For Your Safety
ALWAYS:
- make sure you remove all packaging and dispose of safely.
- check the soundness of the appliance after it has been
unpacked.
- make sure you understand the controls before using the
appliance.
- keep children away from the appliance during use.
- take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the
controls.
- make sure the controls are turned off when you have finished
cooking and when not in use.
- disconnect from the power supply, and allow to cool, before
cleaning or performing maintenance.
- refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.
- keep the hob clean as a build up of grease or fat from
cooking can cause a fire.
- follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
- dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular, will cause frothing and
spitting if added too quickly.
- keep outside of pans clean and free from streaks of oil or
fat.
- place pans centrally over the hotplates making sure
handles are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot
be heated by other hotplates/pans.
- keep any ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
NEVER:
- attempt to install or repair the appliance without the
assistance of qualified personnel.
- store items above the appliance that children may attempt
to reach.
- heat up unopened food containers, as pressure can build
up causing the container to burst.
- use the appliance to heat up anything other than food.
- use the appliance as a room heater.
- dry any items on the hob.
- install the appliance next to curtains or other soft furnishings.
- allow children to play with or tamper with the controls.
- leave children unsupervised where cooking appliances are
installed as all the cooking surfaces get hot during and after
use.
- store chemicals, foodstuffs or pressurised containers in or
on the appliance, or in cabinets immediately above or next
to the appliance.
- use flammable or plastic items on or near the hob.
- use adapters, multiple sockets and/or extension leads.
- fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
- fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This
only lowers the temperature or the oil or fat too much, resulting
in greasy food.

the electrical outlet.
- allow power cables of other appliances to come into contact
with hot parts of this appliance.

rain or sunlight.

SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for
deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in close
proximity to the cooking areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. Turn off the hotplates.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and
rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
