cooking of domestic food products, and should not be used for any other purpose.
•
Remove all packaging from the appliance before using for the first time.
•
Make sure you read and understand the instructions before using the appliance.
•
Keep electrical leads short so they do not drape over the appliance or the edge of the
worktop.
•
Keep all flammable materials (such as curtains, furnishings & clothing) away from the

•
Parts of the appliance may be hot during or immediately after use. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. Allow sufficient time for the
appliance to cool after switching off.
•
When opening the appliance door, take care to avoid skin contact with any steam
which may escape from the cooker.
•
Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or put items wrapped in foil under the

•
Do not use the ovens with the door inner glass panel removed, or the door choke
removed (see the Cleaning section for more information).
•
Do not drape tea towels over the flue vents or doors, as this creates a fire hazard.

Use oven gloves when removing hot food / dishes from the oven or grill. The oven /
grill and utensils will be very hot when in use.

Do not use foil on oven shelves, or allow foil to block the oven flue as this creates a
fire hazard preventing good heat circulation.

When cooking heavy items - e.g.; turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf out with the item
still on the shelf.
•
Drop-down doors: Do not place items on the door when open.
•
Switch off the electricity supply before replacing the oven light bulb, to avoid the pos-
