… Safety precautions

Note on use
䡲
If the appliance is visibly damaged, do not use it. Contact our Customer
Services.
䡲
If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
䡲
Do not flambé food underneath the hood as the grease filters if laden with
grease could catch fire.
䡲
If frying on the cooking surface, do not leave the frying appliance unattend-
ed. The cooking oil in the frying appliance could overheat and catch fire.
Constantly monitor the temperature of the cooking oil, keeping it below the
temperature at which it can catch fire. Change the cooking oil regularly –
dirty oil catches fire more easily than clean oil.
䡲
Clean the filters regularly. Failure to do so can increase the fire hazard due
to the build-up of grease in the grease filter.
䡲
Do not operate the individual cooking zones of the cooking surface without
a pan on them or with an empty pan on them so as to avoid damaging the
appliance or the kitchen fittings through a build-up of heat. Avoid open fires
with oil, gas, wood and coal fired cookers.
䡲
Ensure there is adequate ventilation when the extraction fan is on so as to
avoid creating a disturbing underpressure in the kitchen and to achieve op-
timal air extraction.
䡲
Avoid a cross-current of air, which could blow the cooking vapours over
the cooking area.
