Table - Cooking

Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of 

the pot or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.
Cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the 

food. Deviations are therefore possible. You yourself can best 

judge the optimal cooking time.

Minerals and vitamins are very quickly destroyed during 

cooking. Therefore, only use a little water. This will help you 

retain vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so that 

the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.

Setting the oven

Here you can find out how to set the oven.

This is how you adjust the lower gas burner in 

the oven

When the lower gas burner is lit, you can bake on a baking 

sheet with the oven door closed.
Example in the picture: Heat to 170 °C

1.

Open the top cover. The top cover must remain open for as 

long as the oven is in operation.

2.

Open the main gas supply to the appliance. Connect the plug 

in the socket. Open the oven door.

3.

Push in the switch for the lower gas burner and turn it to 

170 °C.

4.

While holding the switch for the lower gas burner depressed, 

press the ignition button 

.

5.

The gas escaping from the oven's lower gas burner is ignited 

using the ignition button. To activate the safety pilot, press 

and hold the lower gas burner on the oven for 10 seconds.
The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the gas 

supply is automatically interrupted by the safety pilot.

6.

Look through the inspection port to make sure that the flame 

is lit. If it is not, repeat the process from step 3.

7.

Close the oven door slowly.

8.

Preheat the empty oven for approximately 15 minutes before 

baking.

9.

When the dish has finished cooking, turn off the switch for the 

lower gas burner.

You can change the temperature at any time.

Caution!

The ignition device should not be actuated for more than 15 
seconds. If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, wait for 
at least one minute. Then repeat the ignition process.

Procedure for setting the gas grill

1.

Open the top cover. The top cover must remain open for as 

long as the oven is in operation.

2.

Turn on the main gas supply to the appliance. Connect the 

plug to the socket.

3.

Insert the protecting plate into the groove under the control 

panel.
The protecting plate is inserted with the longer edge facing 

forwards and the curvature facing downwards.

Fasten the protecting plate in the groove under the control 

panel using the retainers.
Make sure that the protecting plate is latched into the 

retainers. Once the protecting plate cannot be removed, it is 

correctly latched in place. You can now safely use the 

protecting plate. If it can be removed, insert it into the groove 

at a slightly higher angle and make sure that it latches into 

the retainers.

4.

Close the oven door so that it is in contact with the protecting 

plate.

5.

Press the function selector and turn it clockwise to the grill 

setting 

.

6.

press the ignition button
