Safety instructions
General
• Please read these instructions carefully and retain them for reference.
• Use this appliance solely in accordance with these instructions.
• 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 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.
• Have any repairs carried out solely by a qualified electrician. Never try to repair the appliance
yourself.
Electricity and heat
• Before use please verify that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate of the
appliance.
• Plug the appliance only into an earthed wall socket.
• Always remove the plug from the socket when the appliance is not in use.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket by pulling the plug, not the power cord.
• Check the appliance’s power cord regularly to make sure it is not damaged. Do not use the
appliance if the power cord is damaged. Have a damaged power cord replaced by a qualified repair
service.
• When using an extension lead always make sure that the entire cable is unwound from the reel.
• Use solely approved extension leads.
• Certain parts of the appliance may get hot. Do not touch these parts to prevent burning yourself.
• To prevent the risk of fire the appliance needs space to allow it to loose heat. Make sure that it has
sufficient space around, and that it makes no contact with flammable material. Do not cover the
appliance. Also make sure that the air vents are not covered or blocked.
• Never use the appliance when it is close to flammable materials.
• Make sure that the appliance, the power cord or the plug do not make contact with hot surfaces,
such as a hot hob or naked flame.
• Make sure that the appliance, the power cord and plug do not make contact with water.
During use
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Never use the appliance in a humid room.
• Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface where it cannot fall.
• Never allow the power cord to hang over the edge of the draining board, worktop or table.
• Make sure that your hands are dry before touching the appliance, power cord or plug.
• Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the wall socket in the event of a malfunction
during use, and before cleaning the appliance, fitting or removing an accessory, or storing the
appliance after use.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst it is in use.
• Never move the appliance whilst it is switched on or is still hot. Switch off the appliance, and wait
until it has cooled down before you move it.
• Always hold the dishes by the plastic grip. The metal part of the dish’s handle can become very hot.
• Always use implements with a heat-insulating handle for the dishes and the baking plate.
• Do not use any sharp implements for the dishes and the baking plate; these will damage the non-
stick coating.
• Do not splash hot oil on the heating element. This will begin to smoke, and will smell.
• Do not pick up the appliance if it falls into water. Remove the plug from the wall socket immediately.
Do not use the appliance any more.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly after use (see ‘Cleaning and maintenance’).
• Never immerse the appliance, the plug or the power cord in water or other liquid.
• Never use the appliance without the baking plate.
• Keep house birds away from the appliance when it is in use; fumes released from the non-stick
coating when the baking plate is hot can cause stress to birds.
