Oven door hinges may be damaged when under excessive load. Do not place heavy pans on open oven door and do not lean against open oven door when cleaning the oven cavity. Never stand on the open oven door and do not let children to sit on it. Make sure the vents are never covered or obstructed in any other way.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME If your cooking hob has conventional cooking zones, switch them on to the maximum power for 3 to 5 minutes without any cookware on them. As the cooking zones heat up, some smoke may appear on the cooking hob surface. Thus, the cooking zone finish reaches its maximum resistance. If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washingup liquid.
COOKING HOB CONVENTIONAL HOBS - Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface. - Overheated fat and oil on the cooking zones may ignite. Therefore, be careful when cooking with fat or oil and always control the cooking process. - Do not place wet cookware or lids covered in steam on the cooking zones. Moisture may damage the cooking zones.
GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE - The heating zone will quickly reach the set power or temperature, while the area around the hot cooking zones will remain cook. - The hob is resistant to temperature changes. - The hob is also impact-resistant. Even if the cookware is placed onto the hob roughly, the hob will not be damaged. - Using the glass ceramic hob as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage to it. - Do not use aluminium or plastic cookware on hot cooking zones.
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE - Use quality cookware with flat and stable bottom. - Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters should be the same. - Tempered glass cookware with special ground bottom may be used on the cooking zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking zones. Cookware with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension. - Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone. - When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply and wait for the appliance to cool down. Children should not clean the appliance or perform maintenance tasks without proper supervision. Aluminium finish Clean the aluminium finish with non-abrasive liquid cleaners intended for such surfaces. Apply the cleaner onto a wet cloth and clean the surface. Then, rinse the surface with water. Do not apply the cleaner directly onto the aluminium finish.
CLEANING THE COOKING HOBS Clean the area around the cooking zones with hot water and some washing-up liquid. For stubborn dirt, use a steel wool pad soaked with detergent; then, rinse the hob and wipe it dry. Liquids containing salt, boiled-over liquids and moisture have detrimental effect on the cooking zones. Always clean the cooking zones, Use regular cleaners and commercially available conditioners to maintain the cooking zones.
Use special glass ceramic cleaners for stubborn dirt. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to thoroughly remove any cleaner residues after the cleaning process as they may damage the glass ceramic surface when the cooking zones heat up. Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper. Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent injury. Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed with a wet cloth or special cleaners for glass ceramic surfaces.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN CLEANING You may use the standard cleaning procedure to clean stubborn dirt in the oven (using cleaners or an oven spray). After such cleaning, rinse the cleaner residues thoroughly. Clean the oven and the accessories after each use to prevent the dirt from burning into the surface. The easiest way to remove fat is by using warm soapsuds while the oven is still warm. With stubborn dirt and grime, use conventional oven cleaners.
USING THE AQUA CLEAN FUNCTION TO CLEAN THE OVEN 1 Turn the COOKING SYSTEM SELECTOR KNOB to Aqua Clean. 2. Set the TEMPERATURE KNOB to 70 °C. 2 Pour 0.6 l water into the glass tray and place it into the lower guide. 3 After 30 minutes, food residues on the oven enamel walls will have softened and they will be easy to clean with a damp cloth. Use the Aqua Clean system when the oven has fully cooled down.
REMOVING AND CLEANING WIRE AND TELESCOPIC EXTENDIBLE GUIDES Only use conventional cleaners to clean the guides. A Hold the guides by the bottom side and pull them towards the center of the oven cavity. B B Remove them from the openings at the top. A B A 479762 Do not clean the extendible guides in the dishwasher.
INSTALLING THE CATALYTIC INSERTS Only use conventional cleaners to clean the guides.
