FAQs

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Allow the hob to cool down completely. Use a hob scraper to remove any burnt-on food. Clean the hob with a suitable ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth.

How do the catalytic liners work?

The catalytic liners absorb grease and fat splashes during cooking. When the oven is heated to a high temperature, the liners break down the residue, making cleaning easier.

What should I do if the oven is smoking?

Turn off the oven immediately and allow it to cool down. Check for any food spills or grease buildup, and clean the oven before the next use.

Can I use metal utensils on the ceramic hob?

It is recommended to use utensils with smooth bottoms and avoid dragging them across the hob surface to prevent scratches.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is two years for parts and labour, covering manufacturing defects.

What is the defrost function?

The defrost function uses a fan to circulate air around the food, helping to thaw it gently and evenly. It's a quick and safe way to defrost food before cooking.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Allow the oven to cool down completely. Unscrew the glass cover and replace the bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage. Reassemble the cover.

Troubleshooting

The oven is not heating.

Check the power supply and ensure the cooker is properly connected. Check the oven settings and make sure it is turned on. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.

The hob is not heating.

Ensure the hob is switched on and that the correct zone is selected. Check for any spills that might be interfering with the heating element. Make sure the child lock isn't activated. If it does not work, consult a qualified electrician.

Food is not cooking evenly.

Ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during cooking. Check the placement of the food in the oven for proper heat distribution. Try using a different shelf level.

Oven door is difficult to open or close.
