• Take care when using the appliance.
The grill plate is very hot and can
cause burns when you touch it.
• The grill plate supplied with this
appliance is finished with a non-stick
PTFE coating. On heating this coating,
it may release small amounts of gases
which are totally harmless to humans.
However, the nervous system of birds
has been found to be extremely
sensitive to these gases. Therefore,
this appliance should not be used
near cage birds (for example, tropical
birds such as parrots).
• Do not use sharp tools on the
hotplate, such as metal spatulas,
knives and forks. This may damage
the non-stick coating.
• Never attempt to cool the appliance
down by pouring water over it. This is
dangerous and may damage the
appliance.
• The base of the appliance will be hot
when the appliance is switched on.
Use a heat-resistant (non-flammable)
table mat if you are in doubt as to
whether the surface is able to
withstand the heat.
• Charcoal or similar combustible fuels
must not be used with this appliance.
