 

NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

 

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings 
or the oven roof.

 

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure 
build up may make the containers burst and cause 
injury.

 

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that 
you position the handles away from the edge of the 
hotplate.

 

Make sure to use adequately sized pans with flat 
bottoms that are large enough to cover the surface 
of the hotplate heating area. Using undersized 
pans will expose a portion of the hotplate surface 
to direct contact and may result in the ignition of 
clothing.

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

 

NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat 
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 flue (the slot along the back of 
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or 
softening butter.

 

DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick 
up a flaming pan. Turn off the controls and then 
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.

 

This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

Hob Care

 

DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.

Do not leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on 
the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans 
containing oil).

 

DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic 
containers, on the hob.

 

DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless 
being used for cooking.

 

NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the 
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling 
object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or 
break.

 

Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the 
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange 
for its repair.

Always LIFT pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks 
and scratches. Always turn the control to the OFF position 
before removing a pan.

DO NOT

 place anything between the base of the pan and the 

hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).

Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.

Only certain types stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast 
iron pans with enamelled bases are suitable for induction hob 
cooking.

The ceramic surface should be washed after use to prevent it 
from becoming scratched or dirty. 

However, you should clean 

the hob with caution as some cleaners can produce noxious 
fumes if applied to a hot surface.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads 
or stain removers on the surface.

We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas 
until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. 
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see 

‘Cleaning your 

Cooker’

). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to 

remove any cleaning cream residue. 

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer 
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe 
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to 
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by 
cooking vapours.

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 
stuff could result in a fire.

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