Be safe
Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the ceramic hob. Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object might cause the surface to crack or break.
As soon as any crack in the surface becomes visible disconnect the appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair.
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little children. If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.
We recommend you read ‘General Safety Instructions‘ (especially if you have not used a ceramic cooker before) where we describe some basic guidelines on how to use your cooker safely.
Electricity on
Make sure that the cooker is wired in and switched on.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 230°C and run for an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that people with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period.Warning
