Before using the oven for the first time

In this section, you can find out what you must do before using 

your oven to prepare food for the first time. First read the 

section on 

Safety information

.

Setting the clock

After the oven has been connected, the

0

 symbol and three 

zeros light up in the display. Set the clock.

1.

Press the

0

 button.  

The time 12:00 appears in the display and the

0

 symbol 

flashes.

2.

Use the + or - button to change the clock.

After a few seconds, the time that has been set is adopted.

Heating up the oven

To remove the new cooker smell, heat up the oven when it is 

empty and closed. An hour of

%

 Top/bottom heating at 

240 °C is ideal for this purpose. Make sure that there are no 

remnants of packing in the cooking compartment.

1.

Use the function selector to set

%

 Top/bottom heating.

2.

Set the temperature selector to 240 °C.

After an hour, switch off the oven. Turn the function selector 

and temperature selector to the off position.

Cleaning the accessories

Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them 

thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.

Cooking with induction

Your hob is equipped with induction hotplates.

Benefits of cooking with induction

When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the 

base of the pan. The hotplate does not become hot. This 

provides many benefits for you:

Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated 

directly. There is no heat loss. 

Energy-saving.

Easier care and cleaning. Spilled food does not burn onto the 

hob so quickly. 

Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. Induction 

creates or interrupts the supply of heat immediately after 

each use.  

Heating is interrupted when you remove the cookware from 

the hotplate, even if the hotplate is still switched on.

Cookware

Suitable ovenware

Only use ferromagnetic (magnetisable) cookware 

made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction 

cookware made of stainless steel.

Unsuitable cookware

Do not use any cookware made of 

normal stainless steel, glass, ceramic material, copper or 

aluminium.

Checking cookware

Your cookware is suitable if the base of a pot or pan attracts a 

magnet. Pan manufacturers usually indicate whether cookware 

is suitable for induction cooking.

Notes concerning the base of cookware

The composition of the base of cookware can affect the 

cooking result. The material used for the base of cookware 

should distribute heat evenly. A sandwich base made of 

stainless steel, for example, is ideal.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. Always use 

the hotplate which best corresponds to the diameter of the pan.

Normal operating noises from the hob

Induction technology is based on the creation of 

electromagnetic fields. These fields create heat directly on the 

base of the cookware. Depending on how they are 

manufactured, pots and pans can produce a wide range of 

noises or vibrations. This is normal.
The noises may become less noticeable or disappear entirely if 

you reduce the heat setting.

Setting the hob

This section familiarises you with how to make settings on your 

hob. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for 

various meals.

Switching the hob on and off

Use the

#

 main switch to switch the hob on and off. 

Switching on

Touch the

#

 symbol.  

The indicator above the main switch lights up. The hob is ready 

for use.

Switching off

Touch the

#

 symbol until the indicator above the main switch 

goes out.  

All hotplates switch off. If the hotplates have become hot from 

the pan bases, the residual heat will be indicated by 

 or 

œ 

.

Note: 

The hob switches itself off automatically if all hotplates are 

switched off for more than 20 seconds.

Selecting and setting the hotplate

Prerequisite: The hob must be switched on.
Set the desired heat setting on the control panel. 

Heat setting

 = lowest output 

Heat setting 

Š

 = highest output

Every heat setting has an intermediate setting. This is identified 

by a dot.
Place the cookware on a suitable hotplate.
