For Your Own Safety
ALWAYS
• Always make sure you understand the controls prior to use.
• Always take care when touching any part of the cooker that may be hot. Use good
quality dry oven gloves when removing or replacing food or dishes.
• Always stand back when opening the oven door to allow any build-up of heat or
steam to disperse.
• Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when not in use to prevent accidents.
• Always make sure that the roof, side and back panels, and shelves are fitted
correctly before using the oven or grill.
• Always keep your cooker clean, as a build-up of grease or fat from cooking may
be a fire hazard.
• Always switch off at the mains supply before cleaning your cooker.
• Always supervise children and pets, particularly when grilling, as exposed parts of
the grill may become hot.
• Always place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and make sure that they are
stable.
• Always keep handles away from the edge of the hob and any other burners. For
added safety you should consider using a suitable hob guard.
• Always make sure that all the controls are switched off when you finish cooking.
• Always remember that your cooker may stay hot for a time even after you have
finished cooking.
• Always keep ventilation slots at the rear of the cooker clear of obstructions.
