During Use
l
This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only.
It is not designed for commercial or industrial
purposes.
l
When in use a gas cooker will produce heat and
moisture in the room in which it has been installed.
Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air
vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood
with a venting hose.
l
When using the cooker for a long period time, the
ventilation should be improved, by opening a window
or increasing the extractor speed.
l
Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water.
Do not operate the cooker with wet hands.
l
Ensure the control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position
when not in use.
l
Do not store flammable materials such as oven
gloves, tea towels etc. in the drawer.
l
When using other electrical appliances, ensure the
cable does not come into contact with the hot
surfaces of the cooker.
l
Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on
the hob burners as unstable pans can cause an
accident by tipping or spillage.
l
Never leave the cooker unattended when cooking
with oil and fats.
l
This cooker should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.
l
Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob
burners. Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
l
Always ensure that the oven vent which is located
at the centre back of the hob is left unobstructed to
ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.
l
Perishable food, plastic items and areosols may be
affected by heat and should not be stored above
the cooker.
l
The appliance is fitted with a lid: this is designed as
a dust cover when closed, and as a splash-back
when open. Do not use for any other purpose.
l
After using the cooker, the lid MUST NOT be closed
until the hob and oven are completely cold. Do not
close the lid whilst the burners are lit as this will
cause the lid to become extremely HOT and could
cause a burn if touched. The lid MUST be raised
when any part of the appliance is in use. The gas
supply should always be turned off with the control
knob. Always ensure that the lid is free of any soilage
or spilling before opening it.

an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine
approved spare parts should be used.
