Warning
During Use
■
The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the kitchen is well ventilated : keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical
extractor hood).
■ The heating and cooking surfaces of
the appliance become hot when they
are in use, take all due precautions.
■
Never leave the appliance unattended
when cooking with oil and fats. If fat
and oil overheats, it can ignite
extremely quickly.
■ Do not modify this appliance.
■ Do not use this appliance if it is in
contact with water. Do not operate
this appliance with wet hands.
■ Do not use large cloths, tea towels or
similar as the ends could touch the
flames and catch fire.
■ Unstable or misshapen pans should
not be used on the appliance as they
can cause an accident by tipping or
spillage.

■ Do not use or store flammable
materials in the appliance storage
drawer or near this appliance.
■ Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of
this appliance while it is in operaiton.
■ This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or
industrial purposes.
■ Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
■ Use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans.
■ Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
■ Take care not to let pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer
through the material quicker with the risk of burning yourself.
■ Only ever use the burners after placing pots and pans on them. Do not heat up any empty
pots or pans.
■ Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the appliance.
■ When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with
the appliance surfaces of the cooking appliance.
■ If you have any mechanical parts eg. an artifical heart in your body, consult a doctor before
using the appliance.
■ Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire
on a hot burner.
■ When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top plate cooking.
■ To minimise the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or center of the top plate without extending over
adjacent burners.
■ Always turn burner controls off before removing cookware.
■ Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
■ Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
■ 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.
■ Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
■ Perishable food, plastic items and
aerosols may be affected by heat and
should not stored above or below the
appliance.
■ Ensure the control knobs are in the
‘OFF’ position when not in use.
