General Safety Instructions
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the installation
instructions. The installation must comply with
the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements
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 eff ective ventilation,
for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
The range should be serviced by a qualifi ed
service engineer and only approved parts used.
Have the installer show you the location of the
range circuit breaker. Mark it for easy reference.
Always allow the range to cool and then switch
off at the circuit breaker before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specifi ed otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the range become hot with use and
will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking.
Take care when touching range, 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 range.
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.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the range
should be kept clean at all times as a build up in
fats and other food stuff could result in a fi re.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or
curtains etc. a safe distance away from your
range.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range
while it is in use.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
or fl ammable liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as
they will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
Never leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always
heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry
pans should be only a maximum of 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 fry pan. Wait
until the fat is cool.
