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 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
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.
Never store anything of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on
the cooker to reach them could be seriously
injured.
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
