Caution
■ This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. lt 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 artificial heart in your body, consult a doctor
before using the appliance.
■ Do not use a tea towel or similar materials 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. If the
surface is made of glass-cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid defeat
electrocution.
■ 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
completely cool.
