3 before first use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance and plug it in a socket. Follow the installation instructions in chapter INSTALLATION for installing the cooker.
Clean the cooker and all the accessories with warm water and a mild cleaning detergent. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Operate the oven for about 30 minutes at the maximum temperature to burn off all traces of grease which might otherwise create unpleasant smells when preparing food.

4 installation

The following instructions are addressed to the qualified specialist installing the cooker. These instructions aim at ensuring that installation and maintenance activities are performed as professionally as possible.

• Ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible before installing the cooker.
• The adjustment conditions are stated on the rating label.
• This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.
• Move the appliance with at least two people and were protective clothing, such as sturdy gloves.
• Do not lift the appliance by the handle of the oven door.

INSTALLING THE COOKER

• The kitchen should be dry and well ventilated and have effective ventilation according to the existing technical provisions.
• The room should be equipped with a ventilation system that pipes away exhaust fumes created during combustion. This system should consist of a ventilation grid or hood. Hoods should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cooker should be placed so as to ensure free access to all control elements.
• The room should also enable the necessary air supply for proper gas combustion. Air supply should be not less than 2m³/h per 1 kW of burner heat. The air can be delivered from outside by a duct with a section of at least 100cm², or indirectly from adjoining rooms which are fitted with ventilation ducts leading outside.
• If the appliance is used intensively and for a long time, it may be necessary to open a window in order to improve ventilation.
• In terms of protection against the overheating of surrounding surfaces, the gas cooker is an X ­- class appliance and can be built into furniture only up to the level of the cooking hob, that is around 850 mm above the floor. Raising furniture construction over this level is inadvisable. Coating or veneer used on fitted furniture must be applied with a heat resistant adhesive (100°C). This prevents surface deformation or detachment of the coating. If you are unsure of your furniture’s heat resistance, you should leave approximately 2 cm of free space around the cooker. The wall behind the cooker should be resistant to high temperatures. During operation, its back side can warm up to around 50°C above the ambient temperature.
• The cooker should stand on a hard, even floor (do not put it on a base).
• Before you start using the cooker it should be leveled, which is particularly important for fat distribution in a frying pan. To this purpose, the adjustable feet are accessible after removal of the drawer. The adjustment range is ± 5 mm.

MOUNTING THE OVERTURNING PREVENTION BRACKET

The bracket is mounted to prevent overturning of the cooker. When the overturning prevention bracket is installed, a child who climbs on the oven door will not overturn the appliance.

GAS CONNECTION

Caution!
The cooker should be connected to a gas supply of the particular type of gas that the appliance is manufactured to function with. Information about the type of gas that the cooker has been adapted to by the factory is shown on the rating label. The cooker should be connected exclusively by an appropriately authorised fitter and only that person has the right to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas. .

Fitting guidelines
A fitter should:

• have a gas fitter’s authorisation;

• be acquainted with the information included on the rating label of the cooker about the type of gas to which the cooker is adapted; the information should be compared with the gas supply conditions at the place of installation;

• check:
  – airing efficiency, that is effeciency of air exchange in the rooms;
  – tightness of gas fitting connections;
  – effectiveness of alle functional elements of the cooker;
  – if the electricity supply is adapted to function with a safety ground lead (zero).

• check the settings of the control knobs for the burnersde to ensure good functioning of the ingition and the thermocouple.

Caution!
The cooker may only be connected to a liquid gas cylinder of the existing gas supply by an authorised fitter, observing all safety rules.

Connection with a flexible steel hose
If the cooker is connected according to the class 2 specifications, sub-class I, only flexible metal hose can be used which meet the valid national regulations. Gas feeding connector must be G ½” threaded coupling. Use only pipes and fittings that meet the requirements of the valid standards. Maximum admissible length of the flexible hose is 2000 mm. Make sure the connection is not touching any mobile elements which could damage the hose.

Connection with a stable pipework
The cooker comes with a G ½” threaded coupling. The connection to gas supply must be done in a manner that excludes stresses in any point of the pipework or parts of the appliance. Make sure you do not exceed the torque when making the connection (maximum torque is 20 Nm). Otherwise, the connection may be faulty or leaks may occur.

The gas hose should not touch metal elements of the cooker back shield.

