WARNING: Under no circumstances
should the bake element be
covered with aluminium foil. Nor
should a pan or tray be positioned
directly above the bake element.
Doing so would reflect the heat from
the bake element downwards. Heat to
the oven would be restricted and
overheating of the space below the
element would result in damage to the
oven enamel.
WARNING
Hot surfaces may cause
burns! Do not touch the hot surfaces
of the appliance. Use oven gloves.
Keep children away from the
appliance.
DANGER
Risk of fire by overheated
oil! When heating oil, do not leave it
unattended. Never try to extinguish a
fire with water! When oil has caught
fire, immediately cover the pot or pan
with a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to
do so and phone the fire service.
x
Clean your appliance regularly. This will prolong
it's good looks and enhance hygiene levels.
x
Use flat bottomed pots and pans when cooking on
the hotplates. This will maximise efficiency and
reduce electricity costs.
x
Keep children well away from the cooking
appliance. Explain the dangers to them. Being
safety conscious is being safe, not sorry.
x
Supervise the cooking process. Overcooked or
spoiled food is wasteful.
x
Leave about a 40 mm. air gap between baking tins
and the oven walls. Adequate air circulation is
important for good baking results.
x
Get into the habit of wearing oven gloves when
handling utensils in a hot oven. This will help to
avoid accidental burns.
x
Partly slide out the oven shelf before removing hot
dishes from the oven. This will prevent accidental
contact with the hot oven sides.
Do
Don’t
x
Use pots which are smaller than the hotplate
diameter. This wastes electricity and allows the pot
handles to overheat.
x
Leave the appliance unattended especially when
grilling. This is good practice and avoids accidents.
x
Place anything on the open oven door. The glass
is not a work surface and could get scratched.
x
Use abrasive cleaning materials. They will scratch
surfaces and fascia graphics.
x
Allow fat splashes to dry and bake onto the stove/
oven surface before cleaning them. It is easier to
clean spills while they are still slightly warm and
soft.
x
Put baking tins on the floor of the oven. This will
prevent heat circulation and spoil baking results.
x
Use the appliance to heat the home. Neither the
hotplates nor the oven were designed for this
purpose and damage could occur.
x
Allow pot handles to overhang the front of the
appliance. Children might be tempted to grab them
with harmful consequences.
