4 How to use the hob
General information about cooking
DANGER
Risk of fire over by overheated oil!
When you heat oil, do not leave it unattended.
WARNING
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cook top may
ignite.
WARNING
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid or a fire blanket, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
WARNING
Only use flat bottomed pots or pans.
Use pans which have sufficient capacity for
the amount of food being cooked so they
don't boil over and cause unnecessary clean-
ing.
WARNING
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive
amounts of ice.
WARNING
Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cook top, even when it
is not being used. If the cook top is inadver-
tently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from
the cook top or oven vent after it is turned off
may cause them to ignite also.
WARNING
If there is a fire in the oven during baking,
smother the fire by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• Do not place lids on the heating element.
• Always position pans centrally over the
heating element. When transferring pans
from one heating element to another always
lift the pans do not slide them.
• This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Select uten-
sils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a por-
tion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to heating element
will also improve efficiency.
WARNING
Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boil over causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are
in place. Absence of these pans or bowls
during cooking may subject wiring or com-
ponents underneath to damage.
Tips for glass ceramic plate
• The glass ceramic surface is heat- resistant
and insensitive to large temperature devia-
tions.
• Do not use the glass ceramic plate for
keeping objects or as cutting surface.
WARNING
Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged alumi-
num containers on the cook top. They could
leave aluminum marks that cannot be removed
completely.
• Use pot and pans with ground bottoms.
Sharp edges cause scratches on the sur-
face.
• Do not use aluminum pots and pans. Alumi-
num damages the glass ceramic surface.
WARNING
Glazed cooking utensils - only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• For foods containing sugar in any form,
clean up all spills and soils as soon as poss-
ible. Allow the cook- top to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts,
