Safety advice
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• When using Gas, ensure that the room is well ventilated.
• Always keep children and infirm persons away from the product when it is in use.
• Only use the stove for preparing food.
• Never use the hob burners with the glass lid in the down position.
• Do not close the glass lid until the hob has cooled down.
• Wear oven gloves to open the oven door and also to handle food in the oven.
• Use a deep pan, large enough to cover the appropriate burner
• Always dry food thoroughly before placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular will spit
and splatter if added too quickly.
• Never fill the pan more than one third full of fat or oil.
• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Do not fry too much food at once. This lowers the temperature of the oil or fat and results in fatty
foods.
• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
• Do not use or store inflammable products (alcohol, petrol, benzene etc.) near the stove as these
pose a fire risk.
• Do not hang a dishtowel on the open glass lid as it may slide off and catch fire.
• Do not close the tempered glass lid while the burners are on, while the hob is still hot or
when the oven is being used. Allow the product to cool down before lowering the glass lid.
• Do not place heavy object on the glass lid.
• A stove without a flame failure device may only be used with a free standing cylinder
placed adjacent to but not closer than 300 mm to the stove.
In the event of a pan fire
• Switch off the Gas supply.
• Smother the flames with a blanket or damp cloth.
• Burns and injuries are usually caused by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
• Do NOT use water to extinguish an oil or fat fire.
If you smell gas:
• Turn off the gas supply at the bottle.
• Extinguish all naked flames.
• Do not operate any electrical appliances.
• Ventilate the area.
• Check for leaks as detailed on page 6 of this manual.
