When used properly your Belling built-in hob is completely safe, but as with any electrical
appliance there are some precautions you must take in its use.
Never..
●
Never allow anyone except an authorised Belling Service Agent to service or repair
your hob.
●
Never remove any part of the hob other than those intended in normal use, or
attempt to modify the appliance in any way.
●
Never use the cooker for commercial catering. It is designed for domestic use and
for cooking food only.
●
Never allow young children to operate or play with the cooker, as all surfaces get
hot while in use.
●
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
●
Never store items above a hob that children may attempt to reach.
●
Never use a chip pan or deep fat fryer more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid while
frying, and do not leave a fryer unattended while cooking.
●
Never place materials which might catch fire, such as tea towels on the hob, even
when the appliance is not in use.
●
Never allow aluminium foil or plastic to touch any hob element when it is hot.
●
Never use an asbestos mat, trivet or rack of any kind under pans on the hob.

Never store anything which might catch fire in a cupboard immediately below the
hob.

Never heat unopened containers.
●
Never place flammable or plastic items on or near the hob.
●
Never dry clothes on the hob.
●
Never store flammable liquids, aerosols, etc. in adjacent cabinetry.

damage the hob.
●
Never wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
Always..
●
Always take care when touching any part of the hob which may be hot.
●
Always keep your hob clean, as a build-up of grease or fat from cooking may be a
fire hazard.
●
Always switch off at the mains supply and allow the appliance to cool before
cleaning your hob.
●
Always supervise children and pets whilst cooking
●
Always use suitable pans for the hob, and make sure that they are stable.
●
Always keep handles away from the edge of the hob and any heat. For added
safety you should consider using a suitable hob guard.
●
Always make sure that all the controls are switched off when you finish cooking.
●
Always remember that your hob may stay hot for a time even after you have
finished cooking.
