1.3.3 PILOT LIGHTS Orange pilot light (item 1 in fig. 3) indicates the switching on of any of the cookers heating components, i.e. a cooking zone on the hob or a heating element in the oven.

Red pilot light (item 2 in fig. 3) indicates that the temperature control is in operation. The light comes on after setting the oven to a desired temperature. When the oven reaches that temperature, the light goes out. When the temperature decreases below the set value, it come on again.

1.4 IMPORTANT TIPS

1. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching hot elements inside the oven. Special attention should be paid to children!

2. The use of cooking and baking appliances results in the production of heat and moist in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the room is well ventilated. Keep natural air vents open or install a mechanical ventilation device (a cooker hood with mechanical extraction). Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, eg. by opening a window or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing mechanical ventilation, if possible.

3. Ensure that the cables of other household appliances used near the working cooker are far from its hot elements. Ensure also that the cables are not trapped by the hot oven door.

4. As overheated fats and oils may catch fire, dishes prepared with their use, e.g. chips, should not be left unattended in the process of cooking.

5. Always stand back when opening the oven door to allow the heat to disperse. 6. In the event of technical failure, disconnect the cooker from the mains supply. 7. Always use protective gloves when removing items from the ceramic hob and baking tins from the

oven. 8. Never store flammable and heat-sensitive objects in the oven and kitchenware drawer.

INSTALLATION

5

9. Do not overload the open oven door; do not sit or lean on it. 10. Never use the cooker as a room heater.

WARNING! 1. If the ceramic hob surface is cracked, the cooker must be switched off to avoid an electric

shock. 2. Cooking zones are still hot for some time after being switched off, which is shown by the

cooking zone indicator.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 POSITIONING THE COOKER

After unpacking, the cooker should be positioned in a manner ensuring easy access to the ceramic hob and oven. Placing the cooker on a platform is not recommended.

The kitchen should be dry and have efficient ventilation sys- tem.

Remove all advertising stickers from the cooker. Clean all the parts thoroughly to remove all remnants of glue.

When positioning the cooker between kitchen cabinets, a dis- tance of minimum 20mm should be left between the cookers side walls and adjacent kitchen cabinet walls (fig. 4).

There should be an open space above the appliance to allow kitchen odours to disperse. If a cooker hood is installed, the distance between the ceramic hob and the hood should not be shorter than 650mm.

The main switch or the wall socket to which the cooker will be connected must be easily accessible to the user.

Fig. 4 The cooker is equipped with adjustable feet designed for levelling in the event of an uneven floor and for adjusting the upper edge of the cooker to furniture level. The levelling should be carried out by means of one of the methods presented below:

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

Levelling the cooker: 1. Remove the kitchenware drawer from the cooker (fig. 5). Then, through the hole left after the removal

of the drawer, place a screwdriver in a foots groove and turn it to the required position. 2. Tilt the cooker (fig. 6) to gain access to the feet from the bottom. You can adjust it manually or by

means of 8mm Allen key. Put the key in the foots hexagonal hole and turn it to the required position.

2.2 CONNECTING THE COOKER TO THE MAINS SUPPLY

The cooker must be properly connected to the mains supply by a qualified electri- cian. Do not modify or change the cookers electrical system in any way.

CERAMIC HOB

6

The connection panel is installed on the rear side of the cooker and has six terminals, including three live terminals marked with symbols L1 L2 L3 and two neutral terminals marked with letters N-N (fig. 7), which should be shorted. Three clamps are provided with the connection panel. The earth

terminal is marked with a symbol . It is possible to connect the cooker to the single-phase mains but the system to which the cooker is

to be connected should be adjusted to the current of 42A. Select an appropriate connector depending on the type of connection (one- or three-phase) and the

cookers power rating. The electric system supplying the cooker should be equipped with double pole switch to allow the

user to cut off electricity in an emergency situation. The minimum contact separation between the poles should be 3mm.

Fig. 7 Fig. 8

Connect the AC power cable 1 (Fig. 8) to the terminal strip 2 in accordance with the data plate (fig.7). Place the lead in clamping ring 4. The gaps under openings 6 give access to the screws fastening cable 1 in clamping ring 4.

Once the cooker has been connected, the terminal strip should be secured. To do so unbolt screws 5 which fasten the plate 3 on the left side of the cooker 7 turn the plate 3

through an angle of 1800 on its vertical axis and then put it in openings 6 with the catches 8, press to the cooker 7 and screw down with screws 5.

