General Safety Instructions
The cooker must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the installation
instructions. It should be serviced by a qualified
service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location of
the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy reference.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off
at the mains and before cleaning or carrying out
any maintenance work, unless specified otherwise
in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use and
will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking.
Take care when touching the hob especially the
marked cooking areas. The glass surface of the hob
will retain heat after the controls have been turned
off. To minimize the possibility of burns, always be
certain that the hob controls are in the OFF position
and that the entire glass surface is cool before
attempting to clean the hob.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using
damp gloves might result in steam burns when
you touch a hot surface. Never operate the
cooker with wet hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot
surface.
Always turn the surface unit controls off before
removing the pans.
Don’t place utensils on the hob surface when it is in
use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Clean the hob with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit,
be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the
handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children should not
be allowed near the cooker at any time. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance. Teach them not to play
with controls or any other part of the cooker.
Never store anything of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on the
cooker to reach them could be seriously injured.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
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.
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. Please see ‘Cleaning
your cooker’. When the hob is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean the hob.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot. Read and follow all
instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream
labels. After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel
to remove any cleaning cream residue.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage the hob and the pan.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains
etc. a safe distance away from your cooker.
Do not place or store items on top of the glass
hob surface when it is not in use.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is in on.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. 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.
Never leave the hob unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking
and greasy spills may catch on fire.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored in cabinets over the hob. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in contact with
a hot surface unit and may cause severe burns.
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 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
