Prior first use

Glass ceramic hob


Wipe the glass ceramic surface with moist cloth and some dishwashing detergent for manual wash. Never use any aggressive detergents, like powder detergents, rough dish sponges producing scratches, rust removers or stain removers.

Hotplates


Turn the hotplates on at maximum power for 3 to 5 minutes without any dishes, in order to smoke them out. This procedure aims to reinforce the protective film upon the hotplate surface.

Oven

Take all the accessories out of the oven and clean it with warm water and your usual mild detergent. Never use aggressive cleaners as they might cause scratches!

During the first heating the oven might produce a somewhat unpleasant smell of a new product. This is normal, just ventilate the place thoroughly!

Program timer


Set the correct time of day as described in the separately supplied instructions for the use of program timers. Setting the time is imperative for the correct functioning of the appliance, since the operation of oven is possible only after such adjustment had been made.

Alarm timer


Maximum setting time is 60 minutes. After the expiry of set time alarm sound is heard, lasting for about five seconds.

Timer is set by turning the knob in clockwise direction, and the correct setting is obtained by turning it anti-clockwise.

Energy saving tips

The bottom of the dish is too thin and becomes crooked in the process of heating up. The consequence is excessive consumption of energy and uneven distribution of heat.

The dish is too big or too small.

Temperature resistant glass, protruding over the edge, might break. Dish with too small bottom diameter excessively consumes energy and is not economical.

Adequate size of cooking dishes.

Below are some important suggestions how to use your new cooker and its accessories in order to save as much energy as possible.

incorrect incorrect correct

Stick to the general rule:

The better the quality of the dish, the lower consumption of energy!


Tips for purchasing crockery

• Good quality dishes feature thick flat bottom. Uneven bottom of the dish causes increased consumption of energy and extended cooking time.

• When purchasing new crockery carefully check if the diameter quoted refers to the upper rim or the bottom. The latter is usually always smaller.

• Use of pressure cookers additionally saves energy, since food is prepared in a closed dish and under pressure.

Furthermore, shorter cooking time preserves the vitamin contents.

• When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or thick bottom dishes for preparing food on the glass ceramic hob, the period of reaching the boiling point may be prolonged for certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently, if you need to boil considerable amount of liquid, it is recommended to use the dark, flat bottom pot.

Tips for effective use of crockery

• The best transfer of energy is obtained if the bottom diameter of the dish is identical to the hotplate diameter, and if the dish is placed exactly in the center of the hotplate.

• If the diameter differs, it is always better to have bigger crockery than smaller. The loss of energy is greater, and stains may be burned to the hotplate.

• Use pot lids and cover your cookware whenever possible.

• The dish size should always suit the quantity of food.

Excessively big pot wastes too much energy.

• Reduce power regulation towards the end of cooking, and switch the hotplate off before cooking is complete, to be able to use the remaining heat.

• Always provide adequate quantity of water when cooking in the pressure cooker. Lack of water may cause damage to the dish and to the hotplate.

• Temperature resistant glass cookware is suitable for use with the hotplate if the bottom diameter of such dish is adequate to the diameter of the hotplate. Dish protruding over the hotplate edge may break as a consequence of created thermal tension.

• When using special cookware, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips for the use of oven

• If possible use dark, silicone coated or enamel baking pans, because of their excellent thermal conductivity.

• Preheating of oven is necessary only if recommended by the recipe or if written in the chart below.

• Heating of empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Save it by baking several pizzas or cakes consecutively, one after the another, while the oven is still warm from the previous one.Towards the end of baking, the oven may be switched off about 10 minutes before the pletion, thereby making use of the remaining.

Hotplates

Important warnings!

• Never switch on empty hotplates, without dishes, and never use hotplates for heating the ambience!

• Keep the hotplates and the cookware clean, because dirt may affect your cooking results.

• Hot oil or grease is highly inflammable, so the preparation of food with large quantities of oil (chips) should be under constant surveillance at all times.

