and therefore easily burnt. You are, therefore, strongly advised
to keep babies and young children well clear of this appliance
during use and whilst it is cooling down after use.

17 Unstable or out of shape pans should not be used on the hob in

case they cause spillage of hot liquids by tipping o ver .

18 Pans must only be placed in the centre of the b urners. Placing

pans off centre may cause cooking irregularites.

19 Special care should be taken when using chip pans etc. in order

to avoid splashing or spillage of hot oil. The y should not be used
unattended since overheated oil may boil over and could also
ignite.

20 Parts of this appliance, cooking surfaces, retain heat for

considerable periods after switching off. Care should, therefore ,
be taken when touching these areas before they ha ve completely
cooled down.

21 Remember to keep c hildren away from the appliance when

you use the grill or oven, since these parts become very
hot.
