cleaning or carrying out any maintenance 

work, unless specified otherwise in this guide.

All parts of the cooker become hot with 

use and will retain heat even after you have 

stopped cooking.

Take care when touching cooker, to minimize 

the possibility of burns, always be certain that 

the controls are in the OFF position and that it 

is cool before attempting to clean the cooker.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using 

damp gloves might result in steam burns when 

you touch a hot surface. Never operate the 

cooker with wet hands.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place 

of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a 

hot surface.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is 

used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful 

to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can 

produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot 

surface.

Do not use unstable saucepans and position 

the handles away from the edge of the 

hotplate.

Babies, toddlers and young children should not 

be allowed near the cooker at any time. They 

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any 

part of the appliance. Teach them not to play 

with controls or any other part of the cooker.

Never store anything of interest to children in 

cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on 

the cooker to reach them could be seriously 

injured.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

In the interests of hygiene and safety the 

cooker should be kept clean at all times as 

a build up in fats and other food stuff could 

result in a fire.

Always keep combustible wall coverings or 

curtains etc. a safe distance away from your 

cooker.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the 

cooker while it is in on.

Do not store or use combustible materials, 

or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this 

appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up 

a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother 

a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering 

the pan completely with a well fitting lid or 

baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry 

chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high 

heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause 

smoking and greasy spills may catch on fire.

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes 

while using the appliance. Be careful when 

reaching for items stored in cabinets over the 

hotplate. Flammable material could be ignited 

if brought in contact with a hot surface unit 

and may cause severe burns.

Take great care when heating fats and oils, as 

they will ignite if they get too hot.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible 

to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking 

point.

Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always 

heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry 

pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling 

the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when 

food is added. If you use a combination of 

oils or fats in frying, stir them together before 

heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. 

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh 

foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over 

the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills 

or overheating of foods when frying at high or 

medium high temperatures. Never try to move 

a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait 

until the fat is cool.

When the grill is on, do not use the top of the 

flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for 

warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or 

softening butter.

When using an electrical appliance near the 

hotplate, be sure that the cord of the appliance 

does not come into contact with the hotplate.

Take care that no water seeps into the 

appliance.
