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 ex-
tractor 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 speci-
fied otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot
with use and will retain heat even af-
ter you have stopped cooking.
Take care when touching cooker, to
minimize the possibility of burns, al-
ways be 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 sur-
face.
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.
Never store anything of interest to
children in cabinets above a cooker -
children climbing on the cooker to
reach them could be seriously in-
jured.
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 cover-
ings 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 ma-
terials, or flammable liquids in the vi-
cinity 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 multi-
purpose 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.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
clothes while using the appliance. Be
careful when reaching for items
stored in cabinets over the hotplate.
Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with a hot surface
unit and may cause severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats
and oils, as they will ignite if they get
too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer when-
ever possible to prevent overheating
fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as
it heats. 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 combina-
tion 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
35
frying at high or medium high tem-
peratures. Never try to move a pan of
hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until the fat is cool.
When the grill is on, do not use the
top of the flue (the slot along the back
of the cooker) for warming plates,
dishes, drying tea towels or softening
butter.
When using an electrical appliance
near the hotplate, be sure that the
cord of the appliance does not come
into contact with the hotplate.
Take care that no water seeps into
the appliance
Only certain types of glass, glass-ce-
ramic, earthenware or other glazed
containers are suitable for hotplate
cooking; others may break because
of the sudden change in temperature.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand
or hang on any part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover
shelves, linings or the oven roof.
Never heat unopened food contain-
ers. Pressure build up may make
container burst and cause injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking
foods only and must not be used for
any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for
heating the kitchen. This wastes fuel
and the control knobs may become
overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave
the oven door open for longer than
necessary.
The specification of this cooker
should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care
when moving it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure
that the control knobs are in the off
position.
