General information about cooking
DANGER
Risk of fire by overheated oil!
When heating oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish a fire with
water!
When oil has caught fire,
immediately cover the pot or pan with a
lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so
and phone the fire service.
•
off the cooking zones after cooking is complete.
•
As the surface of the appliance can be hot, do not
place plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
•
Plastic and aluminum vessels should not be used
to keep foods in.
•
Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking vessels
only.
•
Place only the appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Doing so will assist with
regards to not having to do any unnecessary
cleaning as this will help prevent the dishes from
overflowing.
•
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on the
cooking zones.
•
Place saucepans so that they are centered on the
cooking zone. When moving the saucepan onto
another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the
other cooking zone instead of sliding it.
Gas cooking
•
The size of the cooking vessel and the flame must
be suited to each other. Adjust the gas flames so
that they do not extend past the bottom of the
cooking vessel and ensure that the cooking vessel
is centered on the saucepan carrier.

Before frying foods, always dry them well and
gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete
thawing of frozen foods before frying.
•
Do not cover the pot or pan being used when
heating oil.
•
Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that
their handles are not over the hob to prevent
heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced
and easily tilting cooking vessels on the hob.
•
Do not place empty pots and saucepans on
cooking zones that are switched on. They might get
damaged.
•
Operating a cooking zone without a pot, pan or
saucepan on it may cause damage to the
appliance. Turn off the cooking zones after cooking
is complete.
