For your safety and that of your children
• Do not store items that are attractive to children above or near
the appliance.
• Keep children well away from the appliance:
do not forget that some parts of the appliance or of the pans
become very hot and dangerous during use, and will take time
to cool down.
• When cooking, do not use clothes that could catch fire and
cause serious injury.
• Some “Wok” cooking pots are unstable. Check with the
manufacturer before purchasing.
• Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans which may tilt easily
and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single
egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is
125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable.
Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using
pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour
the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.
• Carefully place all pans centrally over the burners.
• Always position pan handles safely away from the front of the
hotplate and out of danger, particularly from small children.
• Never leave a chip pan unattended.
• Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be
used.
• Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could
damage the pan supports.
• Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on
this hotplate.
DISASSEMBLE OF WORK-TOP
