ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst
Cleaning
n
n
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/
pads or stain removers on the surface.
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 fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
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.
If a Fault Occurs
If your appliance develops a fault and you are unable to solve
the problem, contact one of our service centres on the below
numbers:

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.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
n
n
DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn off the controls and then
smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
Cooking high moisture content foods
can create a ‘steam burst’ when the
oven door is opened. When opening
the oven stand well back and allow
any steam to disperse.
Always keep combustible materials,
e.g. curtains, and flammable liquids a
safe distance away from your cooker.
Take care that no water seeps into the
appliance.
n
n
Do not attempt to lift or move the appliance by
pulling the door handles.
n
n
NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
n
n
The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote control
system.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours.
