Description of the appliance

nstallation and connection

The appliance may be connected

via a plug and fused socket. Howe-

ver, if the appliance is to be connected

to an isolator switch this must be done

by a suitably qualified and competent

person in accordance with local and

national safety regulations. The manu-

facturer cannot be held liable for the

consequences of incorrect installation

or connection.

The electrical safety of this applian-

ce can only be guaranteed when

continuity is complete between the ap-

pliance and an effective earthing sys-

tem which complies with local and na-

tional safety regulations.

It is imperative that this basic safety re-

quirement is tested and where there is

any doubt, the electrical system of the

house should be tested by a qualified

electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electrical supply by an

extension lead. Extension leads do not

guarantee the required safety of the ap-

pliance.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile

installations such as caravans, aircraft

etc. However it may be suitable for

such usage subject to a risk assess-

ment of the installation being carried

out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Do not install the appliance too

high. It should be at a suitable

height for all users to be able to safely

access all cooking levels and contai-

ners. Otherwise any spillages could

cause burns or scalding.

Do not let children access the ap-

pliance or its controls. Supervise its

use by the elderly or infirm.

For safety reasons this appliance

must only be operated as a built-in

appliance. This is necessary to ensure

that all electrical components are shiel-

ded.

This appliance is intended exclusi-

vely for domestic use. It should not

be used for commercial purposes.

Only use the appliance to prepare

food in the home. Any other usage

is at the owner’s own risk and could be

dangerous. The manufacturer cannot

sed by improper use of the appliance.
