■
Do not use the unit as a toy.
■
The inside of the storage compartment
becomes hot when the oven is used. Do not
use the storage compartment for
flammable materials or materials that may
become distorted by heat.
■
Do not place any flammable materials in the
oven.
■
Never pour water directly in the hot oven, as
it can damage the enamel.
■
Never sit or stand on the open oven door.
■
Do not clean the oven with a high pressure
hose. This could cause a short circuit in the
electric wiring.
■
Always cool the oven with a closed oven
door.
■
Any spillage should be removed immedia-
tely, particularly red cabbage, apple sauce
and rhubarb. These can leave permanent
spots on the enamel or on stainless steel.
Things to watch for
■
The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter.
■
The furniture that is in contact with the
appliance must be heat resistant (T 90 °C).
■
During repair and cleaning the appliance
needs to be disconnected from the power
supply (electricity and gas). Remove the
plug from the wall socket or turn the switch
in the metre cupboard to zero. Turn off the
gas tap in the feeder pipe.
■
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
■
This appliance must only be used for the
purpose for which it is designed, i.e. the
preparation of food. Use for any other
purpose should be considered to be
improper and dangerous. We accept no
responsibility whatsoever for damage
caused by incorrect, improper or irrational
use of the appliance.
■
When boiling and frying the hob gets hot.
Please pay close attention to small
children.
■
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the appliance when
preparing dishes.
■
Never cover the base of the oven with
aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on
the base of the oven. The foil will block the
heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking
result will therefore not be satisfactory.
■
Do not use the appliance to heat the
kitchen. This will produce a damp
atmosphere.
■
When a gas cooking appliance is being
used heat and moisture is produced in the
area where the appliance is situated. Make
sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated:
open natural ventilation openings (min.
100 cm
2
) or fit a mechanical ventilator
(extractor). When the hob is used for longer
periods extra ventilation may be needed,
such as an open window or a higher setting
on the ventilator (extractor).
■
The glass oven door can heat up when using
the oven at maximum temperature for a long
time (e.g. during grilling). Act with care if
children are nearby.
■
Cords to electrical appliances - e.g.
a mixer - can get caught between the door of
the convector oven or may accidentally touch
the cooking zones.
■
Easy accessible parts of the hob can get
hot. Please pay close attention to small
children.