3 PREPARATION FOR USE

1. Wipe the enamel and glass surfaces with a soft damp cloth. 2. Clean the oven accessories with a hot solution of dish-washing liquid. 3. Before the first use of the cooker, individual cooking zones should be heated for ca. 3 minutes. In this

case, exceptionally, do not put any pans on them. 4. Switch on the oven for ca. 1 hour and set the highest temperature. The emerging smoke and smell

will be slight, if proper care is taken to ventilate the room correctly, e.g. by opening the windows. Allow the oven to cool down and then clean and dry it.

4 CERAMIC HOB 4.1 GENERAL RULES OF USING THE CERAMIC HOB

1. Be careful not to drop hard objects on the hob as it may crack. 2. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the hob with sharp edges of pans or other objects. 3. Pans should be placed centrally on the graphically marked cooking zone. Pans should not be

dragged but gently lifted and moved in order not to scratch the hob. 4. A cooking zone may be switched on only after placing a pan with food on it. Do not switch on the

zone, if an empty or distorted pan is placed on it, as it may result in damaging the zone. 5. Never prepare food in aluminium foil or in plastic containers on the hob. Do not place any plastic

objects on the hob.

4.2 OPERATING COOKING ZONES

Before turning on a cooking zone, make sure the knob you intend to operate corresponds to the zone you are going to use. Fig. 9 shows which knobs correspond to which cooking zones. Fig. 9 Cooking zone knob The knob allows for power control with 6 grades and it can be turned in both directions from 0 3600 (fig. 10). The greatest power is delivered by turning the hob clockwise and setting in on the position 1. In order to heat or boil a dish quickly we recommend to set the hob on position 6, and then to reduce power.

Fig. 10

4.2.1 COOKING ZONE INDICATOR

The zones heating status is shown by the indicator. The indicator comprises four lights corresponding to the individual cooking zones.

When a zones temperature exceeds 500C, the indicator light corre- sponding to that zone comes on.

When a cooking zone is switched off, its colour changes. However, this does not mean that the zone is cooling down so fast. The zone remains hot and the indicator light corresponding to it is still on.

The indicator lights may burn out and then there will be no indica- tion that the zone is hot. In such a case an authorised service cen- tre should be called.

Fig. 11

4.3 CHOICE OF UTENSILS The right choice of utensils is a fundamental condition for correct use of a ceramic hob. Utensils should be always clean and dry as they will then conduct and retain heat well. Any cookware should have a thick, flat and smooth base of the same diameter or slightly bigger than

the cooking zone. If the cookware diameter is smaller than the cooking zone, a lot of heat will be wasted.

An uneven base of a pan extends cooking time and increases the consumption of electricity. During cooking, well-fitting pan lids should be used. Lids should not project beyond the pans rim so

that nothing drips on the hob.

Correct pan Low power consumption Good heat transfer

5.4 SWITCHING THE OVEN ON AND OFF

Switching the oven on 1. Turn the function control knob to a desired setting of oven heating, 2. Turn the temperature control knob to a desired temperature setting, 3. you can set the cooking time with the timer knob.

Switching the oven off Set the function control knob and the temperature control knob to the zero position.

5.5 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SWITCHING ON THE OVEN

Selecting any function of the oven causes the turning on of: the oven light, the orange pilot light, fan (if the function has been selected).

After the temperature is set, the following elements turn on: oven heating elements (depending on the selected function), the red pilot light.

If culinary recipes recommend putting a dish into the preheated oven, it should be done after the red pilot light goes off for the first time.

5.6 HEATING OPTIONS

Heating with the bottom heating element

The bottom heating element, located under the oven floor, heats the oven. With this function you can extra bake the base of a cake (e.g. when baking fruit cake). It is recommended for the last 10-15 minutes of the baking process.

Heating with the upper and bottom heating elements

Both heating elements are on and heat the inside of the oven. Dishes should be placed on a single, preferably middle level of the oven. This kind of heating is ideal for preparing pastry, meat, fish, bread and pizza.

Heating with the upper heating element

The upper heating element heats the oven. With this function you can brown the top of the cooked dish. This method may be also used to cook such dishes as toasts, vegetables, casseroles etc.

Conventional grilling

Small joints of meat (steaks, sausages), kebabs, fish, toasts and toasted sandwiches should be prepared for conventional grilling. The grilled piece of food should not be thicker than 2 - 3 cm. Before grilling brush over meat and fish slightly with fat. The grilling time should be approximately 8 - 10 minutes per each centimetre of the foods thickness.

