Always exercise extreme caution on handling the appliance while cooking. To open
the appliance, hold the black plastic part of the handle. This part of the handle
remains cold during cooking; the rest of the handle is made from cast aluminium
and will heat up on using the appliance. Do not touch this part while cooking or
immediately after cooking.
The appliance casing will heat up during cooking.
The top cover is manufactured in stainless steel, and as such will heat up a lot; do not
touch while cooking or immediately after cooking. If you need to adjust the top cover,
make sure you use an oven glove to prevent burning.
The base casing is manufactured in plastic and although it heats up, it will not melt. If
you need to move the appliance while cooking, make sure you take hold of it only by
the base; do not touch the top cover.
Leave the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