Special warning for glass ceramic hob


• Glass ceramic hob is tough, but not unbreakable. Should any sharp or heavy objects fall upon the surface, they may cause damage.

• If you discover any visible cracks upon the glass ceramic surface, you may not use the hob anymore, because there is an electric shock hazard. In such cases switch all the hotplates off and unscrew the fuse or switch off the main switch to disconnect the appliance completely from the mains. Call the nearest service center.

• Sand particles or rough wrought iron pot bottoms may also produce scratches upon the glass ceramic surface.

• In case the glass ceramic hob is used as a worktop it may be damaged or scratched. Never heat up the food in aluminum foil or plastic dishes, otherwise you may damage the hob or cause melting of material and fire.

• Bottom of the dish must correspond to the diameter of the hotplate.

• Red hotplate may sometimes glow over the marked rim, depending upon the observing angle.

Special warning for hotplates


• Never place wet dishes or steaming lids upon the hotplate.

Humidity may damage hotplates.

• Never cool down hot dishes upon idle hotplates, because condensation below the dish may cause corrosion of the hotplate.

Operation of hotplates

Hotplates are controlled by knobs, located at the control panel.

Symbols adjacent to the knobs indicate their location.

Heating power is regulated in steps.

It is recommended to switch the hotplate off 3-5 minutes before the completion of cooking, and use the remaining accumulated heat.

Following are the recommended power regulations.

Express hotplate (certain models only) is more powerful than the regular one, which means that it heats up much quicker.

It is marked by the red dot in the middle, which may disappear with time due to repeated cleaning.

Oven

Important warnings!

• Never put aluminum foil to the bottom of the oven, and do not place any crockery upon it. The oven enamel may be damaged by the excessive heat.

• Fruit juice, dripping from the baking pan, may produce stains upon the enamel, which are very hard to remove.

Operation

Oven is controlled by the function knob and the temperature selection knob.

Temperature selection knob

Modes of operation

Oven may be used in the following modes.

Oven illumination

Some models have installed two lamps for oven lighting; one at the top of rear wall and the second one at the middle of righthanded side wall.

Oven illumination may be switched on independently, without any other function.

This may come handy during the cleaning, or when switched off and using the remaining oven heat.

During all other oven functions the illumination is automatically switched on with the selection of a particular function.

Some models have installed two lamps for oven lighting; one at the top of rear wall and the second one at the middle of righthanded side wall .

Applying upper and lower heater

Heaters from the upper and the lower side uniformly heat the exposed food.

Baking and roasting is possible only at single level.

Function knob


Grill

Heat comes directly from the infrared heater, located at the oven ceiling. It is especially suitable for preparing steaks, sausages, T-bones, pork chops, etc.

Applying lower heater/ Aqua Clean

Heat is applied only by the bottom side of the oven. Use this option for browning the bottom side of the food (baking heavy, moist pastry with fruit dressing). The temperature selection button in such cases may be selected as required.

Lower heater may also be used for the cleaning of oven. You will find details in the section Cleaning and maintenance.

Grill with ventilator

Infrared heater and ventilator operate simultaneously. This mode is appropriate for roasting and grill of larger chunks of meat or poultry at one level. It may also be used to obtain crisp skin on your roast.

Oven guide levels

Baking pans and accessories (oven grid, grease receptacle, baking tray, etc.) may be inserted into the oven in 5 guiding levels.

Appropriate levels are indicated in the tables that follow.

Always count levels from the bottom upwards!

Guides may be of three types, depending on the model.

Telescopic guides are inserted in the 2 nd

, 3 rd

and 5 th

level. In case of wire guides, the grid and the baking pans must always be inserted in the guide slides.

Lower heater and ventilator

Both the lower heater and hot air ventilator are in operation.

This mode is most appropriate for baking pizza. It may also be used for baking moist or heavy cake at two levels, fruit cake or cheese souffle.

