Warning and Safety instructions This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. Before installation and before using the appliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important notes on safety, on the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when: – it is switched off at the wall socket – or the mains fuse is withdrawn – or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable) Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance. Use Caution, danger of burning. High temperatures are produced by the oven and the hob cooking areas.
Warning and Safety instructions Cover any food which is left in the oven to be kept hot. This avoids the food drying out. It also prevents steam condensing and possibly leading to moisture damage in the oven. If food is left in the oven after cooking, e.g. to take advantage of the residual heat, turn the temperature selector switch to “0°C”. Leave the function selector switch at the position set. Do not switch the appliance off until the food has been removed.
Warning and Safety instructions Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or alumium foil to get on to the cooking zones when they are hot. If this should occur, turn to a lower setting but do not switch off. Immediately scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob with a shielded razor blade scraper, taking care not to burn yourself.
Warning and Safety instructions Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through.
Safety feature Oven door locking (Exception: appliances in stainless steel and with a bowed handle in the Classic range.) When you shut the oven door the lock catch will automatically engage. A lock is incorporated in the oven door. This makes it difficult for children to open the oven door. To activate the door lock proceed as follows: Open the door completely. To open the oven door hold under the handle and push the lever to the right. The door is now unlocked and can be opened.
Before using for the first time Timer Oven Use a cloth to wipe out the oven interior with a warm water and detergent solution. Polish dry with a dry cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven interior is dry. Rinse the accessories. After the appliance has been switched on “0•00" and ”AUTO" flash in the display. Setting the time of day (24 hour display) Press the buttons “g” und “)” at the same time. “0•00" and ”AUTO" continue to flash. Enter the time of day in hours•minutes with the – /+ button.
Before using for the first time New appliances have a slight smell on first use. Running the oven for an hour at a high temperature makes it dissipate more quickly. Turn the oven function selector to “Fan Heat D”. Ceramic hob Thoroughly clean the ceramic hob before use, then clean regularly after use when just warm to the touch, or cold. There might be a slight smell on first use due to the drying effect. Select the highest temperature. The timer can be used to set the finish time.
Hob controls The controls for the cooking zones / hotplates regulate the heat output. Suggested hob settings Setting Only turn the controls in a clockwise direction until a resistance is felt, and back again. Turning them in the other direction will damage them. When the control is turned to a setting, the control lamp for the cooking area lights up. This goes out when the hob control is turned to “0". Cooking Choose a high setting number for boiling/frying.
Hobs - description Ceramic hobs Diameter of cooking zones The cooking zones are clearly marked on the hob. Only the zone that is switched on heats up. The surround remains relatively cool. Residual heat indicator Each cooking zone has a residual heat indicator. When the zone has been turned on, the indicator light comes on when the zone reaches a certain temperature. The indicator goes out when the heated surface of the hob is cool enough to touch.
Hobs - use Choice of suitable pans Size of pan Attention to correct choice and use of pans – will help you obtain the best cooking result most economically, – and generally avoid food boiling over and sticking. Pan bases The diameter of the saucepan or frying pan should be very slightly larger than that of the hotplate/cooking area. Pan lids For maximum economy of electricity when cooking or frying, only use pans with a flat or very slightly concave base. When hot the pan will rest evenly on the hob.
Hobs - use Notes on the use on hobs (both ceramic and enclosed hotplates) Before switching on, place a saucepan containing water or food to be cooked on the hotplate or cooking area. This prevents unnecessary use of energy or the hotplates warping or burning themselves out. Before starting to cook, make sure that the hotplates or cooking areas and the base of saucepan are clean and dry. This saves extra cleaning later on.
Description of the systems Fan Heat D Conventional heating A This system works by the circulation of heated air. With this conventional method of heating, radiant heat is directed on the food from above and below. A fan situated on the back wall of the oven sucks in the air, heats it over a ring element and blows the heated air through the carefully spaced openings in the rear panel of the oven. The oven does not usually need to be pre-heated as the heated air reaches the food straight away.
Oven - use Controls There is an oven function selector and a temperature selector. Function selector – Light H Turns on the oven light independently. – Fan heat D For baking or roasting on several levels at the same time. – Conventional A Top and bottom heat for baking / roasting traditional recipes, for soufflés. – Top heat C For browning dishes, finishing dishes with a cheese topping. – Bottom heat B Use this setting towards the end of baking, to brown the base of a cake.
