General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
•
RCD:
Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
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.
•
Children:
Keep younger children away from the cooktop during use, as
young children do not recognise the risks involved when using electrical
appliances. If it is necessary for younger family members to be in the
kitchen, ensure that they are kept under close supervision at all times.
• Children
shall not play with the appliance, or sit, stand, or climb on it.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out 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.
•
Do not stare at the cooktop elements
when they are in use.
•
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.
•
Handle with care:
Do not place or drop heavy objects on your cooktop.
Do not stand on your cooktop. Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag
pans across the ceramic glass surface as this can scratch the glass.
•
Cookware:
Do not use unstable cookware, or aluminium foil containers
on the cooktop. 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.
•
To protect against the risk of electric shock,
do not touch the cooktop
with wet hands or feet, or when bare footed.
•
After use:
Always turn off the cooking zones and the cooktop by using the
touch controls.
•
Cleaning:
Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning the cooktop.
Ensure that no part of the cooktop is immersed in water or other liquid.
•
Damage:
Do not use the cooktop if any part has been damaged or does
not work properly. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. Only have it repaired
by an authorised service centre. Incorrect repair could expose you to
the risk of electric shock, fire or injury. Prolonged use of the unit in such
conditions could cause fire or electrocution.
•
Disconnect
the appliance from the electrical outlet before carrying out any
maintenance on it.