Ventilator with hot air

The fan at the rear forces the air around the roast or pastry. It is suitable for roasting and baking at more than one level.

Oven accessories

(differ according to different models)

Oven grid shelf for placing pans and trays, or for food to be prepared using the grill.

Flat biscuit tray for baking cake and biscuits.

Dripping grease receptacle

(deep tray) for moist cake, for roasting or for intercepting dripping oil/grease.

Note!

Deep roasting pan used for intercepting the dripping juice and grease during roasting, may not be inserted into the first bottom level guide.

The rear wall of the oven is coated with catalytic coating which can be installed or removed by a qualified technician only.

Defrosting

This is the mode with air, circulating without any of the heaters being turned on. It is used for slow defrosting of food.

Lower heater and ventilator

Both the lower heater and ventilator are in operation. The mode is useful for baking low pastry and preparation of preserved fruit and vegetables. Use the first guide level from the bottom, and not too high pans, to allow the air to circulate along the upper side of the food.


Telescopic slide guides


Note ! Telescopic slide guides and other oven accessories might get very hot! Use kitchen gloves or other suitable protection!

Telescopic slide guides are located inside the oven to the right and to the left in three different levels.

• To insert the grid, baking or roasting pan, first slide out the telescopic guides for one particular level.

• Place the tray or pan on the guides and push them back completely into the oven.

Close the oven door only after you have pushed the telescopic guides into the oven.

Grease filter

(depending on the model).

Inserted grease filter at the rear panel of the oven protects the fan, the heater and the oven from accidental staining with grease. For roasting meat we recommend the use of grease.

Remove the filter when baking pastry. Grease filter might cause unsuccessful baking of some kinds of pastry.

• Moist pastry (i.e. fruit cake) may be baked at maximum two levels at the same time, because of excessive humidity.

• Different cakes may be baked together if the necessary temperature is approximately the same.

• Baking time may be different for different pastry, so you may have to take one pan out before the others.

• Cookies, like for example muffins, should be of equal size and thickness. Uneven cookies are baked unevenly.

• If you bake more than one cake at the same time, it may produce excessive steaming in the oven and condensation at the oven door.

Baking tips

Is pastry baked?

Pierce the cake with a wooden peg at the thickest part. If the dough does not stick to it, the cake is baked. You may switch off the oven and use the remaining heat.

Pastry has fallen

Check the recipe. Use less fluids next time. Follow the mixing times, especially when using powered kitchen mixers.

Pastry is too light below

Use dark baking pan next time, or place the pan one level lower, or switch on the lower heater a while before the completion.

Cheese cake is undercooked

Next time reduce the baking temperature and extend the baking time.

Warnings regarding the baking tables:

• The tables indicate the temperature range. Always select lower temperature first. You may always increase the temperature in case pastry needs more baking.

• Baking times are indicative only. They may vary in dependence of individual characteristics.

• The asterix indicates that the oven requires preheating.

Baking pastry

Most appropriate position for baking is the application of both upper and lower heater, or the hot air.

Note ! Grease filter must always be removed!

Warnings

• When baking pastry, strictly follow the instructions regarding the selection of guide level, temperature and baking time, and do not rely on any previous experience, because information indicated in the baking tables have been determined and tested specially for this particular type of oven.

• In case you may not find any particular type of cake in the tables, use the information available for the next most similar type of cake.

Baking with upper and lower heater

• Use only a single guide level.

• This baking position is especially suitable for baking dry pastry, bread and teacakes.Use dark baking pans. Light pans reflect heat and pastry is not adequately browned.

• Always place baking pans on the grid rack. Remove the grid only if baking in the flat biscuit tray, supplied with the appliance.

• Preheating shortens the baking time. Do not put the cake in the oven until proper temperature is obtained, and until the red signal lamp goes off for the first time.

Baking with hot air

• This mode of baking is especially suitable for baking at multiple levels, for moist pastry and fruit cakes.

• You may use light models.

