SOME SAFETY POINT

Do not use the appliance as a space heater.

If you smell gas

Open a window. Do not use any electrical switches. Immediately extinguish naked flames. Isolate appliance from gas mains supplies via the isolation stopcock. Contact local gas authority or emergency services as appropriate. In the event of food fire. Isolate appliance from electric / gas mains supplies if safe to do so. Try to extinguish flames with the appropriate equipment (fire blanket or extinguishing foam). Do not use water on cooking fat / oil fires.

If in difficulty call emergency services.

Do not store or use flammable products or aerosol containers near the hotplate or burners.

Never flambe‚ under an extractor - even if the ventilator is switched off.

The high flames can cause fire.

For your safety and that of your children

Do not store items that are attractive to children above or near the appliance.

Keep children well away from the appliance:

do not forget that some parts of the appliance or of the pans become very hot and dangerous during use, and will take time to cool down.

When cooking, do not use clothes that could catch fire and cause serious injury.

Some “Wok” cooking pots are unstable. Check with the manufacturer before purchasing.

Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans which may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is

125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable.

Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.

Carefully place all pans centrally over the burners.

Always position pan handles safely away from the front of the hotplate and out of danger, particularly from small children.

Never leave a chip pan unattended.

Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be used.

Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.

Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this hotplate.
