General Safety Instructions

The installation must be in accordance with the
installation instructions and comply with the
relevant regulations and also the local gas and
electricity supply companies' requirements.
If you smell gas
• Don't turn electric switches on or off.
• Don't smoke
• Don't use naked flames
• Do turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
• Do open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
• Call your gas supplier.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is used. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a mechanical 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.
Take care when touching cooker, to minimize the
possibility of burns, always make certain that the
controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool
before attempting to clean the cooker.
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 use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot
surface.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the
handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children should not be
allowed near the cooker at any time. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance. Teach them not to play with controls or
any other part of the cooker.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker
should be kept clean at all times as a build up in
fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains
etc. a safe distance away from your cooker.
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.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. 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.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fire.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they
will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
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.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. 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.
