Before using the oven for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using
your oven or gas hob 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 at
240 °C is ideal for this purpose. Make sure that there are no
remnants of packing in the cooking compartment.
1. Use the function selector to set
% Top/bottom heating.
2. Set the temperature selector to 240 °C.
After an hour, switch off the oven. Turn the function selector
and temperature selector to the off position.
Cleaning the accessories
Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.
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.

Use pans which are the right
size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame must
not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on the
hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat
base.
Do not cook without using a lid
and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always place the ovenware
centrally over the burner.
Otherwise, there is a risk that it
may tip over.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do
not place excessive weight on
it.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single
pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole dishes,
etc. for a long period of time
on maximum power.
