Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with a hot surface unit and may cause
severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats and
oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as
it heats. Deep fry pans should be only
one third full of fat. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spill over when food
is added. If you use a combination of
oils or fats in frying, stir them together
before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills
or overheating of foods when frying at high or
medium high temperatures. Never try to move
a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait
until the fat is cool.
When the grill is on, do not use the top
of the fl ue (the slot along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the
hob, be sure that the cord of the appliance does
not come into contact with the surface area.
If you fi nd a crack in the hob surface
immediately disconnect the appliance
from the supply and arrange for its
repair.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance
Only certain types of glass, glass-
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
containers are suitable for hob cooking;
others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
Use proper pan size-select pans having fl at
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit's
heating area. The use of undersized pans will
expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of pans to surface unit will
also improve effi ciency.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on any part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
Make sure that your kitchen is well
ventilated at all times. Use extractor fans
or hoods when fi tted.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause
injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking
foods only and must not be used for any
other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the
kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the
control knobs may become overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave
the oven door open for longer than
necessary.
The specifi cation of this cooker should not be
altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when
moving it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure that the
control knobs are in the off position.
Do not slide pans across the hob
because this can scratch the glass - the
glass is scratch resistant, not scratch
proof. Sharp instruments, rings or other
jewellery and rivets on clothing could
scratch the hob surface.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Don't store heavy items above the
hob. If they drop on the hob, they could
cause damage.
