• DO NOT manouvre the cooker while it is
plugged into the electricity supply.
• Before electrical reconnection, check that
the appliance is electrically safe.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off
an odour. This should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the first time,
make sure that all packing materials have been
removed and then, to dispel manufacturing
odours, turn all the ovens to 200°C and run for
at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you
should also turn on the grill and run for 30
minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed
fully back and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air (see 'Ventilation' below). People with
respiratory or allergy problems should vacate
the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Make sure that the kitchen
is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cooker hood
that vents outside.
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.
Maintenance
• Only a qualified service engineer
should service the appliance and only
approved spare parts should be used. It
is recommended that this appliance is
serviced annually.
WARNING:
•
Before removing replacing
the bulb, turn off the power supply and
make sure that the oven is cool.
• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the
hotplate that overlap the edges.
• ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool and then
switch it off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.
• DO NOT use the control knobs to
manoeuvre the cooker.
• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of a glove – it might catch fire if
brought into contact with a hot surface.
• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or
hotplate covers of any description. These
may affect the safe use of your hotplate
burners and are potentially hazardous to
health.
• NEVER heat unopened food containers.
Pressure build up may make the containers
burst and cause injury.
WARNING
•
: Use only hob guards designed
by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the manufacturer
of the appliance in the instructions for use
as suitable or hob guards incorporated in
the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.
• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. ALWAYS
make sure that you position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.
• NEVER leave the hotplate unattended
at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.
WARNING:
•
hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.
