Use only pans that are suitable
for ceramic hobs.
We recommend stainless
steel and enamelled steel pans
because pots and pans with
copper or aluminium bases leave
traces on the hob that are difficult
to remove.
Glass-ceramic cookware is not
suitable because of its poor
conductivity.
1Pots and pans should have
thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This
ensures that there is the
maximum heat transfer from the hob
to the pan, making cooking quick and
energy efficient.
Never use a round bottomed Wok
even with a stand.
3The very best pans have bases
that are very slightly curved in
when cold. If you hold a ruler
across the bottom you will see a
small gap in the middle. When they
heat up the metal expands and lies
flat on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is
clean and dry to prevent any residue
burning onto the hob panel. This also
helps prevent scratches and deposits
(such as lime specks).
2 Minute Tour
Be safe
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the ceramic surface is very
strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object might cause the surface to crack. As soon as
any crack in the surface becomes visible disconnect the appliance immediately from the
supply and arrange for its repair. Care should be taken that no water seeps into the
appliance.
During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little children.
If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we strongly advise
that they are kept under supervision at all times.
If you have not used a ceramic electric cooker before, we recommend you read pages
18-19 where we describe some basic guidelines on how to use your cooker safely.
Electricity on
Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a
little use.
THE HOB More about the Hob on page 9
When you cook on a ceramic hob its very important to use the right sort of pans...

7The ratings of the cooking areas
are shown on the diagram
above.
Although the ceramic surface
is very strong, a heavy or
sharp falling object (a salt
cellar for example) might cause the
surface to crack. If you find a crack in
the surface immediately disconnect
the appliance from the supply and
arrange for its repair.
Care should be taken that no water
seeps into the appliance.

11 Never cook directly on the
surface.
10
The areas marked with two
concentric circles have an inner
and an outer element. Turn the
control knob clockwise to heat the
whole area for larger pans - turn it
the other way to just heat the inner
part for smaller pans.
9
Always use pans that are the
same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the
hob top. Using smaller pans wastes
heat, and any spillage will be burnt
on. Using a lid will help the contents
boil more quickly.
There are indicator lights for
each of the cooking areas.
These come on when a hob
control is turned on and stay lit while
the surface cools. Always take care
before touching the surface even
when it is turned off - it may be hotter
than you think.
The drawing by each knob
indicates which area that knob
controls. This one is the right
hand dual circuit control.
The setting you need depends on the
kind of pan you use and the quantity
of food. Higher settings are required
for larger quantities of food.
Always lift pans off the hob.
Sliding pans may cause marks
and scratches. Always turn the
control to the off position before
removing a pan.

THE GRILL More about the grill on page 10
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept
away.
Remove the pan from the
bottom of the grill compartment.
A cooling fan will start to run as
soon as the grill is turned on. The fan
will continue to run while the grill (or
oven) is on and for about 10min after
it is turned off. Never turn off the
power supply to the cooker before
the cooling fan stops.
After placing your food on the
grill tray pan, slide the grill pan
onto the side supports just
below the elements. Make sure
it is pushed right in and touches the
backstop.
The grill has two elements that
allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or only the
right hand half of the grill pan to be
heated.
Turn the control knob clockwise to
heat the whole grill - turn it the other
way to just heat the right hand half.
123
For best results preheat for 2
minutes with the grill pan in
position. After placing your food
on the grill pan grid, slide the grill pan
onto the side supports.
Make sure it is pushed right in and
touches the back stop.
Never close the grill door when
the grill is on.
4 5 The grill pan grid can be turned
over to give two grilling
positions.

THE OVENS More about the ovens on page 10
3When cooking foods with high
water content (e.g. oven chips)
there may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the
hotplate. This is perfectly normal.
The oven indicator light will
glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you
selected. It will then cycle on and off
during cooking.
2
Turn the oven knob to the
temperature you need.
A cooling fan will start to run as
soon as an oven is turned on. The
fan will continue to run while the
oven (or grill) is on and for about
10min after it is turned off. At low
oven settings the fan may cycle on
and off. Never turn off the power
supply to the cooker before the
cooling fan stops.

