INTRODUCTION

Your new hob is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if
the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this
booklet.

When first using the hob ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use
an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is
due to temporary finish on elements.

May we wish you many years of carefree successful cooking and remember

our Home Economics Department is always available for advice if you write to:

To help make best use of your cooking equipment,
please read this booklet carefully.

The hob is designed specifically for domestic use and
responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other
installation.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

When used properly, your appliance is completely safe but as with any
electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed.

PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR
APPLIANCE.

ALWAYS

SAFETY ADVICE

Always make sure you remove all packaging and literature from the appliance before

●

switching on for the first time.
Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.

●

Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces will get

●

extremely hot during and after cooking.
Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking and when

●

not in use.
Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.

●

Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch and allow the appliance to cool

●

before cleaning .
Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause

●

a fire.
Always follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the

●

possibility of bacterial growth.
Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.

●

Always use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating

●

area.
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.

●

Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

●

Always place pans centrally over the hotplate making sure handles are kept away from

●

the edge of the hob and cannot become heated by other hoplates / pans.

IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliances there could be some fire risk attached to
the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not
be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned
cooking areas.

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:

1. TURN OFF THE COOKING APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the
flames and extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.
