Gas
• This appliance must be installed by a competent and
Gas Safe registered engineer (in the UK).
• This appliance is supplied for use with natural gas
only, and cannot be used on any other gas without
modification. See 'Gas Installation' for modification to
other gas types.
• This appliance can only be installed in a room
with adequate ventilation. See the 'Ventilation
requirements' in the installation instructions.
Operation and Maintenance
• This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Safe food handling: always leave food in the oven for
as short a time as possible before and after cooking.
This is to avoid contamination by organisms which
may cause food poisoning. Take particular care
during warmer weather.
• Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water
or ice on the oven floor during cooking as this will
irreversibly damage the enamel.
• Do not line the walls with aluminium foil.
• Do not stand on the doors, or place heavy objects
on them.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
scratch the surface, which may result in the glass
shattering.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the
appliance.
• Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers
between the flame and the saucepan as this may
cause serious damage to your hob.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the
hob burners.
• Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the
hob as this can deflect heat onto your worktop and
damage the surface.
• Do not let large saucepans, frying pans or woks push
any other pans aside. This could make them unstable
or deflect heat onto your worktop and damage the
surface.
• Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure
saucepan handles do not overhang other gas
burners that are on. Keep handles out of the reach of
children.
• CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating.
• CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat, moisture and products
of combustion in the room in which it is installed.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: 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 of a
window, or more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
