Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that
the rating on the data plate
corresponds to the voltage and
frequency of the household supply. This
data must correspond in order to avoid
risk of damage to the appliance.
Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested. Where there is any doubt, the
electrical wiring in the home should be
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
- it is switched off at the wall socket and
the plug removed.
(Pull on the plug, not the cable).
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.
- or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Use
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently heated.
Many factors will affect the overall
cooking time, including the size and
amount of food, its initial temperature,
changes to the recipe and the shape
and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking.
Therefore when cooking or reheating
food such as poultry, it is particularly
important that it is fully cooked through
(at temperatures over 70 °C for more
than 10 minutes). If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly
throughout the food being cooked. This
can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
