Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a
possibility that it could still be hot.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob unat-
tended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt
to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the hob, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
If the appliance is switched on by mistake, or if there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the hob
heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire. Do not use the ap-
pliance as a resting place for anything.