• The temperature is usually lower than baking with upper/lower heater (see Baking Table).

Roasting

Best results are obtained with the engagement of both upper and lower, or with hot air.

Best heating mode for each type of roasting pan is indicated by bold print in the Roasting Tables.

Note! For roasting meat we recommend the use of grease filter (depending on the model).

Tips regarding roasting pans

• Use light enamel pans, temperature resistant glass pans, clay dishes or wrought iron dishes.

• Stainless steel dishes are not recommendable because they excessively reflect heat.

• Cover your roast or wrap it in foil. It will preserve its juice and the oven will remain cleaner.

• If you leave the pan uncovered, the roast will be cooked sooner. Roast large chunks of meat directly on the grid, with intercepting pan underneath.

Attention when roasting!

Roasting tables indicate suggested temperatures, guide level and roasting times. Roasting time largely depends upon the type of meat, its size and quality, so you may expect some variations.

• Roasting of large chunks of meat may produce excessive steaming and dew formation at the oven door. This is quite normal, and does not affect the operation of the oven.

However, after the completion of roasting wipe the oven door and the glass thoroughly.

• Roasting of red meat, poultry and fish is rational if the roast exceeds one kilogram in size.

• Add as much liquid as necessary to prevent burning of juice, dripping from meat. Roast must be surveyed at all times, and liquid added if necessary.

• At approximately the middle of the indicated time turn the roast round, especially if you use the deep roast dish.

• When roasting on the grill grid, place the grid in the deep roasting pan and insert both into the sliding guide. The bottom pan will intercept dripping fat.

• Never leave roast to cool in the oven, as it might produce dew and corrosion of the oven.

Grilling and browning (barbecue)

• Take extra precautions when grilling. Intensive heat from infrared heater makes the oven and the accessories extremely hot. Use protective gloves and barbecue accessories!

• Perforated roast may produce spurting of hot grease

(sausages). Use long grill tongs to prevent skin burns and protect your eyes.

• Supervise the grill at all times. Excessive heat may quickly burn your roast and provoke fire!

• Do not let the children in the vicinity of the grill.

Grill heater is especially suitable for the preparation of low-fat sausages, meat and fish fillets and steaks, and for browning and crisping the roast skin.

Tips for grilling

• Grilling should be carried out with the oven door closed.

• Grilling tables indicate the recommended temperature, guide levels and grilling times, which may vary according to the weight and quality of meat.

• Note! For roasting meat we recommend the use of grease filter (depending on the model).

• Grill heater should be pre-heated for 3 minutes.

• Oil the grill grid before placing the food, otherwise food might stick to the grid.

• Place the meat upon the grid, then place the grid upon the grease interception pan. Insert both trays into the oven guides.

• Turn the meat round after half of the roasting time has expired. Thinner slices will require only one turn, for larger chunks you might need to repeat the procedure. Always use barbecue tongs to avoid losing excessive juice from meat.

• Dark beef meat is grilled quicker than lighter pork or veal.

Preserving of fruit and vegetables

Use the bottom heater mode together with the fan .

• Prepare food for preserving and the jars in a usual manner

Use the conventional jars with glass cover and rubber gasket. Never use jars with threaded or tin covers, or tins.

Jars should be of the same size, filled with the same type of food and well tightened. You may place up to six one-liter jars.

• Use only fresh groceries.

• Pour around one liter of water into the deep roasting pan, to produce the required humidity. Place the jars into the oven without touching the oven walls (see fig.). Cover the jars with a wet paper to protect the rubber gaskets.

Note!

In case of accidental engagement of the temperature regulation knob the red light switches on, but no heater is active.

• You may defrost frozen cream cake or butter cream cake, other biscuits and pastry, bread and rolls, as well as deep frozen fruit.

• For reasons of hygiene do not defrost meat and poultry in the oven.

• If possible, stir the food or turn it over for better and more uniform defrosting.


Cleaning and maintenance

Never clean the appliance with pressurized hot steam cleaner!

