Before Using Your Appliance for the First Time
Time of day
❑ Before you use your appliance for the
first time, it is necessary to set the
current time on the electronic timer.
❑ After connecting to the mains, or after a
power failure, the display
{:{{
will blink.
Setting the time:
Press the + button and set the current
time with the rotary knob (e.g.
|Å:{{
).
Note: The time cannot be set if an
automatic function is active (see Electronic
clock for cancelling automatic function).
Preliminary cleaning:
1. Clean the appliance exterior with a soft
moistened cloth.
2. Clean the oven and the accessories with
a hot detergent solution.
❑ Please observe the operating
instructions furnished with the hob.
Initial burn-in
1. Heat the empty oven for approx.
30 minutes.
Select top and bottom heat at a setting
of 240° C.
During the initial burn-in phase, please
open the kitchen windows to dissipate
unpleasant odours.
2. Operate cast-iron hotplates, without
placing utensils on them, on the highest
heat setting for about 1 to 2 minutes.
The odour rising from the hotplates is
caused by the burning-in of the
corrosion protection, and occurs only
during the initial use.
