Cleaning the cooking compartment and
accessories
Before using the appliance to prepare food for the first
time, you must clean the cooking compartment and
accessories.
Cleaning the cooking compartment
To remove the new-appliance smell, heat up the
cooking compartment when empty and with the oven
door closed.
Make sure that the cooking compartment does not
contain any leftover packaging, such as polystyrene
pellets. Before heating the appliance, wipe the smooth
surfaces in the cooking compartment with a soft, wet
cloth. Keep the kitchen ventilated while the appliance is
heating.
Make the settings indicated. You can find out how to set
the type of heating and the temperature in the next
section. ~ "Operating the appliance" on page 14

B efore using for the first time
E l e c t r i c h o b s
To eliminate the new-appliance smell, switch all of the
cooking zones to position 4 one after the other and
without cookware for 15 minutes each. Only ever switch
on one hotplate. During initial operation, smoke and
odours may be released but these will disappear over
time.
:
Warning – Risk of harm to health!
When heating up the hotplate for the first time, vapour is
released which may lead to irritation of the mucous
membranes. During this process, ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated. Keep children, pets and
particularly vulnerable people away from the room.
Caution!
Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on
top, except during this initial heating phase.
Important information about your electric
hotplate
If the diameter of the pot or pan base is not the same
as that of the hotplate or if the pan base is not flat,
energy will be used unnecessarily. Any overflowing
liquid will burn on and leave stains that are difficult to
remove.
Make sure that the pot or pan base is dry.
The electric hotplate must not be switched on if there is
no pan on it.
Due to the effects of heat, the metallic hotplate ring will
discolour over time. You can remove this discolouration
by cleaning the hotplate ring using the rough side of a
sponge and a cleaning agent. When cleaning, make
sure that the sponge does not come into contact with
the hotplate.
Residual heat will still be present when the hotplate is
switched off. Keep children away from the appliance.
Make sure that the rotary knob for the hotplate is
switched off following a power cut.
When you begin cooking, we recommend turning the
control knob up to the maximum setting and then,
depending on the quantity and quality of the foods
being cooked, turn down the heat to a medium setting.
Taking advantage of the thermal inertia of the hob, the
hob can be switched off shortly before you finish
cooking. This will save energy as food will continue to
cook using the heat retained in it.
Use perfectly flat, thick bottom pans of a similar size to
the hotplate, never smaller.
Do not spill liquid on the hob's surface, or use wet pans
on it.
If prolonged use has worn away the surface of the
electric hobs, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil or
other maintenance products that are widely available.
