Troubleshooting

Cooker not turning on / no power to hob or oven.

Check the main power supply and ensure the cooker is plugged in correctly. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse in your home's electrical panel has not tripped. If issues persist, contact a qualified electrician.

Hob zones not heating up.

Ensure the correct hob zone is selected and the power level is set. Check if the 'hot surface' indicator light is on (after cooling) which might prevent heating. If still not working, there might be an internal fault requiring service.

Oven not reaching desired temperature or cooking unevenly.

Verify the oven temperature setting. Ensure the oven door is fully closed and the seal is intact. Avoid opening the door frequently during cooking. Check if any large items are blocking the air vents inside the oven. Consider using an oven thermometer to verify accuracy.

Difficulty cleaning burned-on food from ceramic hob.

Allow the hob to cool completely. Apply a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and let it soak for a few minutes. Use a ceramic hob scraper at a shallow angle to gently lift residue. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive scrubbers.

Unpleasant smell or smoke during initial use.

This is normal during the first few uses as manufacturing residues burn off. Ensure good ventilation in the kitchen by opening windows or using an extractor fan. The smell should dissipate after a few cycles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the cooker for any transport damage. Keep packaging for potential returns.
  2. Placement: Ensure the cooker is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check the dimensions (900 x 600 x 600 mm) to ensure adequate space and ventilation around the unit.
  3. Electrical Connection: This electric cooker requires a dedicated electrical circuit and professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. Do not attempt to install it yourself if you are not qualified.
  4. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the base of the cooker to ensure it is perfectly level. This is crucial for even cooking results and door operation.

Compatibility

  • Cookware: For the ceramic hob, use pots and pans with perfectly flat bases made from materials like stainless steel, cast iron (enameled or uncoated), or specialized ceramic hob cookware. Avoid using aluminum pots with rough bottoms, as they can scratch the surface or leave residue.
  • Kitchen Space: Designed for standard 60cm cooker spaces. Ensure adequate clearance from adjacent cabinets or walls as specified in the full user manual.

Care

  1. Ceramic Hob Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a specialized ceramic hob cleaner. For stubborn stains or burned-on food, use a ceramic hob scraper *carefully*. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or damage the surface.
  2. Oven Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the oven interiors with a damp cloth and mild detergent once cool. For deeper cleaning, refer to your user manual for specific instructions on self-cleaning functions (if available) or recommended oven cleaning products. Always ensure the oven is completely cool before cleaning.
  3. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the silver exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check door seals for damage, as this can affect oven efficiency. If any controls or heating elements seem faulty, contact a qualified technician for inspection and repair.