Important! Each time you replace a reducer, carry out technical inspection of the cooker that covers gas valves and proper operation of the flame failure cut-off device.
Caution! On completion of the cooker installation, the tightness of all connections should be checked, e.g. applying water with soap. Do not use fire to check tightness.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The cooker is manufactured to work with a one-phase alternating current (230V 1N~50Hz) and is equipped with a 3 x 1,5 mm² connection lead of 1.5 m length with a plug including a protection contact.
• A connection socket for electricity supply should be equipped with a protection pin and may not be located above the cooker. After the cooker is positioned, it is necessary to make the connection socket accessible to the user.
• Before connecting the cooker to the socket, check if:
  – the fuse and electricity supply are able to withstand the cooker load,
  – the electricity supply is equipped with an efficacious ground system which meets the requirements of current standards and provisions.
  – the plug is within easy reach.

ADAPTING THE COOKER TO ANOTHER TYPE OF GAS
This operation may only be carried out by an appropriately authorised fitter.
If the gas the cooker is to be supplied with differs from the gas provided for the cooker by the manufacturer, that is G20 / 25 mbar, burner nozzles must be exchanged and the flame needs to be adjusted.
In order to adapt the cooker to burn a different type of gas, you should:

• exchange the nozzles (see the gas tables below);
• adjust the “economical” flame.

Caution! The cookers provided by the manufacturer have burners which are factory-adapted to use the gas specified on their rating labels.

Economical| 2. Unscrew an adjusting bolt slightly and adjust the flame size.| 2. Screw in an adjusting bolt slightly and check the flame size.

In order to perfom adjusting operations, take off the knobs.

Surface burners applied do not require adjustment of primary air. A correct flame has distinct internal cones of blue and green colour.
A short, humming flame or long, yellow and smoking one, without clearly outlined cones, shows improper quality of gas in the household piping or a damaged or soiled burner. In order to check a flame, heat a burner for around 10 minutes with a full flame, and next turn the valve knob to the economical flame position. The flame should not go out or jump onto the nozzles.

Exchange of a burner nozzle
Unscrew the nozzle with a special socket spanner No 7 and replace with a new one according to a type of gas (see gas tablel).

Caution! Adapting the appliance to a different type of gas than is indicated by the manufacturer of the cooker on the rating label, or purchasing a cooker for a different type of gas than supplied to the house, is exclusively the responsibilty of the user and the fitter.

In cookers with a safety device, a knob with a surface burner safety valve is used, fig. Knobs should be adjusted with the burner switched on and set to the economical flame position, using an adjustment screwdriver of the size 2.5 mm.

Caution! After adjustment is completed, place a label indicating the type of gas to which the cooker is now adapted.

6 how to use the burners

CHOICE OF COOKWARE

• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. When the flames burn around the pan, a lot of energy is lost and the handles from the pan may also become too hot.
• Use cookware that fit the burners in diameter. This reduces the cooking time.
• Use flat bottomed cookware.
• Always use the right amount of liquid for boiling food and use a lid to reduce the cooking time.
• The recommended pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger than the burner diameter, that is, for:
  • for a simmer burner – a pan with a diameter of 90 to 150 mm
  • for a semi-rapid burner – a pan with a diameter of 160 to 220 mm
  • for a wok burner – a pan with a diameter of 200 to 240 mm and the pan height should not be greater than its diameter.

CONTROL KNOBS FOR THE BURNERS

Before operating the hob please make sure that the burner caps are well positioned.

1. burner switched off
2. large flame
3. economical flame
4. thermocouple
5. ignition

Attention: always open the cover when using the cooker.

Each control knob has an automatic ignition.

• Press the control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the setting “large flame” .
• Hold the control knob down fully for at least 3 seconds between the highest and the lowest flame. The integrated ignition ignites the burner and the flame comes on.
• Hold down the control knob for 10 more seconds after the flame is on to activate the thermocouple. Otherwise the flame extinguishes immediately.
• When the burner is not ignited after 15 seconds, wait one minute before trying to ignite it again.
• When the burner accidentally goes out, the thermocouple safety pilot in each burner will close the gas supply (by boiling over, by drafts, no gas supply, etc.). No flame = no gas!

A correctly adjusted burner has a light blue flame with a clearly visible internal cone. Selection of the flame size depends on the position of the control knob of the burner which has been set:
large flame
small flame (“economical flame”)
burner switched off (gas supply is cut off)
Depending on requirements, the flame size can be set in a continuous manner.

WRONG         RIGHT

Caution!
Do not adjust the flame between the position off and the large flame position .

