electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed.
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR
APPLIANCE.
ALWAYS
●
Always make sure you remove all packaging and literature from inside the
oven/grill compartment 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 stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam
or heat to disperse.

Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the
oven/grill.
●
Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.
●
Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch before cleaning and
allow the appliance to cool.
●
Always make sure the shelves are in the correct position before switching on
the oven.
●
Always keep the oven/grill door closed when the appliance is not in use.

can cause a fire.

SAFETY ADVICE
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER 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.
