Warning and Safety instructions

A cooker hood above the grill

This appliance should not be used in conjunction with a hood that

uses paper or carbon filters.

The open grill should not be used with a recirculating cooker hood.

When placing this appliance below

an extractor, the outlet system of the extractor must be metallic throughout its length and heat proof.

The extractor outlet ducting must

comply with national and local building regulations.

Should any additional mechanical

ventilation be present then the effect of this additional ventilation on the combustion and flame performance of any existing appliances must be determined before any cooking appliances are used.

Distance from the grill to the hood

should be no less than 650 mm.

Correct usage

For safety reasons this appliance

must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

This appliance is intended for

domestic use only and is not to be used for commercial purposes.

Use this appliance for the

preparation of food only. Any other usage is at the owner's risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room and never switch it on with the heating element in the raised position. Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be reduced.

All fat filters in the extractor must be cleaned regularly. Fat build up

in the filter is a potential fire hazard.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

The appliance is only intended for

use by adults who have read these operating instructions.

This appliance is not a toy! To

avoid the risk of injury keep children well away and do not let them play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

appliance only when its operation has been clearly explained to them, and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

The appliance gets hot when in

use and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the appliance at all times.

To prevent the risk of children

burning themselves with potentially hot fat or oil please make sure that they cannot access the drain tap and open it.

Packaging, e.g. cling film,

polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Old appliances must be

disconnected from the power supply, any plug rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to ensure it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child's interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

When grilling or keeping food

warm, do not use pots and pans or similar on the open grill and never cover the rack (e.g. with aluminium foil) or use disposable aluminium foil containers. The resulting build-up of heat could damage the rack.

Do not drop anything on the glass

surface. Even a light object could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches and other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Protection from burning and scalding

Never leave the grill unattended

while grilling is taking place. Overheated oil or residues of food or fat on the lava rocks could flare up and even set the cooker hood alight.

Should anything catch fire despite

this do not attempt to put the flames out with water. Instead extinguish the flames using a suitable fire blanket, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.

For added protection, it is

advisable to use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of burning yourself.

Do not use the appliance as a

resting place for anything else. This could lead to a danger of the article beginning to melt or catching fire, if residual heat were still present or if the appliance was switched on by mistake.

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance was switched on by mistake.

Clean the lava rocks regularly and

replace them when necessary. Rocks which are saturated catch fire easily. The grill trough and the lava rock container should be cleaned after each use to keep them free of oil and fat.

Warning and Safety instructions

Appliance faults

In the event of damage or a defect,

switch off the appliance immedi ately. Disconnect completely from the electricity supply. If the appliance has not yet been fully installed, the electricity cable must be disconnected from the supply point. If connected via a plug and socket, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Contact the Service Department. Do not reconnect the appliance to the mains electricity supply until after it has been repaired.

If there is any damage to the glass

surface the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply immediately and not used until it has been repaired. Danger of electric shock.

Repairs must only be carried out

by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be very dangerous and could damage the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work. Never open the housing of the appliance.

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the appliance, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the hot appliance. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food and its temperature. Some foods may contain micro-organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking; therefore when cooking or reheating foods such as poultry, it is particularly important that the food is completely cooked through. If in doubt, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

While the appliance is under

guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
