outlet/line protected by a fuse of suitable
capacity. Have the earth installation made
by a qualified electrician. Our company
shall not be liable for any problems arising
due to the appliance not being earthed in
accordance with the local regulations.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is
defective or has any visible damage.
• Do not carry out any repairs or
modifications on the appliance. However,
some issues may remedied that do not
require any repairs or modifications. See

• Never wash down the appliance with
water! There is the risk of electric shock!
• Never use the appliance when your
judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.
• The appliance must be disconnected from
the mains during installation, maintenance,
cleaning and repair procedures.
• Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in
your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures and may cause a fire since it
can ignite when it comes into contact with
hot surfaces.
• Do not use the appliance for heating
closed tins and glass jars. The pressure
that would build up in the tin/jar may
cause it to burst.
• Do not place any flammable materials
close to the appliance as the sides may
become hot during use.
• Keep all ventilation slots clear of
obstructions.
• The appliance may be hot when it is in
use. Never touch the hot burners, inner
sections of the oven, heaters etc.
• Make sure that the function knobs are
switched off after every use.
• When using Gas, ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
• Ventilation is vital for the efficient
performance of all appliances and for the
safety of the occupants of the room in
which the appliance is installed.
• Always keep children and infirm persons
away from the appliance when it is in use.
• Only use the appliance for preparing food.
• Use a deep pan, large enough to cover
the appropriate burner.
• Always dry food thoroughly before placing
it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular
will spit and splatter if added too quickly.
• Never fill the pan more than one third full
of fat or oil.
• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Do not fry too much food at once. This
lowers the temperature of the oil or fat
and results in fatty foods.
• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If
overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
• Do not use or store inflammable products
(alcohol, petrol, benzene etc.) near the

Important information for the installer
This appliance may only be installed by a
registered LP Gas installer registered with
the LPGSASA. (Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Association of Southern Africa).
The appliance must be installed in
accordance with the requirements of SANS
10087-1 or SANS 827 and any fire

into the room, therefore good room
ventilation is essential for the safe operation
of your appliance. If there is no window or
door available for room ventilation, extra
ventilation must be installed.
The appliance may be located in a kitchen,
kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting room, but not in
a room containing a bath or shower. The
