This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only.
Use for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty
or liability claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in which it
is used. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use may call for additional
ventilation, for example opening a window. Use extractor
fans or hoods when fi tted.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualifi ed service
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have
the installer show you the location of the cooker control
switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the
cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains and
before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specifi ed otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Take care when touching cooker, to minimize the
possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls
are in the OFF position and that it is cool before
attempting to clean the cooker.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot
surface. Never operate the cooker with wet hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a
glove. They might catch fi re if they touch a hot surface.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children should not be
allowed near the cooker at any time. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of
the cooker.
Never store anything of interest to children in cabinets
above a cooker - children climbing on the cooker to
reach them could be seriously injured.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker should
be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other
food stuff could result in a fi re.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc.
a safe distance away from your cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while
it is in on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or fl ammable
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Do not use water on grease fi res. Never pick up a
fl aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a fl aming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a well fi tting lid or baking tray. If available use a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fi re extinguisher.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fi re.
Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging clothes while using
the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored
in cabinets over the hotplate. 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