The fans in both ovens circulate
hot air continuously, which
means faster more even
cooking.
The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fanned oven are
generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.
The fan only setting. The fan
circulates air inside the oven but
the heating element is not
turned on. This setting is useful for
defrosting frozen foods.
Whole chickens and large joints of
meat should be defrosted in the
refrigerator. Do not defrost in a warm
oven or whilst the adjoining oven is
hot.
You can use the timer to turn
just one oven or both on and off
automatically. The start and
stop time must be the same for both
ovens but different cooking
temperatures can be set.
To set the time of day
More about the clock on page 13
Press and hold as above. At the
same time, press (-) or (+) until the
correct time shows. Don’t forget it’s a
24 hour clock. If you make a mistake
or press the wrong button, turn off
the power supply for a minute or two
and start again.

Press the button to turn on the oven
light.
If the oven light fails, turn off the
power supply before you change
the bulb.
See the ‘Troubleshooting’ section
for details on how to change the
oven light bulb.
Handyrack
The Handyrack should only be used
with the supplied meat tin which is
designed to fit it. Any other vessel
could be unstable.
The maximum weight which can be
held by the Handyrack is 5.5kg
(12lb).
The Handyrack fits to the left hand
oven door onl y. Food cooking on it is
easy to attend to, because it’s
accessible when the door is open. It
can be fitted at two different heights.
One of the oven shelves must be
removed and the other positioned to
suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its
highest position, other dishes can be
cooked on the bottom shelf position
of the oven.
PARTS CHECK
You should have these loose parts with your cooker
Handyrack.
The Handyrack is explained above. It
may have been left fitted. It is easily
removable.
Meat tin
When the Handyrack is used in its
lowest position, other dishes can be
cooked on the second shelf position
of the oven or standing on the base
of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack
Locate one side of it on the door
bracket.
Then spring the other side out to clip
it onto the other bracket.

GB/IE
The Hob
The hob control knobs can be turned either
clockwise or anticlockwise.
On the dual circuit sections (those with two
circles) turning the knob anticlockwise turns on
the inner circle, turning it the other way heats up
the whole area.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food
affects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use
in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or
dirty.
When cooking on the hob you may see the hob
area you are using switch off and on. This is
caused by a safety device that limits the
temperature of the hob. It is quite normal,
especially when cooking at high temperatures. If
it happens a lot with a particular pan however it
may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too
small or too uneven - for a ceramic hob.
Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob
and therefore must be cleaned off with care
immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before
trying to remove it.
If sugar or foods with high sugar content,
aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally
allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them
immediately from the hot cooking area using a
scraper to avoid any possible damage to the
surface. See ‘Cleaning your cooker’.
Never cut directly on the cooking surface.
Don't cook directly on the hob surface i.e.
without a pan or utensil
Don’t use the hob as a work surface
Don’t drag or slide utensils across the hob
surface
Don’t place anything between the base of the
pan and the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats,
aluminium foil, Wok stand)
Don't leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible
items on the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea
towels, frying pans containing oil)
Don't place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers on the hob
Don't leave the hob zones switched on unless
being used for cooking
Don't place large preserving pans or fish kettles
across two heating zones
Don't place utensils partly covering a heating
zone. Always place utensils centrally.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

