1.  Before You Start...

This User Guide covers a number of different models. 

Although some of the illustrations will look different to 

your particular model the functions will be the same. We 

hope the meaning is clear.

Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free 

cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important 

that you read this section before you start, particularly if you 

have not used an induction cooker before.

CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes 

only. It must not be used for other purposes, for 

example room heating. Using it for any other 

purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability 

claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel 

and may overheat the control knobs. 

Installation and Maintenance

All installations must be in accordance with the relevant 

instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national 

and local regulations, and with the local electricity supply 

companies’ requirements.

Make sure that the cooker is correctly wired and switched on.

The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds 

during first power setting – this is normal.

Set the clock to make sure that the ovens are functional – 

see the relevant section in this manual.

Only a qualified service engineer should service the cooker, 

and only approved spare parts should be used.

Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the 

mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, 

unless specified otherwise in this guide.

Peculiar Smells

When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This 

should stop after use.

Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all 

packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel 

manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200 °C and run 

for at least an hour.

Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on 

the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, 

pushed fully back, and the grill door open.

Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air 

(see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy 

problems should vacate the area for this brief period.

CAUTION: The use of a cooking appliance results in 

the production of heat and moisture in the room in

holes open or install a powered cookerhood that 

vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or 

use the cooker for a long time, open a window or 

turn on an extractor fan.
