n

Accessible parts will become hot during use and will 

retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. 

Keep babies and children away from the cooker and 

never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes when 

using the appliance.

n

n

DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.

Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position 

when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean 

the cooker.

n

n

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door 

open for longer than necessary, otherwise the 

control knobs may become very hot.

n

n

When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan 

is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the 

control knobs may become very hot.

n

n

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal 

scrapers to clean the

oven door glass or glass lid 

since they can scratch the surface, which may result 

in shattering of the glass.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and 

flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.

n

n

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker 

while it is on.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves 

might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. 

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it 

might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.

n

n

NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

n

n

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings 

or the oven roof.

n

n

DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate 

covers of any description. These may affect the safe 

use of your hotplate burners and are potentially 

hazardous to health.

n

n

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure 

build up may make the containers burst and cause 

injury.

n

n

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure 

that you position the handles away from the edge of 

the hotplate.

n

n

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that 

overlap the edges.

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.

n

n

WARNING! 

Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be 

dangerous and may result in fire.

n

n

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 slots along the back of 

the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or 

softening butter.

n

n

DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick 

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off 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 multi-purpose dry chemical 

or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Cooking high moisture content foods can 

create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door 

is opened. When opening the oven stand 

well back and allow any steam to disperse.
Take care that no water seeps into the 

appliance.

n

n

This appliance is heavy so take 

care when moving it.

n

n

The appliance is not intended to be operated by 

means of external timer or separated remote-control 

system.

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 

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot 

surface.
