IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
PACEMAKER AND IMPLANTED
INSULIN PUMP USERS:
The functions
of this hob comply with the applicable
European standards on electromagnetic
interference. If you are fitted with a
pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and
are concerned please consult your doctor
for medical advice.
•
When the hob is in use keep magnetic
items away, such as credit and debit cards,
floppy disk, calculators, etc.
•
To fully utilise the power of your
induction hob and to ensure longevity of
performance, we recommend the use of
AGA Rangemaster Induction cookware.
If you decide to purchase an alternative
set of cookware for use on your induction
cooker, we would strongly recommend
that composite aluminium cookware
with steel inserts, example shown
Fig. 1.3
,
are avoided. This type of construction
can significantly reduce the lifetime and
performance of your induction cook top.
•
Take care when touching the marked
cooking areas of the hob.
•
Use adequately sized pans with flat
bottoms that are large enough to cover
the surface of the hotplate heating area.
The use of undersized pans will expose a
portion of the surface unit to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for use on the warming zone;
others may break because of the sudden
•
NEVER
leave the hotplate unattended
at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.
•
WARNING:
Unattended cooking on a
hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.
•
NEVER
leave a chip pan unattended.
•
ALWAYS
heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats. Deep fry pans should be only one
third full of fat.
•
NEVER
try to move a pan of hot fat,
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the
fat is cool. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying,
stir them together before heating, or as the
fats melt.
•
Foods for frying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully
watch for spills or overheating of foods
when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.
•
DO NOT
use the top of the flue (the slots
along the back of the cooker) for warming
plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
•
DO NOT
use water on grease fires and
never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off and then smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
•
DO NOT
modify this appliance. This
appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of external timer or separated
remote-control system.
