oven steam out the back

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 multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
Hob Care
n
n
NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
n
n
NEVER cook directly on the hob surface (Fig.1-2).
n
n
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 in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
n
n
DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers, on the hob.
n
n
DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless
being used for cooking.
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
(Fig.1-3)
.
n
n
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
(Fig.1-4)
. Always turn the control to the OFF
position before removing a pan.
n
n
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, carefully slide the lid to the edge of the hob
surface and remove.
DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).
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
(Fig.1-5)
