Warning and Safety instructions
13
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
appliance as a resting place for anything.
You could burn yourself on the hot hob. Protect your hands with
heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food blender,
near the hob, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance cannot
come into contact with the hot hob. The insulation on the cable
could become damaged.
Even a light object can cause damage in certain circumstances.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the hob.
When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or
touching the hob or a burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or even set on fire.
Only light the gas burners after all burner parts have been properly
assembled.
