loads. The anti-tip guard only works when the cooker has been pushed into place. HOW YOU FIX THE ANTI-TIP GUARD TO THE COOKER : 1 Before fitting the anti-tip guard, make sure that the cooker has been adjusted to the correct height and is standing level (see page 7). 2 The attachment (B) is fitted to the left side when delivered. Measure out where the anti-tip guard (A) is to be located, 60 mm (2.
Electrical connections Any work required on the cooker must be carried out by a QUALIFIED EXPERT. Any work carried out by non-qualified people can mean poorer cooker performance and result in personal injury and/or damage to property. The electrical installation is to include a device whereby it is possible to separate all the poles of the equipment from the power supply, with a contact opening of at least 3 mm. This requirement must be satisfied for safety reasons.

Before using for the first time Setting the clock When the power to the oven is connected, a clock symbol flashes until you have set the time on the clock. SET THE TIME LIKE THIS: 1 Press or to set the right time. 2 To change time already set, press On/Off . Then press until flashes. tills Follow the instructions in alternative 1. After about 5 seconds the clock stops flashing and the time is shown in the display. Now you can use the cooker.
Heat the oven emty Keep children under supervision! The cooker becomes very hot. Do not forget to remove all packing material from inside the oven. The oven must be burnt off before it is used for the first time. This is done as follows: 1 Open the oven door and remove all the accessories from the oven cavity. 2 Switch on the oven . Select hot air by using or . Select a temperature of 200oC. The temperature can be changed by using and . The oven door must be closed.
Telescopic runners To prevent scratches during transport, the telescopic runners are covered with a protective coating when delivered. This coating must be removed from the runners before they are used, otherwise it can burn fast and damage the rails. Note! Make sure that the cooker antitip guard is fitted, see page 8 The telescopic runners replace the ordinary oven step units that are fitted in the cooker when it is delivered. They consist of two rails that can be pulled out.
Using grids, baking plates and roasting pan It is important for the oven grid, the shelves and the roasting pan to be fixed between the stops in the front and rear edges of the rails to prevent them from falling off the rails. Place the baking plate/roasting pan/grid in the rear edge and fix against the front edge. The locating pin fits into a slot under the edge of the baking plate/roasting pan, which means that the baking plate/roasting pan is held in position.
Using the induction hob The hob has four heating zones. They are heated with the aid of a magnetic field, i.e. INDUCTION. This means that • cooking takes place faster compared with a normal glass hob • the zone responds “directly” to a change in the heating setting. NOTE THAT THE INDUCTION ZONES CAN STILL BE HOT AFTER USE . The glass in the hob tolerates, heat, cold and temperature shocks, but is sensitive to impact. A spice jar or grinder falling onto the plate could crack it.
Never use a cracked plate or an oven with a cracked timer glass. Liquids could, if they boil over, or during cleaning, penetrate down into the live electrical components. Turn off the power supply to the cooker and contact Service for repairs. Never lay metal objects such as lids, knives and spoons on the hob. They become hot if a heating zone is switched on by mistake.
Check that • the pan or frying-pan has a magnetic bottom. • the pan or frying-pan is not too small. 2 Choose the desired setting with or . Remember that the pan heats up much faster than on an ordinary hob. 3 Turn off the hob after use. The zones share the heating effect that when the two rear or the two front induction zones are switched on at the same time, they share the heating effect. This is shown by a clicking sound from the hob and the fact that cooking may possibly increase and decrease.
Choice of cooking utensils Use only pans that are intended for use with a ceramic glass hob and oven. When choosing a pan or frying-pan for the hob, remember that the pan bottom: • must be magnetic. • does not need to be completely adapted to the zone size, but a small pan on a large zone means longer cooking time. • must be smooth or finely patterned. We recommend the following minimum dimensions for the pan bottom diameter; HEATING ZONE (DIAM. MM) PAN/FRYING PAN (DIAM.
