  2. Electrical Connection: Must be performed by a qualified electrician. Connect to a dedicated circuit with correct fuse rating (refer to specifications).
  3. Stability Check: Ensure all feet are adjusted so the cooker is level and does not rock.
  4. Remove Protections: Take off any transit bolts, protective films, or packaging materials from the hob and oven interior.

WARNING! This appliance is heavy; use two people to move it. Do not lift by the door or control panel. Ensure the power supply is disconnected during installation.

First-Time Setup

Before first use, clean the appliance and perform an initial heat cycle to burn off any manufacturing residues.

  1. Initial Cleaning: Wipe the hob, oven interior, and door with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
  2. First Oven Use: Set the oven to the maximum temperature (e.g., 250°C) using the conventional heating function. Run empty for 60 minutes with good ventilation.
  3. Setting the Clock: Turn the timer knob to set the current time.
  4. Hob Test: Briefly turn on each hotplate to ensure they heat up correctly.

CAUTION! Smoke or odor during the first heating is normal. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.

Controls and Settings

Control Panel: Located at the front of the cooker. Hob Controls: Four individual knobs (0-6 or 0-9 settings) for each hotplate. Oven Controls: Two knobs for function selection and temperature setting (50-250°C). Timer Knob: For setting cooking duration and automatic start/stop.

Oven Functions: - **Fan Symbol:** For even, faster cooking at lower temperatures. - **Conventional Symbol:** Top and bottom heating elements. - **Grill Symbol:** Top heating element for grilling. - **Fan Grill Symbol:** Grill with fan for more even browning. - **Defrost Symbol:** Fan operates without heat to defrost food. - **Bottom Heat Symbol:** For baking pizzas or finishing dishes with a crisp base.

Using the Hob

Select the appropriate hotplate size for your pan. The pan base should match the hotplate diameter.

  1. Turn the corresponding knob to the desired heat level (1=Low, 6 or 9=High).
  2. The power indicator light for that zone will illuminate.
  3. Use flat-bottomed pans for best contact and energy efficiency.
  4. You can use the residual heat after switching off. The 'H' indicator will remain lit until the plate cools.
  5. To switch off, turn the knob to the '0' position.

Tip: For energy saving, bring liquids to a boil on a high setting, then reduce to a simmer.

Using the Oven

  1. Preheating: Select the desired function and temperature. Allow 10-15 minutes for the oven to reach temperature.
  2. Placing Food: Use the provided wire shelves and baking tray. For best air circulation, do not cover oven racks with foil.
  3. Grilling: Use the grill function. Place food on the wire shelf in the upper or middle position. Keep the oven door slightly ajar (if specified in manual) during grilling.
  4. Using the Timer: Set the desired cooking duration. The oven will beep and switch off automatically.
