Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. It
shows which hotplates are still hot. Even if the hob is switched
off, the display remains lit until the hotplate has cooled down
sufficiently.
You can save energy by using the residual heat to keep a small
dish warm, for example.
The oven
Use the function selector and the temperature selector to set
the oven.
Function selector
Use the function selector to select the type of heating for the
oven.
You can turn the function selector clockwise and anti-clockwise.
When you make settings, the oven light in the cooking
compartment switches on.
Temperature selector
Use the temperature selector to set the temperature and the
grill setting.
When the oven is heating up, the control lamp on the control
panel is lit. If heating is interrupted, the symbol goes out. For
some settings, it does not light up.
The cooking compartment
The oven light is located in the cooking compartment.
Oven light
During operation, the oven light in the cooking compartment is
on.
Steam outlet
The hot air from the cooking compartment escapes at the rear
of the hob. Caution: do not cover the ventilation slots.
Otherwise the oven will overheat.
Accessories
The accessories can be inserted into the oven at 5 different
levels.
You can pull out the accessories two thirds of the way without
them tipping. This allows dishes to be removed easily.
The accessories can become deformed when they get hot. As
soon as they have cooled down, the deformation disappears
with no effect on the function.
Hold the baking tray securely on the sides with both hands and
push it parallel into the frame. Avoid movements to the right or
left when pushing the baking tray in. Otherwise, it will be difficult
to push the tray in and the enamelled surfaces could be
damaged.
You can buy accessories from the after-sales service, from
specialist retailers or online. Please specify the HZ number.
