User`s manual

The installation must be in accordance with the installation
instructions and comply with the relevant regulations and
also, the local electricity supply companies requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use
for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or
liability claim.
Prolonged intensive use may call for additional ventilation,
for example opening a window. Use extractor fans or
hoods when fitted.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualified service
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have the
installer show you the location of the cooker control
switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the cooker
to cool and then switch off at the mains before 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 cooking has finished.
Take care when touching the cooker, to minimise 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 where applicable - using damp
gloves will 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
up 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 hob.
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
stuffs 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 on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable
liquids in the vincinty of this appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming
dish. 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 multi-purpose
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 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 wherever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats up. Deep fry pans should be
only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause a spill-over when food is added. If a combination of
oil or fats are used in frying, stir them together before
heating, or as the fats melt.
Food 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 hob.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, or hang on any part
of the cooker.