7 operating the multi-functional oven

The multi-functional oven can be heated up using the bottom and top heating elements, the grill of the ultra-fan heater.

SWITCHING ON

To switch the oven on, turn the oven function knob to the desired setting and the temperature knob to the right temperature. As soon as the oven has reached the set temperature, the thermostat light goes out.

SWITCHING OFF

To switch the oven off, turn both knobs back the off setting [ / 0 ].

Caution! When selecting any heating function, the oven will only be switched on after the temperature has been set by the temperature knob.

The oven has the following functions:

When selecting this function the inside of the oven is lit.
| Rapid preheating| The top element, the grillelement and the fan are on. Use to preheat the oven.
| Defrosting| Only the fan is on and all heating elements are off.
| Fan and supergrill| When the knob is turned to this position, the oven acitvates the supergrill and fan. This function allows the grilling process to be speeded up and an improvement in the taste of the dish. You should only use the grill with the oven door closed.
| Supergrill| With the function Supergrill a dish is being grilled while the top heating element is also on. This increases the temperature in the top part of the oven, which makes it suitable for browning and roasting of larger portions of food.
| Grill| Grilling of smaller portions of meat: steak, schnitzel, fish, toast and sausage (the thickness of the roasted dish should not exceed 2-3 cm and should be turned over during grilling).
| Bottom heating element| With this function only the bottom heating element is on. for baking of cakes from the bottom until done (e.g. moist cakes with fruit stuffing).
| Top and bottom heating element| With this function the oven is heated for conventional baking. This setting is ideal for baking cakes, meat, fish, bread and pizza on one level (it is necessary to preheat the oven and use dark coloured baking tins).
| Convection| The setting convection allows the oven to be heated up by a heating element with air circulation forced by a rotating fan fitted in the central part of the back wall of the oven chamber. Lower baking temperatures than with the conventional function can be used. Heating up the oven in this manner ensures uniform heat circulation around the dish being cooked in the oven.
| Top and bottom heating element with fan| This function is most suitable for baking cakes.
When this function is selected but the temperature knob is set to 0 only the fan will be on. This could be helpfull for cooling down a dish or the oven chamber.
| Turbo convection| The convection and the bottom element are on. This increases the temperature at the bottom of a dish. Ideal for moist cakes and pizza.
| ECO fan assisted heating| This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when preparing food. The oven lighting is off during use of this function.

Switching on the oven is indicated by two signal lights, a thermostat light and a control light.
The control light on the right next to the timer turned on, means the oven is working.
When the thermostat light, on the left of the timer, goes out, the oven has reached the set temperature. If a recipe recommends placing the dish in a pre- heated oven, this should not be done before the thermostat light goes out for the first time.
When baking, the thermostat light will temporarily come on and off (to maintain the temperature inside the oven).
The control light can also be on when the oven function knob is set to the function “Oven lighting”.

USE OF THE GRILL
The grilling process operates through infrared rays emitted onto the dish by the incandescent grill element.

• Set the ovenfunction knob to the grill setting to activate the grill.
• Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes (oven door closed).
• Insert a baking tray with a dish onto the appropriate cooking level.
• Close the door of the oven.

For grilling with the function grill and supergrill the temperature must be set to 250°C, but for the function fan and grill it must be set to a maximum of 190°C.
Caution! The grill should be used with the oven door shut.
When the grill is in use, accessible parts can become hot. It is recommended to keep children away from the oven.

8 baking tips and baking tables

BAKING

• Use the supplied baking tray or grid for preparing cakes and pastries.
• It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the grid; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time;.
• Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in undercooking the base of cakes;
• When using the convection function it is not necessary to initially heat up the oven chamber, for other types of heating you should warm up the oven chamber before the cake is inserted.
• Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake).
• After switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
• The temperatures for baking with the convection function are usually around 20 ­- 30 degrees lower than in normal baking (using top and bottom heaters).
• The baking parameters given in the baking table are approximate and can be corrected based on your own experience and cooking preferences.
• If information given in recipe books is significantly different from the values included in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.

ROASTING MEAT

• Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on the gas burners.
• Use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures.
• When roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven.
• It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water ­- do not pour cold water over the meat.

ECO FAN HEATER

• This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when preparing food. The oven lighting is off during use of this function.
• You cannot reduce the cooking time by setting a higher temperature; preheating the oven is not recommended.
• Do not change the temperature setting and do not open the oven door during cooking.

