I tricity cable are installed in such a
way that they do not touch any parts of
the appliance which become hot. This
could cause damage.
I The electrical safety of the ap-
3 pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-

responsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system.

I the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.

I electricity supply corresponds to
the information on the data plate.

Warning and Safety Instructions
•
The pan and ring supports heat up
when the burners are in use. Do
not touch them until they have cooled
down. The use of oven gloves is recom-
mended.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are fire hazards if over-
heated.
»:•;•••. Check that all the burners are cor-
rectly assembled before igniting
the gas, otherwise the ignition could
malfunction.
r .; Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, se-
lect a longer cooking or reheating time.
... , It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated. To check that it is thoroughly
cooked, turn or stir during cooking if
necessary.
When using an electric socket
near to the hob, care should be
taken that the cable of the other ap-
pliance does not come into contact
with the gas flames or the hot parts of
the hob.
Danger of burning.
- Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill on to a stainless
steel hob. Should this happen, wipe up
any spillages containing salt immediate-
ly, otherwise discolouration could occur.
mm When cooking or boiling in large
I pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 50 mm between
the pan and a heat-sensitive worktop.
After combustion the hot gases flow
outwards under the base of the pan,
and may consequently burn the edge
of the worktop if too close.
•
Do not use the control panel as a
resting place for pots and pans.
Make sure there is a minimum dis-
I tance of 15 mm between the pan
and the control panel.
When using a cooker hood over
I the gas hob, ensure that any bur-
ners in use are always covered with a
pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up
by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged.
Fat residues in the filter could catch fire.
Do not use the gas hob to heat up
I the room. The high temperatures of
the hob could cause inflammable ob-
jects in the vicinity to burn.
; Spray canisters, aerosols or in-
flammable substances must not be
stored in the drawer beneath the hob.
Any cutlery trays must be made of a
heat resistant material.
