

When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan

is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the

control knobs may become very hot.



Note that this appliance has a cooling fan. When the

oven or grill is in operation the fan will run to cool

the fascia and control knobs.

Cooking high moisture content foods can

create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door

is opened. When opening the oven stand

well back and allow any steam to disperse.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g.

curtains, and ammable liquids a safe

distance away from your cooker.



DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker

while it is on.



Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp

gloves might result in steam burns when you touch

a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth

in place of a glove – it might catch re if brought into

contact with a hot surface.



NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.



DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings

or the oven roof.



NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure

build up may make the containers burst and cause

injury.



DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure

that you position the handles away from the edge of

the hotplate.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.

Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may

catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible

to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.



WARNING!

Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be

dangerous and may result in re.



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 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.

DO NOT use the top of the ue (the slot along the back of

the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or

softening butter.



DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick

up a aming pan. Turn o the controls and then

smother a aming pan on a surface unit by covering

the pan completely with a well-tting lid or baking

tray. If available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or

foam-type re extinguisher.



This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

Hob Care



DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.

DO NOT leave utensils, foodstus or combustible items on

the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans

containing oil).



DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic

containers, on the hob.



DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless

being used for cooking.



NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the

ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling

object (e.g. a salt cellar) may cause the surface to crack or break.



Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the

appliance immediately from the supply and arrange

for its repair.

Always LIFT pans o the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks

and scratches. Always turn the control to the OFF position

before removing a pan.

DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the

hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).

Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.

Only certain types of stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or

cast iron pans with enamelled bases are suitable for induction

hob cooking.

The ceramic surface should be washed after use to prevent it

from becoming scratched or dirty. However, you should clean

the hob with caution as some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.



DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/

pads or stain removers on the surface.

We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas

until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone o.

Sugar spills are the exception to this (see ‘Cleaning Your

Cooker’). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to

remove any cleaning cream residue.

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer

trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe

away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to

prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by

cooking vapours.
