and qualified installer in accordance with the instructions
provided. Incorrect installation may result in bodily harm,
damage to property, and void the product’s warranty.
•
NOTE:
When the oven is first switched on, it may give
off an unpleasant smell. This is due to the bonding agent
used for the insulating panels within the oven, and is
completely normal. To remedy this fragrance, follow the
instructions on page 22 titled ‘Before First Use’.
•
Never drag or push the appliance once it is unpacked.
The appliance should instead be lifted in to place in order
to avoid damaging your floor.
•
Do not stand or sit on the open oven door, nor on the
appliance itself, as this may result in an accident, cause
damage to the appliance and void your warranty.
•
This appliance is intended for domestic use only, and
must only be used for food preparation.
•
Adults and children must not operate the appliance
without supervision if they do not have the physical
or mental ability, or if they lack the knowledge and
experience required to operate the appliance correctly.
•
Never allow children to play with the appliance. Do not
allow children to go near the oven when it is operating,
especially when the grill is on. Children must be kept a
safe distance from the appliance at all times.
•
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or

•
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements or placing objects by the cooktop.
Never touch the cooktop, the oven cavity, or the oven
steam outlets while in operation, as they may be hot.
Always open the door care carefully when the oven is in
use, as hot steam or heat may escape.
•
Never cook meals on the floor of the oven cavity. Do not
leave the baking tray on the floor of the cavity, nor should
you cover the floor with aluminium foil.
•
Do not place cookware on the cavity floor, as this will
cause uneven distribution of heat. The cooking times will
no longer be correct, and the enamel will be damaged.
•
Never pour the water directly into a hot oven, as this may
damage the appliance or generate steam that is harmful.
•
If the hob plates are in operation for a prolonged period of
time, the space between them can also become hot.
•
Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using
special cookware. Aluminium foil and plastic containers
can melt and stick on hot burners.
•
Never operate the cooktop when there is nothing on
top. Do not heat empty pots or pans, as this will damage
the pan’s base. Do not allow saucepans to boil dry, in
particular enamel and aluminium saucepans.
•
The base of the cookware used for the cooktop must
be clean, dry and flat, as uneven surfaces can affect the
cooking process or damage the cooktop surface.
•
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
should not be placed on the cooktop as they can get hot.
•
Do not use a roasting dish that is so large it has to be
heated using two burners, as this will cause too much
heat to accumulate, damaging your appliance.
•
Never leave or store flammable objects on the hob or
in the oven, it is suggested to store cooking oils in a
cupboard away from the appliance.
•
Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave
fat or oil to cook unattended. Should the oil ignite, do
not try and put it out by pouring water on it. Cover the
pan immediately with a lid or plate, and switch off the
cooktop. Allow the cookware to cool down on the cooktop
before removing.
•
Be careful with food that is prepared using drinks with
a high alcohol content, such as wine, rum or cognac.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures, and in some
circumstances the alcoholic vapors can catch fire. Only
use small quantities of drinks with a high alcohol content
and hope the appliance door carefully when doing so.
•
After cooking, only leave the oven to cool down with the
door closed. The fronts of adjacent units may eventually
become damaged by the emitted heat, even if you only
leave the door slightly open.
•
Never trap the mains cable of electrical appliances in the
appliance door or pull the cable over the hob plates when
they are hot, as the cable insulation may melt.
