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 hob 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 hob. 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 hob, be
sure that the cord of the appliance does not come
into contact with the surface area.
If you find a crack in the hob surface
immediately disconnect the appliance from
the supply and arrange for its repair.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for hob cooking; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
Use proper pan size-select pans having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit’s
heating area. The use of undersized pans will
expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of pans to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on any part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated
at all times. Use extractor fans or hoods
when fitted.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause
injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking foods only
and must not be used for any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the
kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the
control knobs may become overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven
door open for longer than necessary.
The specification of this cooker should not be
altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when
moving it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure that the
control knobs are in the off position.
Do not slide pans across the hob because
this can scratch the glass - the glass is
scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Sharp
instruments, rings or other jewellery and
rivets on clothing could scratch the hob
surface.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Don’t store heavy items above the hob.
If they drop on the hob, they could cause
damage.
