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.
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.
Gas cooking
x
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.