9 cleaning and maintenance

By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your cooker you can have a significant influence on the continuing fault free operation of your appliance. Do not clean the cooker with a steam cleaner or hydro blaster.
Before you start cleaning, the cooker must be switched off. Make sure all control knobs are set to the off position [ / 0 ].
Do not start cleaning until the cooker has completely cooled.

CLEANING THE GLASS COVER

Clean the glass cover with a glass-cleaning product. For easy cleaning of the cover and the cooking part of the stove, the cover can be removed.
Open the cover and hold it on both sides. Lift the cover straight upwards.
After cleaning replace the cover in reverse order.

CLEANING THE COOKING PART

Clean the cooker after each use to maintain it in good condition. Food residue can create stubborn stains if not removed directly after use. Use a mild cleaning detergent to clean the hob. Burner parts and the pan supports should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The dishwasher detergent can corrode the materials.

The pan supports, burners and burner caps are removable for easy cleaning of the cooking part.

• First clean the control knobs, burners, burner caps and pan supports.
• Check whether the thermocouple and ignition are clean. If necessary use a toothpick or needle.
• Clean the drip tray.
• Clean everything again with just a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
• Refit the burners. Make sure the openings are aligned for the thermocouple and the ignition.
• Refit the burner caps.
• Refit the pan supports. Place them carefully on the drip tray without sliding.
• Close the glass cover.

PERSISTENT STAINS

Persistent stains on the pan supports and burner caps can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic scouring sponge. Never use aggressive cleaning products or sharp objects to clean the hob.
Persistent stains on stainless steel are best removed with a special stainless steel cleaning product. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent damage to the protective layer.
The surface of the stainless steel drip tray can discolour slightly over time.

CLEANING THE OVEN

The oven should be cleaned after every use. When cleaning the oven the lighting should be switched on to enable you to see the surfaces better. The oven chamber should only be washed with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid.

The wire shelf supports can easily be removed for easier cleaning of the oven.

1. To remove them, pull the front catch.
2. Tilt the shelf support and remove from the rear catch.
3. To install the wire shelf support, first place it in the rear catch.
4. Now place the front of the shelf support in the front catch.

The oven can also be cleand with steam:

• Place a bowl with 250 ml (1 glass) of water on a baking tray on the first level from the bottom in the oven.
• Close the oven door.
• Set the temperature knob to 50°C and the oven function knob on the setting .
• Heat the oven chamber for approximately 30 minutes.
• Open the oven door, wipe the chamber inside with a cloth or sponge and wash the oven chamber using warm water with washing-up liquid.
• After cleaning the oven chamber wipe it dry.
• Never use aggressive cleaning products or sharp objects to clean the oven door.

ACCESSORIES

Clean the accessories, such as the baking tray and the grid with warm water and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before reusing.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

In order to avoid the possibility of an electric shock ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged before replacing the bulb.

• Unscrew and wash the lamp cover and then wipe it.
• Replace the light bulb with a new equal bulb (25 W, 230V, E14 connection and must be resistant to high temperatures – upto 300°C).
• Refit the lamp cover.
• Plug the appliance in.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE OVEN DOOR

The oven door can be removed in order to obtain easier access to the oven chamber for cleaning.

• Open the oven door and tilt the safety catch part of the hinge upwards (fig. A). Close the door a little and lift it up and pull it out towards you in order to remove the door.
• To replace the door, reverse the process. When fitting, ensure that the notch of the hinge is correctly placed on the protrusion of the hinge holder. After the door is fitted to the oven, the safety catch should be carefully lowered down again. If the safety catch is not set it may cause damage to the hinge when closing the door.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE INNER GLASS PANEL

To clean the oven door properly, the inner glass panel can be removed.

• Using a flat screwdriver unhook the upper door slat, prying it gently on the sides (fig. B).
• Pull the upper door slat loose (fig.B, C).
• Carefully pull the inner glass panel from its seat (in the lower section of the door) fig. D.
• Clean the panel with warm water with some washing-up liquid added.
• Carry out the same in the reverse order to reassemble the inner glass panel. Its smooth surface must be pointed upwards.
  Important! Do not force the upper strip in on both sides of the door at the same time. In order to correctly fit the top door strip, first put the left end of the strip on the door and then press the right end in until you hear a “click”. Then press the left end in until you hear a “click”.