The Grill
You should read ‘grill’ in the ‘2 Minute
Tour’ before all the following information.
Never close the grill door while the grill is
on.
Before using for the first time, run the grill full for
15 minutes (with the grill pan in position) to
dispel manufacturing odours. Open a window to
clear the smell.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
A cooling fan will start to run as soon as the grill
is turned on. The fan will continue to run while
the grill (or oven) is on and for about 10min after
it is turned off. Never turn off the power supply to
the cooker before the cooling fan stops.
For best results, especially on toast,
preheat the grill with the grill pan in the
cooking position for two minutes before
use.
The grill trivet can be removed and the food
placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to
preheat.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the
oven, under the grill. Remove the grill trivet and
place the dish onto the base of the grill pan.
Slide the grill pan along the floor of the grill
cavity.
The Ovens
You should read ‘the oven’ in the
‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following
information
Both ovens are fanned ovens. The fan circulates
hot air continuously which results in faster heat
transfer to the food.
Before using for the first time, heat the oven to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours.
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly
to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep
all trays and containers away from the sides of
the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 325mm (123/4") by 305mm
(12") for the main oven and 230mm (9”) by
320mm (121/2”) for the Tall oven.
Cooking high moisture
content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’,
when the oven door is
opened. When opening
the oven stand well
back and allow any
steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t
leave the door open for longer
than necessary, otherwise the
knobs may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes
on the same shelf. This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add
vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them
thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.

11
GB/IE
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Main Oven shelves
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refitted.
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until the
ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the
shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower
the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back.
The Handyrack
You should read ‘the oven’ in the
‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following
information
The Handyrack should only be used with the
supplied meat tin which is designed to fit it. Any
other vessel could be unstable.
The maximum weight which can be held by the
Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb).
When the Handyrack is used in its highest
position, other dishes can be cooked on the
bottom shelf position of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest
position, other dishes can be cooked on the
fourth shelf position of the oven.
Tall oven shelves
The tall oven is supplied with four normal
cooking shelves
and a plate warming shelf.

12
GB/IE
When using the tall oven you can cook on all
four shelves at the same time; but make sure
they are well spaced out to allow the hot air to
circulate.
Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven or
both on and off automatically. The start and stop
time must be the same for both ovens but
different cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on at
the same time as the timer is set for
automatic cooking, you must wait until
the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens
first. Then you can adjust either of them
manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over
the following 24 hour period.
If you want to cook more than one dish,
choose dishes which require
approximately the same time. However,
dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by
using small containers and covering
them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’
slightly by cooking smaller quantities or
placing in larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish
should be avoided if a long delay period is
planned, especially in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay
period, as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be
added to dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables which may discolour during a
delay period should be coated in melted fat or
immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures
on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if
there is a short delay period. Dishes containing
leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be
cooked automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly
defrosted before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.

* VEA is the Vitreous Enamel Association. Look
for aerosols with the VEA label.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning,
see the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance.
Grill
The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot
soapy water. After grilling meats or any foods
that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the
sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles
may be removed from the grid by using a nylon
brush.
Hob
It’s very easy to clean the Hob with a
recommended cleaner.
CAUTION — Do not use abrasive cleaners or
pads, oven aerosols or pads or stain removers
on the surface.
Daily care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights
are off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply a
small dab, about the size of a 10p piece, of
ceramic cooking cleaning cream in the centre of
each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper
towel and work the cleaning cream on the
cooking surface as if you were cleaning a
window. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface
with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while
cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area
surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper
towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is
on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit is
completely cooled down and follow the
instructions below (“Cleaning for burned-on
spills”). If you accidentally melt anything on the
Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing
soda, caustic cleaners, biological
powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or
salt. Don’t mix different cleaning
products - they may react together
with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are
shown in the chart below.
‡ Indicates how to clean after the oven linings
have been removed. See opposite page for how
to remove the oven linings
The oven control settings and cooking times given opposite are intended to be used
only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide
a preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When
using recipes, reduce the temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
The temperature in the fanned oven does not vary with height in the oven - so you
can use any shelf.
Always leave at least one runner space between shelves when 2 tier cooking. Place
baking trays, individual cake tins or baking dishes centrally on the oven shelf. For
best results pre-heat the oven until the oven indicator light goes out.

