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 hotplate 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
hotplate. 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 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.
When the grill is on, 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.
When using an electrical appliance near the
hotplate, be sure that the cord of the appliance
does not come into contact with the hotplate.
Take care that no water seeps into the
appliance
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.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
any part of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause
injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking foods only
and must not be used for any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven
door open for longer than necessary.
The specification of this cooker should not be
altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving
it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure that the
