Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’ when an oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,

nn

and ￿ammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.

DO NOT store ￿ammable materials in the storage

nn

drawer or near this appliance.

DO NOT spray aerosols in the area of the cooker

nn

while it is on.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch ￿re if brought into contact with a hot surface.

nnNEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings

nn

or the oven roof.

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure

nn

build up may cause the containers to burst and cause injury.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure

nn

that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on ￿re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or

nn

oil can be dangerous and may result in ￿re.

Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat

nn

slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not use the top of the ￿ue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

DO NOT use water on grease ￿res and never pick

nn

up a ￿aming pan. Turn the controls o￿ and then smother a ￿aming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well ￿tting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type ￿re extinguisher.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

nnThis appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

Cleaning

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 stu￿ could result in a ￿re.

Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

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 cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
