Warning and Safety instructions
14
Correct use

The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual
heat indicators go out.

Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob
unattended 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.

Open flames are a fire hazard.
Do not flambé food. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw
flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite.

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.

When the appliance is switched on either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could
also melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic
surface and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a
resting place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.