NOTE ! 1. During grilling do not leave the appliance unattended. Accessible cooker sur-

faces can be hot. Keep children away! 2. Dishes should not be placed on the top [5] runner guide, directly under the grill

heating element.

Using the grill: preheat the oven, setting the maximum temperature,

THE OVEN

place the dish in the oven on a selected level, if the dish is placed directly on the wire shelf, insert a drip tray in a lower runner guide, close the oven door,

set the function control knob to , set the desired temperature and, if necessary, grilling time, when a specified period of time has passed, the grilled dish should be turned to the other

side.

After finishing the grilling process switch the oven off

Grilling with the fan on Grill heating element and fan operate at the same time. This function is ideal for grilling large

joints of meat. In this case preheating of the oven is not necessary. The time of grilling is ca. 20% shorter

than in the case of conventional grilling. When using this function place a fish on the wire shelf or roasting tray on one of the top

guides. If the dish is to be grilled on the wire shelf, place a drip tray under it to collect the dripping fat. You can use this function to grill e.g. meat roll, neck of pork, loin of pork, poultry etc.

Traditional heat with fan The heat comes from both the top and the bottom of the oven and the fan distributes the tem- perature evenly. You can cook different dishes on different levels at the same time without mixing smells or flavours.

Bottom heat with fan The fan uniformly distributes the temperature generated at the bottom of the oven.

Defrosting With the fan turned on, the air is distributed evenly around the dish, thereby ensuring regular de-

frosting of frozen foods. This function is suitable for all types of frozen foods.

5.7 GENERAL COOKERY TIPS

For baking cakes you may use traditional baking tins or Teflon-coated, ceramic, glass and aluminium foil ones (fig. 18). Baking tins are the most universal ones due to their versatility of shapes and possibilities of use. Before the first use, a new baking tin should be heated up in a strongly heated oven.

When temperature in the oven reaches a desired value, the red pilot light goes out. If, apart from the baking tray supplied with the cooker, other baking tins are used, they should be

placed centrally on the wire shelf. When selecting the baking temperature follow the rules stated below:

Thinly rolled dough higher power, shorter baking time, Thick layer of dough and runny dough lower power, longer baking time.

Fill the tins 2/3 full of dough, leaving enough space for it to rise. For roasting meat you may use ceramic, glass, steel, enamelled and iron utensils with heat-resistant

handles (fig. 19). Oven preheating guidelines should be closely followed, as the requirements are different for different

types of cakes.

During baking, the dough should be evenly heated. This condition is fulfilled when the function

or is selected.

THE OVEN

12

Fig. 18 Fig. 19

If the top of the cake is too dark, next time place the baking tin at a lower level, select lower temperature and bake the cake a little longer.

If the bottom of the cake is too dark, next time place it higher and select lower temperature. During baking avoid too high temperatures, otherwise the cake will not rise and it may be doughy. If

you keep cake in a heated oven for too long, it may get burnt and dry up. When selecting the baking time and temperature take into account the weight and consistency of the

pastry. Utensils with food may be placed at any level of the oven; we recommend level two. However, on the

basis of his/her observations and experience, the user should select the most optimum level for various dishes.

When baking for the first time, start with the medium values of temperatures stated in recipes. If it is necessary, next time set higher temperature. Lower temperature allows the baked dish to be more evenly browned.

In order to check if the baked dish is ready, put a small wooden stick in it a few minutes before switching off the oven. If the pastry does not stay stuck on the stick the dish is ready. After baking, leave the cake in the oven for ca. 5 more minutes.

When using the oven, follow the guidelines stated below: nie trzyma w piekarniku niepotrzebnego wyposaenia, do not keep unnecessary accessories in the oven, put the baking and casserole tins and utensils for roasting meat on the wire shelf and not on

the tray, in the centre of the oven (fig. 20, 21), when selecting baking or roasting parameters, factor in the type of utensil; depending on the

type of material, thickness of walls and colour, utensils conduct heat differently.

Fig. 20 Fig. 21 In the tables below you may find estimated cooking temperatures and times for various dishes. In reality, there may be some differences which the user should correct on the basis of experience. The best solution is to carry out several tests for each dish and then write down the optimum time and temperature.

6 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE ! Before cleaning the cooker disconnect the cooker from the mains supply and wait until it cools down.

