Warning and Safety instructions

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect, switch off the appliance immedi-

ately. Turn off the gas supply tap, and disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Service Department.

Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.

If there is any damage to the ceramic surface the appliance

must be disconnected from the mains electricity and gas supplies immediate- ly and not used until it has been repaired. Danger of electric shock.

Repairs to the gas and electrical components of this appliance must

only be carried out by a suitably qualified person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be

undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near the appliance, care should be

taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.

Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods, e.g. poultry, may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking at a sufficiently high temperature for long enough. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high

temperatures and could catch fire.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances must not

be stored in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

If the appliance has not been used for a longer period of time it should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used

again. It is also advisable to have the appliance tested for safety. This should be done at regular intervals.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