Before cleaning switch the cooker off and let it cool down completely.

Front side of the casing

For cleaning of frontal part of the cooker use the usual cleaning agents and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or dish cleaning accessories which might cause scratches.

Stainless steel front


Clean the surface with mild detergent (soap) and soft sponge which does not scratch. Never use aggressive cleaners or solvents, otherwise you may damage the surface.

Enamel coated and plastic surfaces


Clean the knobs and handles with soft cloth and liquid cleaners, intended for use of smooth enamel surfaces.

Cleaning and maintenance of ceramic-glass hob

fig. 1

fig. 3

fig. 5

fig. 2

fig. 4

Ceramic glass hob should be cleaned only when completely cooled down, preferably after each use, otherwise even the slightest stains remaining after cooking may burn into the hob surface with each following use.

For regular maintenance of ceramic-glass hob use special cleansing agents, produced in such way to create protective film upon the surface.

Before each use, wipe the dust and other particles from the hob - they may scratch the surface (Fig. 1).

Caution: use of steel wool, abrasive cleaning sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch the surface of the hob. The surface may also be damaged by the use of aggressive sprays and inappropriate liquid chemicals (Fig.1 and 2).

Pattern marks can be erased by the use of aggressive cleansing agents or rough and damaged cookware bottoms

(Fig. 2).

Minor stains are removed with moist soft cloth; after that the surface should be wiped dry (Fig. 3).

Water stains are removed with gentle vinegar solution, but you must not wipe the frame with it (certain models only), since it may lose its glow. Never use any aggressive sprays or limestone removers (Fig. 3).

Major stains are removed with special ceramic-glass cleansers. Follow strictly the manufacturer's instructions.

Be careful to remove any remains of cleansing agent from the hob surface, otherwise they will be heated during the next use and can damage the hob (fig. 3).

Stubborn and burnt stains are removed with special ceramicglass scraper. Be careful, however, not to touch the hotplate surface with the scraper handle (Fig. 4).

Handle the scraper with utmost care to avoid injuries!

Sugar and sugar containing food may permanently damage the ceramic-glass hob surface (Fig.5), so the remains of sugar and sugar containing food must be scraped off from the hob surface immediately, when the hotplates are still hot (Fig. 4).

Discoloring of ceramic-glass hob has no effect whatsoever on its operation and stability. In most cases, it appears as the consequence of burnt in food remains, or as a result of dragging pots and pans (especially aluminum or copper bottom cookware) across the surface, and such discoloring is rather hard to remove.

Note: All described faults are mostly esthetical and do not affect directly the operation of the appliance. Remedy of such faults is not covered by warranty.

Cooktop


Hotplates and the surrounding area should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent. Soak any dried stains with a wet sponge.

All four hotplates must be thoroughly cleaned each time after use. If they are lightly stained, wipe them with moist cloth and some detergent. In case of heavily stained cooktop use the steel sponge dipped in detergent. Wipe the hotplates dry after each cleaning.

Liquids containing salt, boiling food spilled over, and any other kind of moisture may damage the hotplates, so always wipe them dry after cleaning.

To maintain the appearance of hotplates you may use a few drops of sewing machine oil and rub it in, or use the usual cleaning and maintaining agents, available in stores. Never apply butter, lard and the like, as you might provoke corrosion.

Cleaning agent will penetrate quicker if the hotplate is warm.

Hotplate rims are made of stainless steel and might assume yellow colour with time, because of the temperature effect. This is a physical phenomenon, and it may be partly removed with the usual metal cleaning agents.

Aggressive cleaning accessories for dishes are not suitable for cleaning of rims, as they might cause scratches.

Oven

The oven may be cleaned in a traditional mode (using oven cleaners and sprays).

The following procedure is recommended for regular cleaning of the oven (after each use):

Turn the mode selection button to the position . Set the temperature control button of the cold oven to 50°C. Pour 0,4 l of water into the baking pan and insert it into the bottom grid lead. After thirty minutes the food residues upon the enamel coating are softened, and may be easily wiped off with a moist cloth.