Safety switch-off of the cooking zones If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or the heating setting is not changed, the cooking zone concerned is switched off automatically. Residual heating is shown by (“hot”) in the digital display for the cooking zone concerned. The cooking zones are switched off automatically in accordance with the following timetable: • Setting , • Setting , • Setting , after 6 hours after 5 hours after 4 hours • Setting , , , after 1.

Practical use Never place aluminium foil, a roasting pan or a shelf directly on the bottom of the oven. If the bottom heater is blocked, the enamel can be damaged by over-heating. The oven becomes hot when used, KEEP AN EYE ON CHILDREN. If the temperature changes and/or the food is placed unevenly, for example pizza, there is a risk that it will warp. The shelf will return to its original form when it cools down.
Baking with hot air With HOT AIR, baking becomes more rational, since two plates used at the same time in the oven means a shorter overall baking time. Browning can be rather uneven, especially if the rolled-out dough has not risen properly. Is the result not what you expected? Read “Practical advice & tips” on page 63, for tips to solve your baking problems. Cooking Follow the recommendations in the table.
Roasting Roasting in the oven is convenient and practical with both TOP AND BOTTOM HEATING and HOT AIR. Beef steaks, such as roast beef and fillets, are juiciest when cooked at 125°C, but take a little longer time than at a higher oven temperature. Choose an oven-proof dish with low edges into which the roast just fits, this avoids the stock from drying in. Roasting a ham often results in alot of stock. Therefore use a large roasting dish or roasting pan and be careful when removing it from the oven.
SETTING This is how to use the roasting thermometer: 1 Stick the thermometer into the meat. 2 Push the cover cap aside and connect the thermometer into the outlet in the oven (right-hand side). 3 Start the oven . 4 60ºC is the pre-set temperature. You can now set the desired temperature by pressing and then or . The actual temperature and the desired temperature are shown in the information window (SEE ILLUSTRATION). The information window follows the temperature increase in the meat.
To check or change the temperature • Press until the roasting • thermometer function flashes and the chosen temperature shows in the display. If you want to change the temperature, use and . To check or change the oven temperature • If you want to change the temperature, use and . Turbo Max Grill (gratin preparation) With Turbo Max. Grill, the food is ready faster and has more even colouring tham with the grill function.
the oven while thick spare ribs, etc. should be placed in the lower part of the oven. Select and set the desired temperature, max. 250ºC. Start grilling after 3-5 minutes pre-heating. Watch carefully, and turn over at least once during cooking. Grilling for too long gives dry, tough and, in the worst case, burnt food. The oven door must be closed during grilling. Pie/pizza position This function works excellently when preparing pies, gratin or pizza. When preparing pizza, place it in the middle slot.
Heat retention setting To keep food warm. Drying/Thawing For thawing frozen food. Thawing When thawing meat, fish and glazed or filled baked products, such as Swiss rolls, the temperature should be set at zero. Grids or shelves can be placed in several slots when there is much to thaw. Timing can not be precise, so it is always a good idea to check with a probe.
Cleaning and care Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooker! Cleaning the cooker The easiest way to clean the oven is by using a clean cloth, hot water and a little washingup liquid directly after the oven has been used. NEVER USE SCOURING AGENTS OR OTHER ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES. Note that the anti-tip guard does not function when you pull the cooker out to clean behind it. Handle Never use scouring agents or other agents that could cause scratches such as sponges with an abrasive surface.
Cleaning the ceramic hob Immediately after use (while the plate is still hot) clean with the blade scraper to remove sugar and spills with a high sugar content, such as marmalade, and also any melted plastic or foil in order to avoid damage to the plate. IF THE HOB IS VERY DIRTY: 1 Remove stains with the blade scraper (see below). 2 Use cleaning agents when the heat warner has gone out. Shake the bottle and spray a couple of narrow strips onto the plate. Rub clean with a damp cloth or kitchen tissue.
