caution:
Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
When opening and closing the lid, use the
cooler outer sides of the lid glass.
The lid must be opened fully, so there is
no danger of it closing while the hob is
being used.
The appliance is fitted with a safety sys
-
tem, which will automatically turn off the
hotplate burners if they are inadvertently
left on as the lid is closed.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when any
part of the cooker is in use. The surface
may be scratched if items with rough or
sharp surfaces are placed on it.
Always remove any spillage from lid be-
fore opening.
Always allow the hob surface to cool
before closing the lid.
Make sure that the wok stand is removed
from the pan support before closing lid.
