Keep children away from the
vicinity of the hob when you
are cooking.
• Use pans with a flat base of
minimum 100mm / 4 ins diameter,
and maximum 230mm / 9 ins
diameter, which are stable in use,
and avoid using any old misshapen
pans or any pan which is unstable
when placed on a flat surface.
• Never leave fat or oil unattended
on a lit hotplate.
• Do not stare at the Halogen hob
elements - doing so may temporar-
ily impair your vision.
• Keep all flammable materials
away from the hob.
• Do not place aluminium foil or
plastic utensils on hot surfaces.
• Do not let pans overhang the
control panel, as this will lead to a
“fault” condition (see “Fault
Finding” section).
• Turn pan handles to a safe
position, so they are out of reach
of children, not overhanging the
appliance and cannot be caught
accidentally.
• Commercial simmering aids
should not be used as they create
excessive temperatures that can
damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.
• Caution: Do not use the hob if
the glass is cracked, as electrical
parts are directly beneath. To
avoid the possibility of electric
shock, turn off the electricity supply
to the hob at the socket and
arrange a Service call.
• When the hob is not in use, never
place items on the surface - if the
sensors are activated, the hob may
switch on.
• The hob may be left in “ Standby ”
mode when it is not in use.
However, to ensure that it cannot
be operated accidentally, we
recommend that you allow the hob
to cool then switch off at the mains
when it is not in use.
When you have finished
cooking check that all hotplate
controls are switched off.
BE SAFE - NOT SORRY