Otherwise respect the following cleaning tips:

• Cool the oven completely before cleaning.

• The oven and the accessories must be cleaned after each use, otherwise stains might get burned in.


• Oven walls, sprayed with oil from roasting, is best cleaned with warm water and detergent when the oven is still tepid.

• Hard and heavily stained oven should be cleaned with special oven cleaning agents. Rinse the cleaner thoroughly and remove any detergent remaining before the next use.

• Never use aggressive cleaners, like polishing agents, dish cleaning accessories, corrosion inhibitors, or any other devices that might cause scratches.

• Coated, stainless steel or zinc-coated surfaces or aluminum parts must not come into contact with oven sprays, since they might cause damage or discoloration. The same goes for thermostat probe (if the cooker is equipped with it) and exposed heaters on the oven ceiling.

• When purchasing cleaning agents remember the environment, and strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Catalytic coating of the oven

• Catalytic enamel is soft and sensitive to rubbing and therefore we warn against the use of abrasive cleaning agents and sharp objects.

• Rough catalytic enamel speeds up disintegration of grease and other filth. Smaller stains that remain after cooking usually disappear during the next use of the oven. As a rule, the stains disappear at the temperatures above 220ºC, while at lower temperatures their disappearance is only partial.

• Self cleaning power of catalytic parts gradually faints. We suggest replacement of old coatings after a couple of years of regular use.

Some useful hints

• When roasting large pieces of fatty meat we recommend that you wrap them in aluminium foil or put them in a suitable roasting bag to prevent the grease from splashing all over the oven.

• Place the drip pan underneath the grid when using the grill.

Removing wire and telescopic guide grids

Telescopic guide grids or wire guides may be removed to facilitate the cleaning of the oven. Side grids are removed by swinging the bottom side inwards and unhooking them from their place.

Clean the side grids and telescopic guides only with conventional detergents.

Telescopic guides may not be washed in a dishwasher.

Note ! Never lubricate the telescopic guides!

To reinsert, repeat the procedure backwards: slide them into the holes and swing downwards.

Oven ceiling


To facilitate the cleaning of the ceiling some ovens are equipped with the foldable infrared heater.

• Before lowering the infrared heater disconnect the appliance from the mains by unlocking the fuse or switching off the main switch.

• The heater must be cooled down, otherwise you might get burned!

• Never use the heater in the lowered position!

Before cleaning remove all pans, grids and guides, and using suitable tools (knife or a screwdriver) loosen the cross bar from its side supports (see fig.). Use your other hand to hold the heater and fold it downwards.

After cleaning simply push the heater back and the cross bar will click into position.

Removing oven door


Open the door to the horizontal position. Pull the bottom hinge supports upwards to the vertical position and lock them to the latch of upper hinge support. Close the door halfway (see fig.) and pull it out.

For reinserting the door repeat the procedure backwards. Insert the door in half open position (at an angle of 60 ° ) by pushing them all the way in during opening. Be sure that the notches on bottom hinge carriers fit exactly the oven floor. Now open the door completely, remove the hinge clamps from the upper hinge latches and return them into the horizontal position.

1 door hinge in

operating position

2 door hinge during dismantling

Removing oven door with a single axe hinge


Open the door completely and turn the removable locks backwards (see fig). Then close the door slowly and let the locks fit to the notches. At an angle of about 15 ° lift the door slightly up and pull the door from the hinge supports (fig. 2).

For reinserting the door repeat the procedure backwards. Insert the door at an angle of about 15 ° into the hinge supports by pushing them forward and downwards, so the hinges lock into their slots (fig. 3). Check if the hinges are locked into their respective slots.

Now open the door completely and turn the removable locks into their original position. Close the door slowly and check if they close properly (fig. 4). If you have trouble closing the door, check if the hinges are properly inserted into their slots.

