General Safety Instructions
Do not put kitchen foil or plastic onto the cooking
zones or within the ovens.
See ‘Cleaning your cooker’.
Don’t use the hob as a work surface
Don’t leave the hob zones switched on when not
in use.
Don’t place utensils on the hob.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
Induction heats up food and liquids very quickly;
take care until you are familiar with it.
Do not place empty cookware on the cooking
zones.
Don’t over heat fats and oils.
If a pan should catch
fire
Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan
on a surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available
use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher
Don’t heat unopened containers of food.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a ventilation
device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use may call for additional
ventilation, for example opening a window. Use
extractor fans or hoods when fitted.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualified service
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have
the installer show you the location of the cooker
control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always
allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the
mains and before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this
guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch
a hot surface. Never operate the cooker with wet
hands.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is in on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or
flammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fire. Never wear loose-
fitting or hanging clothes while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets
over the hotplate. Flammable material could be
ignited if brought in contact with a hot surface unit
and may cause severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they
will ignite if they get too hot.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of
fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
When deep frying frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium
high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot
fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is
cool.
Always use other electrical appliances away from
your cooker.
The cooker is designed for cooking foods only and
must not be used for any other purpose.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary.
The specification of this cooker should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, so take care when moving it.
When the cooker is not in use, ensure that the control
knobs are in the off position.

switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
