Your new freestanding cooker: A compact guide
Before installation and use, be sure to read the operating instructions included with the device. They contain important information on safety, installation, and operation to protect your health and prevent damage to the device.
1. Preparation
- Choose a well-ventilated, dry room.
- The stove must be stable and a minimum distance of 65 cm to the extractor hood must be maintained.
2. Installation and commissioning
- Carefully unpack the device and check it for damage. Remove all packaging and films.
- The electrical connection must only be carried out by a qualified professional, as improper installation can be life-threatening and will result in the loss of warranty coverage.
- Ensure the mains voltage is correct and the stove is properly grounded. (Depending on the model, attach the stabilizing chain to prevent the appliance from tipping over.)
- Clean the oven and accessories before first use. Heat the oven once empty at the highest setting and then wipe it out.
3. Correct use
- Use the different oven functions (top/bottom heat, fan-assisted cooking, grill) and adjust the temperature accordingly.
- The hobs are operated via rotary knobs; check the control indicator to ensure the hob is properly switched off.
- On the model with a ceramic hob, the residual heat indicator shows which cooking zones are still hot.
- Use suitable cookware and never leave the stove unattended while it is in use.
4. Cleaning and maintenance
- Switch off the device and let it cool down before cleaning.
- Wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth after each use; use special oven cleaners if necessary.
- For ceramic hobs, glass-ceramic cleaner is recommended. For solid hobs, choose a suitable cleaner depending on the type (stainless steel or enamel).
- The oven door can be removed and disassembled for cleaning. (See instruction manual for details.)
- Clean the outside with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

With correct installation, safe operation, and regular maintenance, your stove will remain reliable and long-lasting. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our customer service or a qualified technician.
