This appliance is designed for domestic
cooking only. Use for any other purpose
could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in
the production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes
open or install a mechanical ventilation device,
(mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation,
for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualified
service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location of
the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and
then switch off at the mains and before cleaning
or carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use
and will retain heat even after you have
stopped cooking.
Take care when touching cooker, to minimize
the possibility of burns, always be certain that
the controls are in the OFF position and that it is
cool before attempting to clean the cooker.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable -
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface. Never
operate the cooker with wet hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a
hot surface.
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
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the
handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children should
not be allowed near the cooker at any time.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance. Teach them
not to play with controls or any other part of
the cooker.
Never store anything of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on
the cooker to reach them could be seriously
injured.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
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 stuff could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or
curtains etc. a safe distance away from your
cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the
cooker while it is in on.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available use a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
