Important Safety Warnings
17. All cabinetry and materials used in the installation must be able to withstand a minimum temperature of
50°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, whilst in use. Certain types of vinyl or
laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage or discolouration at temperatures below
the guidelines given above. Any damage caused by the appliance being installed without adhering to the
temperature limits set out above will be the liability of the owner. To avoid any hazards, limit access to the
under-bench section of the cooktop.
18. Damage can occur to bench tops if pots and pans are allowed to overlap the bench top. This can result in
heat being transferred to the bench top. Ensure that correct sized pots & pans are used. Pans should be
lifted on and off the cooktop surface and not dragged. Cooking zones should not be switched on without
cookware placed on it. Do not place empty cookware onto the cooking zones when in use.
19. If any cracking is noticed on the cooktop, turn the appliance off immediately and call your Omega Service
Centre.
20. Do not leave the cooktop while cooking with solid or liquid oils. There may be flaming up in conditions of
extreme heating. Never pour water onto the flames occurring from oil. Immediately turn the cooktop off
and cover the pan with a lid or fire blanket in order to smother the flame.
21. Users with pacemakers should keep their upper body at least 30cm away from any operational inductive
cooking zone. If in doubt, please consult your doctor before use.
22. Do not place metal objects such as spoons or pan lids onto the cooktop as they may become hot or cause
damage to the surface.
23. A small amount of noise will sometimes be heard as elements turn on & off during operation. This is
normal & not a fault.
24. WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
25. Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they
can get hot.
26. Danger of fire: Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
27. CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised
continuously.
28. WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.
29. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised Service Centre or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
30. After having installed the appliance, the switched outlet must always be in an accessible position.
