n

Do not attempt to lift or move the appliance by 

pulling the door handles.

n

NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

n

The appliance is not intended to be operated by 

means of external timer or separated remote control 

system.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or 

other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking; 

others may break because of the sudden change in 

temperature. 

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

n

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/

pads or stain removers on the surface.

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.

If a Fault Occurs

If your appliance develops a fault and you are unable to solve 

the problem, contact one of our service centres on the below 

numbers:
UK Service Centre Tel: 0844 847 6711. 

Republic of Ireland Service Centre Tel: 051 302 333

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

NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

n

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings 

or the oven roof.

n

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure 

build up may make the containers burst and cause 

injury.

n

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that 

you position the handles away from the edge of the 

hotplate.

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

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.

n

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.

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.
Always keep combustible materials, 

e.g. curtains, and flammable liquids a 

safe distance away from your cooker.
Take care that no water seeps into the 

appliance.
