OPERATION
DO'S AND DON'TS
DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the
first time.
DO allow the burners to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any
smells before the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT allow children near the appliance when in use. Turn pan handles away from the
front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the base of the hotplate.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the hotplate.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the appliance as a space heater.
LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY.
Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open
all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air;
any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will
enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an
unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation should be carried
out using a leak detector spray or soapy solution.
WARNING
The Glass lid has the tendency to snap shut towards the end of lowering.
This is caused by the travel lock action of the hinges as it is activated. Make
sure all fingers are removed from appliance when closing the lid.
