•Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the cooker, before using the cooker.

•Before assembling the cooker, remove all the parts that are not firmly attached to it, in particular the pan supports and burners. To lighten the weight of the cooker, the accessories inside the ovens may also be removed, preventing accidental damage during the overturning process.

•Never store items that children may attempt to reach above the appliance.

•Whenever the cooker is in use and in the necessary cooling down period, take care to position the saucepans in a way to prevent burns or overturning. Avoid leaving the oven door open during use and immediately after cooking, the heating elements will still be hot.

•Only allow older children to use the cooker with adult supervision.

Use

•This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

•Remove all stickers and film from the glass doors and the stainless steel cabinet.

•Cookers become very hot with use, and retain their heat for long periods after use. Care should be taken to avoid touching the hob area and the inside of the oven until fully cooled.

•There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used carelessly or incorrectly.

•Cables from other electrical appliances must not touch the hot surface of the appliance or hot cookware.

•Overheated fat and oil can ignite quickly. When cooking with fat or oil (e.g. frying chips) do not leave the appliance unattended.

•Do not leave cookware containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the oven or on the hob in case they are inadvertently switched ON.

•Ensure that you switch the gas hobs and ovens OFF after use.

•Do not ignite a gas hob without a saucepan over the burner.

•When in use the gas hob will produce heat and moisture in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a vented outlet.

•When using the hob for a long period of time, opening a window or increasing the extractor speed should improve the ventilation.

•All the cooker's vents must be free of obstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.

•Do not use the cooker if it is in contact with water.

•Do not operate the cooker with wet hands.

•Always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors during cooking or at the end of it, to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

•Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as they can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.

•Always support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position.

•The cooker must not be used as a work surface or as a storage surface.

•Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.

•Do not allow heatproof cooking materials, e.g. roasting bags, to come into contact with the oven elements.
