Russell Hobbs RHGC1 Cooktop User Manual


 
During Use
• When you first run your oven a certain smell will be emanated arising from the
insulation materials and the heater elements. For this reason, before using
your oven, run it empty at maximum temperature for 45 minutes. At the same
time you need to properly ventilate the environment in which the product is
installed.
• While your appliance operates, its outside surfaces heat up. The interior
surfaces of oven and the flue outlet are quite hot. Even if the appliance is
turned off, these parts keep its heat for a specific time. Do not touch onto hot
surfaces and keep children away.
• Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven.
• Always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
• Do not leave the cooker while cooking with solid or liquid oils. They may catch
fire on condition of extreme heating. Never pour water to the flames that are
caused by oil. Cover the saucepan or frypan with its cover in order to choke the
flame that has occured in this case and turn the cooker off.
• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window
or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
• While using the grill burner, keep the oven door open and always use the grill
deflector shield supplied with the product. Never use the grill burner with the
oven door closed.
• If you will not use the appliance for a long time, plug it off. Keep the main
control switch off. Also when you do not use the appliance, keep the gas valve
off.
• When the door of oven is open, do not leave anything on it. You may
unbalance your appliance.
• Protect your appliance against atmospheric effects. Do not leave it to effects
such as sun, rain, snow, powder etc.
• Do not keep flammable materials close while the appliance is operating.
