enhance hygiene levels.
Use flat bottomed pots and pans when

cooking on the hotplates. This will
maximise

cooking appliance. Explain the dangers
to them. Being safety conscious is
being safe, not sorry.
Supervise

process.
Don't
Use pots which are smaller than the
•
hotplate diameter. This wastes
electricity and allows the pot handles to
overheat.
Leave the appliance unattended
•
especially when grilling. This is good
practice and avoids accidents.
Use abrasive cleaning materials. They
•
will scratch surfaces and fascia
graphics.
Allow fat splashes to dry and bake onto
•
the stove/oven surface before cleaning
them. It is easier to clean spills while
they are still slightly warm and soft.
Put baking tins on the floor of the oven.
•
This will prevent heat circulation and
spoil baking results.
Use the appliance to heat the home.
•
Neither the hotplates nor the oven were
designed for this purpose and damage
could occur.
Allow pot handles to overhang the front
•
of the appliance. Children might be
tempted to grab them with harmful
consequences.
