damage. All warranties will become void if
you do not follow these instructions.
General safety
•
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
•
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
•
Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet/
line protected by a fuse of suitable
capacity. Have the earth installation made
by a qualified electrician. Our company
shall not be liable for any problems arising
due to the appliance not being earthed in
accordance with the local regulations.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
•
Do not operate the appliance if it is
defective or has any visible damage.
•
Do not carry out any repairs or
modifications on the appliance.
•
Never wash down the appliance with
water! There is the risk of electric shock!
•
Never use the appliance when your
judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.
•
The appliance must be disconnected from
the mains during installation, maintenance,
cleaning and repair procedures.
•
Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in
your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures and may cause a fire since it
can ignite when it comes into contact with
hot surfaces.
•
Do not heat closed tins and glass jars in the
oven. The pressure that would build up in
the tin/jar may cause it to burst.
•
Do not place baking trays, dishes or
aluminium foil directly onto the bottom of
the oven. The heat accumulation might
damage the bottom of the oven.
•
Keep all ventilation slots clear of
obstructions.
•
The appliance may be hot when it is in
use. Never touch the hot burners, inner
sections of the oven, heaters etc.
•
Always use heat resistant oven gloves
when putting in or removing dishes from
the hot oven.
•
Do not use the appliance with the front
door glass removed or cracked.
•
The rear surface of the oven gets hot when
it is in use. Make sure that the gas/
electrical connection does not come into
contact
with
the
rear
surface
as
connections may get damaged.
•
Do not trap the mains cable between the
oven door and frame and do not route it
over hot surfaces as the cable insulation
may melt and cause a fire as a result of a
short circuit.
•
Make sure that the function knobs are
switched off after every use.
•
When using Gas, ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
•
Always keep children and infirm persons
away from the appliance when it is in use.
•
Only use the appliance for preparing food.
•
Use a deep pan, large enough to cover the
appropriate burner.
•
Always dry food thoroughly before
placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in
particular will spit and splatter if added too
quickly.
•
Never fill the pan more than one third full
of fat or oil.
•
Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
•
Do not fry too much food at once. This
lowers the temperature of the oil or fat and
results in fatty foods.
•
Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If
overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
•
Do not store flammable items in the oven.
•
Always keep the oven door gasket clean