GB/IE
cooking or if you spill foods with a high sugar
content (preserves, tomato sauce, etc.),
REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor
scraper, while the unit is still hot. IMPORTANT:
Use an oven glove to protect your hand from
potential burns. Scrape the major spill or melted
material from the cooking zone and push into a
cold area. Then, turn the unit “OFF” and allow to
cool before cleaning further. After the cooking
surface cools down and the heat indicator lights
go off, use the daily care procedure as outlined
above.
Cleaning for burned-on spills
Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and
the hob is cool. Remove excess burned-on
substance with a single-edged razor scraper.
Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to
the surface and scrape off the burned-on matter
as you would scrape paint off of a window.
IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp
scraper.
When you have removed as much as possible
with the scraper clean using the daily care
procedure as described above.
To remove metal rub-off
Sliding pans on the hob - especially aluminium or
copper pans can leave marks on the surface.
These marks often appear like scratches, but
can be easily removed using the procedure
described above for cleaning spills. If the rub-off
marks are especially stubborn, use the cleaning
cream together with the razor scraper, using the
technique described above.
Control Panel and Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including
cream cleaners, e.g. Cif, on brushed
Stainless Steel surfaces. For best results use
a liquid detergent e.g. Domestos Multi
Surface Cleaner.
The control panel and control knobs should only
be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean
hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a
clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry
cloth. The oven doors should only be cleaned
with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy
water.
Cookers with window doors
On some models the oven door front panel can
be taken off so that the glass panels can be
cleaned. If the top edge of the oven door of your
cooker has a line of holes and there are screws
in the side edges then it can be taken apart for
cleaning.
Move the cooker forward to gain access to the
sides (see the ‘Moving the cooker’ section of
these instructions).
Open the oven door slightly and remove the front
panel fixing screws from the door sides (two
each side).
some window doors only
Carefully lift off the outer door panel. The inside
face of the glass panels can now be cleaned -
take care not to disturb or wet the door
insulation. Please note that the door is triple
glazed but the inner two panels are fixed and
should not be separated. After cleaning carefully
refit the outer door panel and replace the side
fixing screws.
The Main Oven
The oven has removable side lining panels that
have been coated with a special enamel that
partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks
on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of
manual cleaning needed.
The Cook & Clean panels work better
above 200°C. If you do most of your
cooking below this temperature,
occasionally remove the panels and wipe
with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and
replaced and the oven heated at 200°C
for about one hour. This will ensure the
Cook & Clean panels are working
effectively.

17
GB/IE
Don’t use steel wool (Brillo) or any other
materials that will scratch the surface. Don’t use
oven cleaning pads.
Removing the Oven Linings
The lining panels can be removed for cleaning
and for cleaning behind. Remove the shelves
first.
Remove the oven roof by sliding it forwards.
Each side of the oven is fixed with four fixing
screws. You don’t have to remove the screws to
remove the oven linings. Lift each side panel
upwards and they will slide off the screws. Then
pull them forwards.
Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.
When replacing the linings fit the side linings
first.
Make sure you fit the oven roof with the slot at
the front.
The Tall Oven
To clean the oven sides slide out the shelves,
unhook the supports from the oven sides and lift
out.
Moving your cooker
Switch off the electricity supply.
The cooker is heavy, two people may be
required to move it. There are two
levelling rollers at the back and also two
screw down levelling feet at the front.
Open the grill door and right hand oven door so
that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the
fascia panel as you move the oven. Lift the front
of the cooker slightly and pull forward.
Do not move the oven by pulling the door
handles or knobs.
Move the oven a bit at a time, checking behind it
to make sure the supply cable is not caught.
Make sure the electricity cable has sufficient
slack to move the cooker forward as you go
along.
If a stability chain is fitted, release it as
you ease the cooker out. Don’t forget to
refit it when you replace the cooker.
When you replace the cooker, again check
behind to make sure that the electricity cable is
not caught or trapped.

