Safety

Safety

Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way
you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is
intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the
cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the
cooker and its use.

ANY TEXT MARKED WITH A warning triangle is to do with safety. PLEASE READ THESE TEXTS CAREFULLY, so that you

do not harm yourself, others or the cooker.

Children and the cooker

Children are naturally curious and interested in most
things, including the cooker. From a safety point of
view, we would like to emphasis the following for
those with children at home:

There should be worktops on both sides of the
cooker extending at least 40 cm to left and to right.
Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall
or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the
other side. The
prevent the cooker from tipping forwards if subjected
to an abnormal loading.

The

HOB GUARD (included or optional) should be

fitted and the
activated.

Children should be allowed to help with cooking,
but teach them that pans, hotplates and ovens become
hot and retain their heat for some time after use.

TOUCHING THESE CAN CAUSE BURNS.

NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted to

DOOR CATCH/DOOR CATCHES should be

Installation

Work on the cooker must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Work performed by unqualified persons
can damage the cooker, and may also lead to personal
injury and/or damage to property.

The cooker is heavy. Certain edges and corners
which will not normally be exposed may be sharp. Use
gloves when moving the cooker.

The

NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted, to prevent the

cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading.

When using the cooker

Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying,
or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other
flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off
all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.

SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water.

On the hob, use only pans which are intended for
use on hotplates. Use only ovenproof dishes and con­tainers in the oven.

Check that the cooker is switched off when not in
use. All controls should be turned off.

Cleaning

Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and
spillages give off smoke and odours when heated, and,
at worst, can cause fires.

Maintenance and service

Turn all controls off before changing any bulbs.

Service and repairs should be carried out by a
service company approved by the supplier. Use only
spare parts supplied by such companies.

At the end of the cooker’s life

Help prevent accidents when the cooker has reached
the end of its useful life. Make sure first that the lead
is completely disconnected from the electrical
supply (pull out the plug, or have the cooker safely
disconnected from the wall), then cut the electrical
lead at the point where it enters the cooker. Make sure
that the door catch/door catches have been deactivated.

The safety equipment

The safety equipment

There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides
of the cooker

(SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be

installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and
a worktop on the other.

Child safety is further improved if the following

equipment is fitted/in use:

Non-tip device

The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading. The non-tip device can only provide pro­tection when the cooker is pushed into its normal
position.

Before fitting the non-tip device, make sure the cooker has
been levelled and adjusted to the correct plinth height (see
“Installation” on p. 15).

1 Draw a line on the wall – after levelling the

cooker – along the top edge of the hob (see illus­tration).

2 The measurements shown can be applied

whether the non-tip device is fitted on the left or
the right (see illustration). Measure and mark
where the non-tip device is to be placed, then
screw it onto a solid material or a suitable rein­forcement or fixings.

NOTE! If the space between kitchen units is wider than

the cooker, you will need to alter the measurements
shown in the illustration if the cooker is to be centred.

3 If you alter the measurements, remember to

align the cooker correctly when pushing it into
place, so that the non-tip device enters the hole
on the cooker rear.

The hob guard (optional accessory)

The hob guard should be fitted to make it harder
for children to reach pans on the hob.

1 Press the plugs into the front holes.
2 Place the guard on the cooker with the plugs over the

edge of the hob.

3 Angle the guard downwards and then back upwards

so the edges on its two sides engage under the edge
of the hob.

4 Lock it in place with the rear plugs.

The safety equipment

The door catch

The door catch makes it harder for children to open the

oven door/storage drawer. The catches are already
activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be
deactivated if necessary.

A Press the catch down when you want to open the

door.

B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first

that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the
top edge of the door downwards and then a few
millimetres to the right.

C If you wish to activate the catch again, push

the catch on the top edge of the door a few
millimetres to the left.

Before the first use

Cleaning the cooker

Clean the cooker with a clean cloth, hot water and a
little washing-up liquid straight after use.

ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING AGENTS, except on some

parts of the cooker that might occasionally need
cleaning more thoroughly. Don’t forget to clean
underneath the oven vent cover. This can be washed
in a dishwasher.

Remember that the non-tip device does not work
when the cooker has been pulled forward to clean
behind it.

Wash the accessories

Wash the baking tray, oven dish etc. in hot water and
washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.

Heat the hotplates

NEVER USE

When supplied, the hotplates have been pretreated
with an anti-corrosion product which will provide bet­ter protection if the hotplates are heated without pans
the first time.

Heat one hotplate at a time on full power for no
more than five minutes. The hotplates will get very
hot, so be extra mindful of the safety of anyone near
the cooker during this procedure. Some smoke and
fumes are to be expected as the remaining solvent
evaporates. Finish heating the hotplates before you
first heat the oven.