Attention ! Never let the hinge locks spring out, as the springs are strong and may cause injuries.


Accessories

Accessories, like biscuit tray, oven grid, etc. are cleaned with hot water and the usual detergent.

Special enamel

Oven, interior door lining, baking tray and grease interception pan are coated with special enamel, with smooth and resistant surface.

This special coating facilitates cleaning at room temperature.

Grease filter

Clean the grease filter after each use with soft brush in hot water with some detergent, or wash it in the dishwasher.

Troubleshooting guide

Any unskilled attempt to repair the appliance is extremely dangerous as it might cause electric shock and short circuit. To avoid such injuries any repairs may be performed only by qualified personnel, or after sales service.

Instructions for installation and connection

Safety precautions for the technician

• Installation may be carried out only by qualified personnel.

• The electric installation shall be equipped with a safety device, able to disconnect the appliance from mains in all wires, with the distance between contacts of not less than 3 mm in open position. Good protection is provided by the LSswitches and/or fuses.

• The connection may be carried out by rubber mains lead

(type HO5RR-F with green/yellow earth wire), PVC insulated mains lead (type HO5VV-F with green/yellow earth wire) or other cables of equal or better quality.

• Distance between the cooktop and the kitchen hood must be at least the distance, indicated in the instructions for use of the kitchen extraction hood.

• Panels, glue and furniture lining from artificial materials, adjacent to the appliance must be temperature resistant

(>75°C), otherwise they might be deformed.

• Mains lead behind the cooker must be placed in such manner to avoid touching the back panel of the cooker because of the heat it develops during operation.

• Remove any packaging materials (foils, artificial foam, nails, etc.) from the reach of children, because they represent potential danger. Children may swallow small parts, or suffocate with foils.

Leveling the appliance and extra support


The height of the cooker with the support is 90 cm, and without support it is 85 cm. Left and right side of the support is equipped with two wheels to facilitate relocation. In the front part, on both sides there are two adjustable screws, used to level the cooker and adjust its upper edge in line with the adjacent kitchen furniture. Adjustable legs are accessible when the drawer is pulled out. Adjust the position of the cooker by turning the legs in one direction or another. Adjustable legs will be turned easier if the appliance is somewhat lifted up and tilted. Additional support may be removed by unscrewing the four screws holding it to the bottom of the cooker. In such case relocate the Some cookers are equipped with four adjusting screws (two in front and two at the back), used for leveling the appliance or adjusting its heights to match the adjacent furniture.

Electric connection

Open the connection box using the screwdriver, as shown by the drawing on the cover.

Connection to the mains power can be done only by the authorized service center or by qualified personnel! Wrong connection may damage the parts of appliance and render your warranty viod! Connecting voltage of the user’s installation (230 V against N) must be verified by qualified electrician using the appropriate tester.

Connector bridges must be positioned in accordance with the installation connection!

• Power cable must be guided through the relief device, protecting it from pulling out. If the relief device has not been fixed yet, fix it in such way to hook the power cable to the device housing at one end.

• Now connect the power cable in accordance to one of the options shown on the figure. In case of different installation voltages, the connection bridges should be rearranged accordingly!

• Tighten the relief device and close the connection box cover.

NOTE:

In some connection boxes the connector bridges are placed between contacts 4 and 5, and in the others they are stored at a designated place within the box. These boxes have the connection screws already in open position so they need not be unscrewed. During the tightening procedure you will hear a faint “click”, meaning that the tightening screw should be fastened tightly all the way.

• Prior connecting the appliance, check whether the voltage of the rating plate corresponds to the actual voltage of home installation.

• Length of the power lead must be at least 1.5 m so that the appliance can be connected to power before pushing it against the wall.

• Length of the earthing lead must be longer than the others, so that it is strained later than the tension power leads in case of accidental pullout from the socket.

Procedure

• Using the screwdriver open the connection box cover at the back of the appliance. You can do so by releasing two catches, as shown on the connection box cover.
