Safety Information

When used properly your appliance is completely safe
but as with any electrical product there are certain
precautions that must be observed. PLEASE READ
THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING
YOUR APPLIANCE.
· Always remove all packing from the
appliance before switching on for the first time.
· Understand the controls prior to using the
appliance.
· Keep children away from the appliance when
cooking as the surfaces will get extremely hot during
and after use.
· Turn controls off when not in use.
· Stand back when opening an oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to disperse.
· Always use dry good quality oven gloves
when removing items from the oven/grill.
· Always place pans centrally over the hotplate
making sure handles are kept away from the edge of
the hob and cannot become heated by other
hotplates or pans.
· Always take care to avoid heat or steam
burns when operating the controls.
· Always turn off the electricity supply at the
wall switch and allow the appliance to cool before
cleaning (or changing an oven lamp if fitted).
· Always make sure the shelves are in the
correct position before switching on the oven or
grill.
· Always keep the oven/grill door closed when
the appliance is not in use.
· Always keep the appliance clean as a build
up of grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire.
· Always follow the basic principles of food
handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of
bacterial growth.
· Always keep ventilation slots clear of
obstructions.
· Always refer servicing to a qualified
appliance service engineer.
· Always take care when removing items from
the grill compartment when the lower oven is in use
as the contents will be hot.
· Always turn off the electricity supply to the
appliance at the wall switch should any glass panel
(if fitted) crack or shatter and then DO NOT USE
THE APPLIANCE until repaired.
· During use, the oven becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven.
The appliance must be used by adults only for the
preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other use
of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The
manufacturer may not be held liable for any damage
resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance.

of the appliance.
· Never store items above the appliance that
children may attempt to reach.
· Never leave anything on the hob surface when
unattended and not in use.
· Never remove the oven shelves whilst the
oven is hot.
· Never heat up unopened food containers as
pressure can build up causing the container to burst.
· Never store chemicals/food stuffs or
pressurised containers in or on the appliance, or in
cabinets immediately above or next to the appliance.

near the hob.
· Never fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3
full of oil, or use a lid. DO NOT LEAVE DEEP FAT
FRYING PANS UNATTENDED WHILE

· Never use the grill to warm plates.
· Never dry any items on either the hob or oven
doors.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE
In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT
THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET
OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and
extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT
LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries
are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing
outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT
OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is
likely to tip the pan over.
Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product.
These individuals should, at the very least, be
supervised by someone who assumes responsibility
for their safety or receive preliminary instructions
relating to the operation of the appliance.