Oven - use Temperature selector The oven can only be turned on with the oven function selector, when the symbol “@” lights up in the timer display. Press the “i” button. Pre-heating the oven This is only necessary in a few cases. With Fan Heat D – for roast beef and beef fillet. Select the appropriate temperature for the food to be cooked. Turn the temperature selector only in a clockwise direction, and back, otherwise the control could be damaged.
Oven - use Rack with safety feature The non-tip safety feature prevents the rack from being pulled right out when it only needs to be partially pulled out. When using the rack push it into the oven so that the safety notches (illustrated) go to the rear of the oven, to meet the notches on the runners. The rack can then only be taken right out of the oven by raising it upwards and then pulling it out.

Roasting in the oven We recommend the following settings for roasting in the oven: – Fan Heat D – Conventional A Fan Heat D: Make sure the grease filter is fitted in front of the fan in the back of the oven interior before starting. We recommend roasting in a covered pot L: – This ensures that sufficient stock remains for making gravy. – The oven stays cleaner, too. Roasting pots with a lid, made from earthenware, cast iron, ovenproof china or glass, and roasting foil are suitable.
Roasting in the oven Calculating roasting time: The traditional British method is to allow 15 to 20 minutes to the lb, according to type of meat, plus approx. 20 minutes, adjusting length of time as roasting proceeds, to obtain the required result. Alternatively, multiply the height of the joint by the time per cm for the type of meat, (see the roasting chart). Type of meat Beef / Venison Pork / Veal / Lamb Roast beef / Fillet time per cm height of meat 15-18 mins. 12-15 mins. 8-10 mins.

Defrosting in the oven Turn the oven function selector to "Defrost G". Do not select any temperature setting. – Where possible remove the packaging and put the food to be defrosted on a baking tray or into a dish. – All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. Do not use the liquids from defrosting. – When defrosting poultry put it on the rack, one level higher than a tray put in to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.
Casseroles Cassseroles Please note: The following oven settings are recommended: Cover dishes which are to be cooked in their own juice and/or steam, eg duchesse potatoes or vegetables, so that they do not dry out. If there is no lid use aluminium foil or damp cooking parchment. – Fan Heat D – Conventional A The following dishes are suitable for this type of slower cooking: covered pots made of ovenproof glass and china, and earthenware pots, which could also be used as serving dishes.
Grilling in the oven Pre-heat the grill for approx. 5 minutes with the oven door shut. Grilling with the oven door shut saves energy and minimizes cooking smells. Grilling on the rack Preparing food for grilling Clean, wipe and season. Do not salt slices of meat beforehand as this detracts from the taste. Add a little oil if necessary. Other fats quickly become black or cause the food to smoke. A little butter can be added to chicken if desired. Assemble the grill pan and rack as shown.
Grilling in the oven Insert the grill pan at the appropriate level for the height of the food to be grilled: Basting brush thin cuts = level 3, 4 or 5 thicker cuts = level 1 or 2 Grilling time Flat pieces of fish and meat usually need about 5-6 minutes a side depending on their texture. Thicker pieces need longer. With rolled meat allow approx. 10 minutes per cm diameter.
Grilling Grill chart Pre-heat the grill for about 5 minutes with the door shut before using.
Cleaning and care Ceramic hob surface In general you can use the same cleaning agents for the ceramic hob surface as you would for ordinary glass surfaces. Never use scouring agents or pads, or strong cleaners such as oven sprays or stain removers, as these could harm the surface. Clean after each use Any minor spills which have not dried on can be wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge. If washing up liquid or a similar cleaner is used, light blue staining might occur.
Clean and care Removal of sugar, or syrups, plastic or aluminium foil Do not let the hob cool down. Scrape the sugar or other residue thoroughly from the hob with a shielded razor blade scraper. When the hob is cool, clean with a proprietary cleaner. Suitable cleaners There are proprietary cleaners on the market for cleaning ceramic hobs. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Some cleaners incorporate a silicone ingredient which acts as a protective film on the hob.
Cleaning and care Enclosed hotplates Hotplate surround. Hotplates This can be cleaned with a suitable stainless steel cleaner. Wipe off any spilt food with a damp cloth after the hotplates have cooled off. Use a plastic scouring pad if necessary for stubborn spills. Moisture or dirt must not penetrate the hotplate interior. The hotplates can be scoured, but not the hotplate surround. Do not use any cleaning agent with a scouring effect.
Cleaning and care Appliance front and control panel Use a mild cleaning agent or a dash of washing up liquid in hot water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
