• Remove residuals on the hotplates with a soft cloth.
• Do not wash or scrub the hotplates.
• Clean the fastening rings of the hotplates with washing-up liquid or a mild detergent. Dry them carefully.
• Clean the enamel surround of the hob with a suitable commercially available detergent for enamel.

Oven

• The oven should be cleaned after every use.
• The oven chamber should be washed with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid only.
• After having cleaned the oven chamber wipe it dry.
• Never clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.
• The oven cavity should only be cleaned with warm soapy water, using either a sponge or a soft cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
• Any stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven are generated by food splashes or spilt food. These splashes occur during the cooking process, a possible result of food being cooked with very high temperature or being placed in cookware which is too small.
• You should select a cooking temperature and function which are appropriate for the food that you are cooking. You should also ensure that the food is placed in an adequately-sized dish and that you use the drip tray if possible.
• The outer parts of the oven should be cleaned with warm soapy water only, using either a sponge or a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• If you use an oven cleaner, check the manufacturer’s instructions of the cleaner (if it is suitable for cleaning your appliance).
• Any damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning product will not be

How to clean the oven with water vapour.

2. Place the drip tray on the bottom of the oven and close the door.
3. Select the function BOTTOM HEAT and set a temperature of 50° C.
4. Switch off the appliance after approx. 30 minutes and disconnect it from the mains (fuse box).
5. Clean the interior of the oven with a damp cloth.

NOTICE! Do not use detergents with aggressive and/or abrasive ingredients to clean the glass-door; otherwise you may damage or break the glass.

Changing of the illuminant
WARNING! Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains (fuse box) before you change the illuminant.

Remove the glass cover and the illuminant. Install the glass and a new illuminant of the same kind and power in reverse order. Connect the appliance to the mains (fuse box) and check that the illuminant works properly. If it is not working, contact the aftersales service.

• According to the EU regulation No. 244/2009, your appliance is classified as a household appliance in accordance with the ecodesign requirements for non- directional household lamps. This means that bulbs, which are used in household appliances, must not be used to illuminate domestic establishments.

ENERGY SAVING

• Use proper cookware for cooking. Cookware with thick, flat bases can save up to1/3 of electric energy. Remember to cover pans if possible; otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
• Match the size of the cookware to the surface of the heating plate. A cookware should never be smaller than a heating plate.
• Ensure that the heating plates and the cookware are clean.
• Soils will prevent heat-transfer. Repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often be removed by products only, which will damage the environment.
• Do not uncover the cookware too often (a watched pot-content will never boil!).
• Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
• Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
• For long cooking times, switch off the heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before you will finish cooking. This saves up to 20% of energy.
• Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
• Meat of up to 1kg can be prepared more economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
• Make use of residual heat from the oven.
• lf the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before the end time.
• Make sure the oven door is properly closed.
• Heat can leak through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
• Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/ freezers. Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
