Keep natural ventilation openings open. º
When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is º
necessary. Open a window for instance or install a mechanical
fan.
Use the hob only for preparing dishes. •
The appliance is not suitable for space heating. º
Never flambé under an extractor hood. •
The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched º
off.
The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use. •
Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant º
materials.
Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid º
cooling can damage the enamel.
The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall •
should always be greater than two centimetres.
In the case of smaller distances the high temperature may º
cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or distort.
Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils. •
Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan º
directly on the burner head can result in dangerous situations.
Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. º
They can become burnt into the burners and pan supports.
Installing burner parts and pan supports. •
The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have º
been assembled using the guide ridges.
Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other º
and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be
positioned stably.
