4 Preparation
Tips for energy saving
The following information will help you to use your
appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:
Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware in
the oven for better heat transmission.
Before cooking your dishes, perform a preheating
operation if it is advised in the user manual or
cooking instructions.
Do not open the door of the oven frequently during
cooking.
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the
same time whenever possible. Two cooking
vessels can be placed onto the wire shelf.
First cleaning of the appliance
The surface of the appliance may be
damaged by some detergents or
cleaning materials. Do not use
aggressive detergents, cleaning
powder, cream or any sharp objects.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp
cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.
Initial heating
Heat up the appliance for about 30 minutes and then
switch it off. This will ensure that any production
residues or layers will be burnt off and removed.
WARNING
Hot surfaces cause burns!
Product may be hot when it is in use.
Never touch the hot burners, inner
sections of the oven, heaters and etc.
Keep children away. Always use heat
resistant oven gloves when putting in
or removing dishes into/from the hot
oven.
Package information
Packaging materials are dangerous to children. Keep
packaging materials in a safe place out of reach of
children.
Packaging materials of the appliance are
manufactured from recyclable materials.
Do not dispose of the packaging materials together
with domestic or other wastes. Dispose of them in a
responsible manner.
Future Transportation
Keep the appliances original carton and transport the
appliance in it. Follow the instructions on the carton. If
you do not have the original carton, pack the
appliance in bubble wrap or thick cardboard and tape
it securely.
To prevent the wire grill and tray inside the oven from
damaging the oven door, place a strip of cardboard
onto the inside of the oven door that lines up with the
position of the trays. Tape the oven door to the side
walls.
Secure the caps and pan supports with adhesive
tape.
Do not use the door or handle to lift or move the
appliance.
Smell and smoke may emit during the
first heating. This is not a fault and is
quite normal and is due to any
production residues or layers being
burnt off and removed. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated.
Cook more than one dish one after another. The
oven will already be hot.
Save energy by switching off your oven a few
minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do not
open the oven door.
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
Use pots and pans with covers for cooking. If there
is no cover, energy consumption may increase by 4
times.
Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom
size of the pot that is to be used. Always select the
correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require
more energy.
Wrong centralizing of the burner caps
may result in a flash back and cause
burners to melt and deform. (After
cleaning the burner cap ensure the cap
is properly located on to the flame
spreaders. See fitting burner caps).
Wrong control of the gas valves: Gas
valves must be controlled from 90
°
to
210
°
(or 160
°
according to the gas valve
model) If flame is set from 0
°
to 90
°
the
burner will be below the minimum output
and may result in a flash back and cause
burners to melt and deform.
The above user faults are not covered by
the warranty.
