Troubleshooting
Cooker or specific oven/hob zone not turning on.
Check the main power switch at the wall. Ensure the cooker is correctly plugged in and the fuse in the plug (if applicable) or circuit breaker hasn't tripped. For specific zones, ensure the control knob is turned to the desired setting and not just in the 'off' position.
Oven not heating to the correct temperature.
Verify the temperature setting on the control knob. Ensure the oven door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Allow sufficient preheating time; ovens often need 10-15 minutes to reach the set temperature. If the issue persists, there might be a fault with the thermostat; contact a qualified technician.
Ceramic hob not heating up or heating unevenly.
Ensure the correct hob zone has been selected and the power level is set appropriately. Use flat-bottomed cookware that matches the size of the hob zone for optimal heat transfer. If a zone still doesn't heat, there might be an internal electrical issue requiring professional inspection.
Excessive smoke or strange odors during first use.
This is normal during the initial 'burn-off' period as manufacturing oils and residues evaporate. Ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated by opening windows or using an extractor fan. This should subside after the first few uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the electrical nature of the appliance, it is strongly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified electrician or approved installer. Ensure your home's electrical supply meets the cooker's requirements.
- Check Dimensions: Before installation, confirm that the available space in your kitchen perfectly accommodates the cooker's dimensions: 900mm (H) x 500mm (W) x 600mm (D). Allow for adequate ventilation space around the unit.
- Leveling: Ensure the cooker is level using its adjustable feet to ensure stable operation and even cooking.
- First Use: Before cooking, it's advisable to run both ovens on a high temperature (e.g., 200°C) for about 30-60 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. Expect a slight odor during this initial process; ensure good ventilation.
Compatibility
- Electrical Supply: Requires a dedicated cooker circuit with the appropriate voltage and amperage. Consult with your installer for specific requirements.
- Kitchen Space: Designed for standard 500mm wide cooker slots. Always measure your space accurately.
Care
- Ceramic Hob Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild dish soap or a specialized ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can scratch the surface. Promptly wipe away spills, especially sugary ones, to prevent them from baking onto the surface.
- Oven Cleaning: For light cleaning, wipe the interior with warm soapy water after each use once the oven has cooled. For tougher stains, use oven cleaners specifically designed for electric ovens, following the product instructions carefully. Always ensure the oven is unplugged or switched off at the mains before deep cleaning.
- Exterior Care: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid spraying water directly onto control panels.
- Door Seals: Regularly check oven door seals for damage. Clean them gently to ensure a tight seal for efficient cooking.
