5 How to use the hob
General information about cooking
DANGER
Risk of fire by overheated oil!
When you heat oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish a fire
with water!
When oil has
caught fire, immediately cover the
pot or pan with a lid. Switch off
the hob if safe to do so and
phone the fire service.
x
Before frying foods, always dry them well
and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure
complete thawing of frozen foods before
frying.
x
Do not cover the pot or pan you use when
heating oil.
x
Place the pans and saucepans in a
manner so that their handles are not over
the hob to prevent heating of the handles.
Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting
cooking vessels on the hob.
x
Do not place empty pots and saucepans
on cooking zones that are switched on.
They might get damaged.
x
Operating a cooking zone without a pot,
pan or saucepan on it will cause damage
to the appliance. Turn off the cooking
zones after cooking is complete.
x
As the surface of the appliance can be hot,
do not place plastic and aluminum vessels
on it.
x
Such vessels should not be used to keep
foods in either.
x
Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking
vessels only.
x
Put only the appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Doing so will assist
in you not having to do any unnecessary
cleaning as this will help prevent the
dishes from overflowing.
x
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans
on the cooking zones.
x
Place saucepans so that they are centered
on the cooking zone. When moving the
saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift
and place it onto the cooking zone you
want instead of sliding it.

seated. Refit the pot stands.

Gas cooking

The size of the cooking vessel and the
flame must be suited to each other. Adjust
the gas flames so that they do not extend
past the bottom of the cooking vessel and
ensure that the cooking vessel is centered
on the saucepan carrier.
