This document applies to electric portable appliances for household and similar purposes that have a cooking function such as baking, roasting and grilling, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V.
Note 101: Examples of appliances that are within the scope of this standard are
——barbecues for indoor use;
——breadmakers;
——candy floss appliances;
——contact grills (griddles);
——cookers;
——food dehydrators;

——portable ovens;
——raclette grills;
——radiant grills;
——roasters;
——rotary grills;
——rotisseries;
——toasters;
——waffle irons;
Examples are illustrated in Figure 101.
Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may also be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. However, if the appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
——persons (including children) whose
? physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or
? lack of experience and knowledge
prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
——children playing with the appliance.
Note 102: Attention is drawn to the fact that
——for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements could be necessary;
——in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the relevant national regulatory authorities.
Note 103: This standard does not apply to
——stationary ovens and stationary grills (GB/T 4706.22);
——warming plates (GB/T 4706.55);
——frying pans and deep fat fryers (GB/T 4706.56);
——microwave ovens (GB/T 4706.21);
——barbecues for outdoor use (GB/T 4706.106);
——appliances intended to burn charcoal or similar combustible fuels;
——appliances intended for commercial catering;
——appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

3 Terms and definitions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows.
3.1 Definitions relating to physical characteristics
3.1.9 Replacement:
normal operation
operation of the appliance as specified in the following subclauses:
Note: Appliances not mentioned, but which nevertheless perform one of the functions, are operated as specified for this function as far as possible.
3.1.9.101 Barbecues are operated with food supports in the lowest position. Controls are adjusted to the highest setting, any covers or shields being positioned in accordance with the instructions.
Note: Barbecues are operated without water even if the use of water is recommended.
3.1.9.102 Breadmakers are operated using the most unfavourable cycle and ingredients specified in the instructions.
Note: The most unfavourable cycle may be for a function such as jam-making that allows the heating element and the kneading motor to operate simultaneously.
3.1.9.103 Candy floss appliances are operated without ingredients.
3.1.9.104 Food dehydrators are operated empty.
3.1.9.105 Hotplates, other than induction hotplates, are operated with vessels containing water. The vessels are made of unpolished commercial quality aluminium, have a flat bottom and are covered with a lid. A suitable vessel is specified in Figure 102. Controls are adjusted to their highest setting until the water boils and then adjusted so that the water simmers. Water is added to maintain the level during simmering.
Induction hot plates are operated with vessels as specified in Figure 103, containing cooking oil. Controls are adjusted to their highest setting until the oil temperature reaches 180 °C ± 4 °C, and are then adjusted so that this temperature is maintained. The oil temperature is measured 1 cm above the centre of the bottom of the vessel. For appliances which cannot heat the oil to 180 °C ± 4 °C, the control is maintained at its highest setting.
Induction wok hotplates are operated with a wok pan supplied by the manufacturer with the induction wok hotplate at the point of sale.
For all hotplates, the diameter of the bottom of the vessel is approximately equal to the diameter of the cooking zone and the quantity of liquid is specified in Table 101. The vessel is positioned centrally on the cooking zone.
Note 1: If several cooking zones are marked for one hotplate, the most unfavourable zone is used for the test.
Note 2: For non-circular cooking zones, the smallest non-circular vessel is used that will cover the cooking zone as far as possible, taking into account the hob rim and other vessels. The quantity of liquid is determined on the basis of the minor diameter of the cooking zone.
3.1.9.106 Ovens are operated with the door or drawer closed. Ovens having a thermostat are operated so that the mean temperature in the centre of the cavity is maintained at 240 °C ± 4 °C or at the value obtained with the thermostat adjusted to its highest setting, if this results in a lower temperature. Other ovens are operated so that the temperature in the centre of the cavity is maintained at 240 °C ± 15 °C by switching the supply on and off.
3.1.9.107 Pop-corn makers are operated with the container filled with the maximum quantity of corn seeds specified in the instructions and, where relevant, with the maximum quantity of oil specified in the instructions.
3.1.9.108 Roasters are operated with the lid closed. The mean temperature in the centre of the container is maintained at 240 °C ± 4 °C, if necessary by switching the supply on and off.
3.1.9.109 Radiant grills and rotary grills are operated with the controls adjusted in accordance with the instructions or, if instructions are not provided, with the controls adjusted to the highest setting. Doors or lids are open unless otherwise specified in the instructions.
Contact grills having a thermostat are operated with the thermostat adjusted to the highest setting. Other contact grills are operated so that the temperature at the centre of the heated surface is maintained at 275 °C ± 15 °C by switching the supply on and off.
Raclette grills are operated with doors or lids open, unless otherwise specified in the instructions. Controls are adjusted in accordance with the instructions, pans being in position or removed, whichever is more unfavourable.
