Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of
burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~
When using a rangehood above the
cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.
~
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not
attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up
the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.
~
Do not flambé under a rangehood.
The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire.
Take care not to let these items get
damp or wet as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a covering plate, a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. If the appliance is switched on
by mistake, or if there is residual heat
present, these materials may catch fire,
shatter or melt.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the cooktop, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.
