This appliance is designed for domestic
cooking only. Use for any other purpose
could invalidate any warranty or
liability claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in
the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
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 and 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 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.
