Warning and Safety instructions

General

Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean

the ceramic hob. The steam could
penetrate to live components and
cause a short circuit.

Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and

fats as these are fire hazards if over-
heated.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers.

These melt at higher temperatures and
could damage the ceramic surface.

Do not use the ceramic hob to
heat up the room.

The high temperatures of the hob could
cause inflammable objects in the vi-
cinity to burn.

When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the ce-

ramic hob ensure that the cable cannot
touch a heated hob or pan.

Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.

Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain micro organ-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is
particulary important that the food is
fully cooked through. If in doubt select
a longer cooking or reheating time.

It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently

heated, and to check that it is thor-
oughly cooked, turning or stirring dur-
ing cooking if necessary.
