~
Use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when using
the appliance. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
~
Do not flambé under a cooker hood. The flames
could set the cooker hood on fire.
~
Do not use the appliance as a resting place for
anything else. When the appliance is switched on
either deliberately or by mistake, or when there is
residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects
heating up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other objects left on the
hob could also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface
and be difficult to dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Do not cover the hob with, e. g. with a hob cover, a
cloth or protective foil. This could present a fire hazard
if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if the hob
is still warm.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers.
These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
