During use of the appliance some condensation could appear on the control panel. This will not affect functioning of the appliance.
STORING ITEMS IN OR ON THE APPLIANCE:
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the cooking range or on the back guard of the cooking range. Children climbing onto the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not store any flammable materials or substances in the oven or near the cooking zones or burners of the appliance.
BOTTOM STORAGE DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food, or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.
Use care when opening the bottom storage drawer.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never leave the cooking zones unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in a fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Only certain glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware or utensils are suitable for use on the cooktop without breaking due to the sudden temperature change.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooking zones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the cookware handles should be positioned so that they are turned inward and that they do not extend over adjacent cooking zones.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Be careful when opening the oven door. Let the hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst, which may result in injury.
Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones, or any type of foil or liner on the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke, or fire.
Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat, resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If you have to move a rack while the oven is hot, do not let the potholder come into contact with any hot heating element in the oven.
Never broil with the door open.
Ensure that aluminum foil and meat probes are prevented from contacting the heating elements (including sheathed type surface elements).
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING BURNERS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop, which in turn results in a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Be careful when cleaning the cooktop. If you use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DURING AND AFTER USE DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING ZONES OR AREAS NEAR THEM– Cooking zones may be hot even when they are dark in color. Areas near cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with the cooking zones or areas near them, until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• Do not place baking dishes, sheets, or trays directly onto the bottom of the oven cavity.
• Always place the baking dishes in the center of the wire rack.
• When cooking larger cuts of meat or pastry with higher water content, a lot of steam will be generated inside the oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomen on that will not affect the appliance’s operation. After the cooking process, wipe the door and the door glass dry.
• Place the deep baking tray one level lower to function as a drip tray when using the wire rack.
• When making cakes or pastry, use light-colored baking dishes or molds (biscuits, cupcakes).
• Use dark-colored baking dishes for pies and tarts.

Baking tips
Preheating
When you start, the appliance will be in preheating phase until the set temperature is reached. Some of the functions have automatically set Fast Preheat. This functioning can be changed in settings.
If you are preheating the oven with the fast preheat function, do not place the food into the oven until the oven is fully heated. When the appliance reaches set temperature, an audible signal is played, PREHEATING sign will turn OFF and on the upper display only set temperature will be shown. You can see the temperature rise on the user interface. Rapid preheating is recommended for delicate cuts of meat (sirloin), as well as for yeast-leavened and sponge dough.
INFORMATION!
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, we recommend cooking several dishes in succession, or making several dishes simultaneously.
INFORMATION!
Some baking functions use low temperatures and preheating is not necessary. In this case PREHEATING will not be shown on display.
Multi-level baking

• Use the Convection Bake system for baking on multiple levels simultaneously.
• Recommended baking levels: 3 and 5
• Arrange smaller baking dishes as indicated in the figure. This way, you will allow adequate room for air circulation around the food, which in turn allows correct baking.
