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.

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
240 °C is ideal for this purpose. Ensure that no packaging
remnants have been left in the cooking compartment.

Making settings on the hob

Your hob is equipped with four gas burners. The following
information explains how to light the gas burners and set the
size of flame.

Advance cleaning of burner cup and cap

Clean the burner cap (1) and cup (2) with water and washing-
up liquid. Dry the individual parts carefully.
Place the burner cup and cap back on the burner shell (5).
Ensure that the igniter (3) and flame safety pin (4) are not
damaged.
The nozzle (6) must be dry and clean. Always position the
burner cap exactly over the burner cup.

Igniting the gas burners

Always position the burner cap exactly onto the burner cup. The
openings in the burner cup must remain unobstructed at all
times. All parts must be dry.

If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can
light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.
Table – Cooking
Select the right pan size for each hotplate. The diameter of the
pot or pan base should be the same as that of the hotplate.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its
weight and quality. You yourself can best judge the optimal
cooking time.
Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food
retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so
that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
