USE

Using the oven

• Remove all accessories from inside the oven and clean them with warm soapy water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning materials.
• Set the oven at its highest setting for one hour with top and bottom heat (see ‘Operating the oven’). This will remove any protective grease used during manufacture.
• When heating the oven for the first time you will notice a ‘new-oven smell’. Don’t worry, this is normal. If necessary, switch on the cooker hood.
• After letting it cool down, clean the oven with warm water.
• Only preheat the oven if it is required in the recipe or the tables of this manual.
• Warning! Place the oven rack in the rail and slide it to the back of the oven.

Energy-conscious use of the oven

• Open the oven door as little as possible.
• Prepare dishes with the same cooking temperature (e.g. an apple pie and an oven dish) on the same grid at the same time, or above each other using the hot air function. You can also let meat stew at the same time.
• Prepare a number of dishes consecutively, for example, an oven meal after a cake. Often, the preparation time of the second dish will be 10 minutes shorter because the oven is still hot.
• Because the oven is insulated, the residual heat from the oven will continue to cook dishes with longer cooking times (from 1 hour). Turn the oven off 10 minutes earlier than indicated, but leave the door closed.
• Preheating is generally not necessary, with the exception of dishes with cooking times of less than 30 minutes, or when indicated by a recipe.
• Remove everything you don’t need for the dish from the oven.
• Turn the oven off before taking out the cooked dish.

Ovenware

• In principle, you can use any type of heat-resistant ovenware.
• Do not rinse glass ovenware with cold water immediately after use. The sudden temperature difference can cause the glass to crack.
• Use black or dark baking tins. These conduct heat better and allow the food to cook more evenly.

Do not cover the oven floor

• Covering the oven bottom with, for example, aluminum foil or a baking tray can lead to overheating and damage to the enamel.
• It is possible to prevent springforms from leaking onto the oven floor by folding a container out of aluminum foil and placing it on the grid under the form or by laying baking paper under it.

Roasting meat

• Large pieces of meat, from 1 kg, are the most suitable. The meat will get a regularly shaped, crispy crust, with virtually no weight loss.
• Rub the meat with salt and spices fifteen minutes beforehand. Use 80 to 100 g of butter or fat (or a mixture of the two) per 500 g of meat for roasting.

Cooking times

• Flat, thin pieces require approximately 5 minutes less cooking time than thick or rolled pieces of meat. When cooking larger pieces of meat, cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer per 500 grams extra.
• Put the meat in a roasting pan and douse in hot butter or fat. Place the meat in the roasting pan with the fatty side facing up. Make sure to bake meat without a fatty side every 15 minutes. Meat with a fatty side should be basted every 30 minutes.
• If the gravy is too dark, add a few spoonfuls of water now and then during roasting.
• Cover the meat loosely with foil and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Oven runners

• The oven walls are fitted with runners so that the oven grid or baking sheet can be placed at different levels. For the correct level, consult a baking guide or food packaging instructions.

Oven storage space

• Your appliance has a storage space to store accessories like trays, shelves, grids, small pots, and pans.
• Warning! The inside surface of the storage space may become hot during use.
• Do not store any food, plastic, or inflammable materials in the storage space.

Oven functions table

• Your appliance is accompanied by a range of oven functions, depending on the model. Consult the table to select the preferred function. Also, consult the instructions for preparation on the dish packaging.

Using the induction hob

• Grains of sand or other substances may cause scratches and spots that cannot be removed. Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always lift pans to move them. Do not use the hob as a worktop.

Pans for induction cooking

• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
• a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
• a flat base.
• The best pans are those with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
• Be careful with thin enameled sheet steel pans:
• the enamel may come loose from the steel at high settings if the pan is too dry;
• high power level settings may cause the base of the pan to warp.
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot.
• This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
• Never let an empty pan stand on a cooking zone that is switched on. While the hotplate is protected and will switch itself off, the pan will be extremely hot. The pan could be damaged.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
• Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This avoids the possibility of spilled food getting into the glowing hot cooking zone. Burnt-on spilled food is difficult to remove.
• Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
• Not all pans are suitable for induction cooking. It is therefore important to know whether the pan is made of the correct material. You can use a magnet to check whether your pan is suitable. The pan is suitable if its base is attracted by the magnet.

• Minimum pan diameter
  • The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm.
  • The best results are achieved by using a pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone.
  • If a pan is too small the zone will not work.
• Pressure cookers
  • Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers.
  • The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure quickly.
  • As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking process stops immediately.

Induction sounds

• Ticking sound
  • A soft ticking sound can occur while cooking.
• Pan makes sounds
  • The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the pan.
  • This is normal for certain pans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.
• Ventilator makes sounds
  • In order to increase the lifespan of electronic components, the appliance is fitted with a ventilator.
  • If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound.
  • The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.

Cooking-time limiter

• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows.

MAINTENANCE

General

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before carrying out any repairs or cleaning. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch off the fuses, or set the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.
• Clean the appliance after use. This will prevent food debris from becoming burnt onto the appliance and causing stubborn stains.

Cleaning the cooker

• Clean the appliance daily with water and a detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
• Remove stubborn stains on enamel with a non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge.
• Never use scouring powders, aggressive cleaning agents, or green scours.
• Remove stubborn stains with a special cleaner for stainless steel. Always clean in the direction of the structure of the steel to avoid shiny spots. Clean afterward with a polish or maintenance product for stainless steel.
• Do not drop hot burner caps in cold water. Because of the strong cooling, they might be damaged. This damage is not covered by the guarantee.
• Damage to the screen or pan support is not covered by the guarantee.

Cleaning the oven

• The inside of the oven door, the base of the oven, the baking sheet, and the roasting tin are all completely enameled. These are best cleaned with hot, soapy water or a little liquid detergent; rinse well with clean water.
• Clean the outside of the oven with warm soapy water or liquid soap. Rinse with clean water.
• Clean the glass in the oven door with soapy water or with a glass-cleaning product.

Cleaning the induction hob

• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you clean the hob immediately after use.
• For daily cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent is best.
• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent, washing-up liquid, for example.
• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.
• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special products are available for this.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic or sugar can also be removed with a glass scraper.
• Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and limescale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
