WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Only use the temperature probe recommended for use in this oven. WARNING: Before replacing the light bulb, make sure the appliance has been disconnected from the power mains, in order to prevent the hazard of an electric shock.
Oven door become very hot during operation. A third glass is installed for extra protection, reducing the temperature of the outside surface (only with some models). 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.
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.
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.
Page 16
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.
Page 17
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE - Use quality cookware with fl at 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 fi ts that of the cooking zones.

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS (COOKING MODES) AND COOKING TABLES If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table, find information for similar food. The information displayed applies to cooking in a single level. An interval of suggested temperature is indicated. Start with a lower temperature setting and increase it if you find the food is not browned sufficiently.
Page 28
COOKING SYSTEMS UPPER AND BOTTOM HEATER The heaters in the bottom and in the ceiling of the oven cavity will radiate heat evenly into the oven interior. Roasting meat: Use enamel coated, tempered glass, clay, or cast iron pan or tray. Stainless steel trays are not suitable as they strongly reflect the heat.
Page 29
Baking pastry Only use one level and dark baking sheets or trays. In light-coloured baking sheets or trays, the browning of the pastry will be poorer, as such equipment will reflect the heat. Always place the baking trays on the grid. If you are using the supplied baking sheet, remove the grid.

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.
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.
Page 45
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. 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.
USING THE AQUA CLEAN FUNCTION TO CLEAN THE OVEN Turn the COOKING SYSTEM SELECTOR KNOB to Aqua Clean. 2. Set the TEMPERATURE KNOB to 70 °C. Pour 0.6 l water into the glass tray and place it into the lower guide. After 30 minutes, food residues on the oven enamel walls will have softened and they will be easy to clean with a damp...
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 Remove them from the openings at the top.
INSTALLING THE CATALYTIC INSERTS Only use conventional cleaners to clean the guides. Remove the wire guides or extendible guides. Mount the guides onto the catalytic insert. Hang the inserts with guides attached using the holes provided, and pull upwards. When installing fully extendible guides with catalytic inserts, insert one end of the supplied snap locks into the openings at the bottom of the oven cavity wall and insert...
CLEANING THE OVEN CAVITY CEILING (depending on the model) Upper grill heater is foldable to allow easier cleaning of the oven cavity ceiling. Before cleaning the oven, remove the trays, the grid, and the guides. Pull the heater until the cross bar is released from the supports on the left and right hand side of the oven cavity.
Page 51
REMOVING AND INSERTING THE OVEN OOR (depending on the model) First, fully open the door (as far as it will go). A Rotate the stoppers all the way back (in case of conventional closing). B With soft closing system, rotate the stoppers back by 90°.
Page 52
SOFT DOOR CLOSING (depending on the model) Oven door is fitted with a system that dampens the door closing force, starting at the 75-degree angle. It allows simple, quiet, and smooth closing of the door. A gentle push (to a 15-degree angle relative to the closed door position) is enough for the door to close automatically and softly.
REMOVING AND INSERTING THE OVEN DOOR GLASS PANE Oven door glass pane can be cleaned from the inside, but it has to be removed first. Remove the oven door (see chapter "Removing and replacing the oven door"). Slightly lift the supports on the left and right side of the door (marking 1 on the support) and pull them away from the glass pane (marking 2 on the support).
REPLACING THE BULB The bulb is a consumable and therefore not covered by warranty. Before changing the bulb, remove the trays, the grid, and the guides. (Halogen lamp: G9, 230 V, 25 W; regular bulb E14, 25 W, 230 V) Use a flat screwdriver to release the bulb cover and remove it.
