making sure handles are kept away from the edge
of the hob and cannot become heated by other
hotplates or pans.
• Always take care to avoid heat or steam burns
when operating the controls.
• Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall
switch and allow the appliance to cool before
cleaning (or changing an oven lamp if fitted).
• Always make sure the shelves are in the correct
position before switching on the oven or grill.

and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial

service engineer.

the contents will be hot.

appliance at the wall switch should any glass
panel (if fitted) crack or shatter and then DO NOT

doors.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE
In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE
WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR
DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and
extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60
MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often
caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing
outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT
OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.
Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.
! The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product.
These individuals should, at the very least, be
supervised by someone who assumes responsibility
for their safety or receive preliminary instructions
relating to the operation of the appliance.
