General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Children
shall not play with the appliance, or sit, stand, or climb on it. Clean-
ing and user maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the appliance.
Children climbing on the cooktop could be seriously injured.
• RCD:
Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safe-
ty switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
•
Do not heat empty:
Do not switch on a hotplate without a pan or pot on
it. Do not use a hotplate to warm up plates. Never use the appliance for
warming or heating the room.
•
Do not overload:
Do not place or drop heavy objects on your cooktop.
Never stand on your cooktop.
•
To protect against the risk of electric shock,
do not touch the cooktop
with wet hands or feet, or when bare footed.
•
During use:
Do not stare at the cooktop elements when they are in use.
•
Frying food:
When frying food on the cooktop, check constantly and
ensure the oil is not overheating and becoming a fire hazard.
•
WARNING - danger of fire:
Make sure small items of household
equipment, including connection leads, do not touch the cooktop as their
insulation materials are usually not resistant to high temperatures.
•
WARNING - do not leave unattended:
Never leave the cooktop unattended
during use, as this is a fire risk. Oils and fats in pots and pans may catch fire
due to overheating. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spill-overs that
may ignite. In case of a fire, never try to extinguish it with water. Switch off
the burner and cover the flame(s) with a lid or a fire blanket.
•
WARNING - cracked surface:
If the surface is cracked, immediately switch
off the appliance at the mains supply in order to avoid the possibility of
electric shock. Call for service. Do not cook on a broken or cracked cooktop.
•
Pots and pans:
Do not use unstable cookware, or aluminium foil containers
on the cooktop. Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across
the cooktop surface as this can scratch the glass. Do not let large cookware
overlap the bench as this could deflect heat onto the benchtop, which could
damage the surface. Pot and pan handles may become hot during use;
position handles away from the edge of the cooktop and out of children’s
reach. Never cook directly on the glass surface without a pot or pan.