Disconnect the cooker immediately from the power supply and arrange for its repair.
Don’t use the cooker until after the repair. See the Customer care leaflet for how to
contact a service person.
My Hob is scratched
Have you used the correct cleaning methods?
Pots and pans with rough bottoms, or coarse particles (salt or sand) between the pan
and the surface of the hob may cause scratches.
Use the recommended cleaning methods. Make sure pan bottoms are smooth and clean.
Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time as a result of
cleaning.
Metal markings on the Hob
Do not slide aluminium or copper pans across the surface. Marks from aluminium and
copper pans as well as mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with the
cleaning cream.
The end caps of the control panel have come off
The end caps are designed to be removable for servicing access. If they are come off
(during cleaning for example) refit them by pushing the locating pins into the spring grip
retaining holes.
Steam is coming from the oven
When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some
steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door as there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
The oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section of the Easy Guide for a full list of recommended cleaning
materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it contains chemicals that may damage
the surfaces of your cooker.
The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill, can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t
leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘back
stop’ when grilling.
If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organisations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work
carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original
installer.
Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers
Where the cooker installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current
device (RCD), the combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may
occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the cooker circuit may need to
be protected by fitting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualified
electrician.

Troubleshooting
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the
recommended temperatures and shelf positions. See page 14. The oven control settings
and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require
the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a
higher temperature setting. Is the oven roof in?
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or tray larger than 320mm x 305mm.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a
baking tray is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the
door is held firmly against the seal.
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For
example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or
the front lowered). If the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.
Oven not coming on when turned on manually
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not there may be something wrong with the
power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the isolator switch? Is the clock flashing 0.00? If
so set it to the correct time of day. Has the Timer been set to AUTO by mistake?
If AUTO is showing on the clock display, press the ‘cook period’ button and reduce any
set cooking time showing to 0.00, with the (+) and (-) buttons. Press the button twice.
If this does not solve the problem contact a service person.
Oven not coming on when automatic cooking
Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by mistake?
Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older
If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may
need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service person.
Grill not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the cooker? Is the pan being used on the
runners, not the floor of the compartment? Is the grill tray pushed fully back to stop?
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered
under the guarantee) from a good electrical shop. Ask for an Edison screw fitting 15w
240v lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300 °C. See the
Customer Care leaflet for spares by mail order.
Open the oven door and remove the Handyrack (if fitted) and oven shelves.
Turn off the power supply.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning anticlockwise. Unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new
bulb, screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the electricity supply and check that the bulb
now lights.

General Safety Instructions
The cooker must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the installation
instructions. It should be serviced by a qualified
service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location of
the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and
then switch off at the mains and before cleaning
or carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with
use and will retain heat even after you
have stopped cooking.
Take care when touching the hob especially the
marked cooking areas. The glass surface of the
hob will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off. To minimize the possibility of burns,
always be certain that the hob controls are in the
OFF position and that the entire glass surface is
cool before attempting to clean the hob.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable -
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.
Never operate the cooker with wet
hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a
hot surface.
Always turn the surface unit controls off
before removing the pans.
Don’t place utensils on the hob surface when it is
in use. They may become hot and could cause
burns.
Clean the hob with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleansers can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the
handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children
should not be allowed near the cooker at
any time. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance. Teach them not to play with
controls or any other part of the cooker.
General Safety Instructions
Never store anything of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on
the cooker to reach them could be seriously
injured.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker
should be kept clean at all times as a build up in
fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.
We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have
cooled and the indicator light has gone
off. Sugar spills are the exception to this.
Please see ‘Cleaning your cooker’. When
the hob is cool, use only the
recommended cleaning cream to clean
the hob.
To avoid possible damage to the cooking
surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to the
glass surface when it is hot. Read and follow all
instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream
labels. After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper
towel to remove any cleaning cream residue.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so
may damage the hob and the pan.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or
curtains etc. a safe distance away from your
cooker.
Do not place or store items on top of the
glass hob surface when it is not in use.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the
cooker while it is in on.
Do not store or use combustible
materials, or flammable liquids in the
vicinity of this appliance.
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 hob 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 hob.
