-take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.

-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 burner making sure handles are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot be heated by other burners/pans.

SAFETY ADVICE

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.

-pull on the appliance or the supply able to unplug it from the electrical outlet.

-allow power cables of other appliances to come into contact.

-with hot parts of this appliance.

-expose the appliance to atmospheric agents, such as rain or sunlight.

-operate the appliance with wet hands.

-allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

-use misshapen pans which may be unstable.

-use round base woks directly on the pan supports.

-use fish kettles or large preserving pans across two burners.

-operate the appliance with wet parts of the body.

-operate the appliance when barefoot.

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 burners.

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.