6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Clean the cooker regularly to ensure its proper technical condition and aesthetic appearance. When cleaning the cooker do not use harsh abrasives, wire pads, powders, caustic cleaners and

sharp objects. Clean the stainless steel elements, knobs and control panel with soft cleaners not containing

abrasives, as they might damage information imprints. Put baking trays and tins as well as trays and other utensils for roasting meat in warm water with

dish-washing liquid for some time, then thoroughly clean them and dry them carefully. Ensure that the oven seal is clean.

6.2 CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB Clean the ceramic hob regularly after each use as even the smallest spillage will burn during the next

use. Clean the hob with special cleaning agents designed for that purpose. Do not use scouring pads,

powders or creams. Remove slight spillage with damp cloth or sponge (fig. 22a) wrung out in warm water with soft

cleaning agent, then dry. Remove strong spillage with special cleaning agents designed for ceramic hobs. To remove remnants of food from the ceramic hob use a wooden spatula or a special tool (fig. 22b),

taking care not to scratch the glass surface of the hob NOTE ! Do not use oven cleaning agents to clean the ceramic hob as they are very aggres- sive and may cause a permanent damage of the hob surface.

a) b)

Fig. 22

Materials that can melt, such as aluminium foil or plastics, should be kept away from the hot cooking zones. However, if such materials happen to melt on the hob, they should be removed from the hob immediately (when they are still hot). Act similarly if any liquid including a lot of sugar spills; on the hot hob surface sugar melts very quickly, which may result in permanent stains. Discolouring of the hob does not affect its proper functioning.

After cleaning, the hob may be covered with a protection agent, e.g. CERA FIX. Utensils used for cooking on the ceramic hob should always be clean and dry. Pay special attention

to the pans bases as food remnants sticking to it may get burnt during the next use of the hob.

6.3 OVEN CLEANING The oven interior is covered with ceramic enamel. Cooker is equipped with side shields covered with

catalytic enamel which has self-cleaning properties.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

15

During normal usage the interior of the oven becomes heated to high temperatures, in this way the catalytic enamel can easier absorb emitted vapours.

Periodically, particularly after roasting very fat meals it is recommended to make a self-cleaning cy- cle. Switch the oven on for an hour and select the maximum temperature (2500C). During that time the oven door should be closed. During self-cleaning process dirt from the catalytic shields will oxi- dize and evaporate.

After some time the catalytic shields lose their self-cleaning features, and their surface becomes shining, then you should exchange them.

To facilitate cleaning of the oven enamel elements you can remove the oven door. CAUTION ! 1. Before cleaning you should wait until oven cools down. Hot heaters may cause

burns. 2. Cleaning the oven with the use of appliances for steam generation under pres-

sure is not allowed. 3. It is best to clean the bottom of the oven after each use, not to allow the remains

of food and spots of oil to roast again.

6.3.1 DISASSEMBLY OF THE OVEN DOOR

Open the door entirely, Lock hinges on both sides of the door by placing the clamping ring 1 on the catch 2 of the hinge bow

3 (fig. 23), Next grasp the door with both hands, turn it in the closing direction through an angle of 450 and take

out the hinges.

Fig. 23 Taking out the oven door

CAUTION ! 1. The hinge bow is tense with a big strength, therefore while taking out the door a

special care must be taken not to cut ones own fingers. 2. During cleaning the upper wall of the oven you should pay attention to electric

heaters, temperature sensor and lamp of the oven illumination; do not change position of sensor setting.

3. Do not pour water onto the bottom of oven otherwise it may trickle through some possible leakage and get on the lower heater.

6.3.2 DISASSEMBLY OF SIDE CATALYTICAL SHIELDS To disassembly the side catalytical shields you must first disassembly the guides. Removing the guides:

press down the top bar of guides 1 in order to release catch 2 from hole 3, tilt guides 1 toward the inside of the oven and release the lower bars from holes 4,

TROUBLESHOOTING

When the appliance reaches the end of its service life, you should not dispose of it with the general domestic waste.

It can be taken free of charge to the local administrations' specific selective collection centres, or to distributors who provide this service.

Separating a domestic appliance before disposing of it means you will prevent possible negative consequences for the environment and health which may be given rise to by incorrect disposal, and it means the materials making it up can be treated and recycled, obtaining important savings on energy and resources.

To remind you that you must collaborate with a selective collection scheme, there is a symbol on the product warning you not to dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.

For further information, contact your local authority or the shop where you bought the product.
