a)Touching hot parts
b)Being splashed with hot liquids
c)By pulling projecting pan handles and tipping hot liquids over themselves
19.Please remember that a small child’s skin is far more sensitive and therefore more easily burnt than an adult. You are, therefore, strongly advised to keep babies and young children well clear of this appliance during use and whilst it is cooling down after use.
20.Unstable or out of shape pans should not be used on the hob in case they cause spillage of hot liquids.
21.Pans must only be placed in the centre of electric rings and of grids on gas burners. Placing pans off centre or to one side may cause spillage.
22.Special care should be taken when using chip pans etc. in order to avoid splashing or spillage of hot oil. They should not be used unattended since overheated oil may boil over and ignite on the hot heating element or gas flame.
23.Parts of this appliance, particularly hob hot plates, retain heat for considerable periods after switching off. Care should, therefore, be taken when touching these areas before they have completely cooled down.
24.Petrol and other inflammable solvents should not be used in the vicinity of the appliance whilst it is in use.
25.When you are using the grill or the oven, some parts of the door can become very hot. Keep children away from these.
