Correct use
The ho
b gets hot when in use and remains hot for a while after
being switched off. There is a danger of burning until the residual
heat indicators go out.
Due t
o the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the hob
when it is in use could catch fire.
Do not use the hob to heat up the room.
Oil and fat
can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the hob unat‐
tended when cooking with oil and fat. If it does ignite do not attempt
to put the flames out with water.
Disconnect the hob from the mains and use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the flames.
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.
Spr
ay canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the hob. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the ho
b, as pressure can build up in the container, causing it to
explode.
Do not cove
r the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the hob is switch‐
ed on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
When the appliance is switche
d on either deliberately or by mis‐
take, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of any
metal items left on the hob heating up, with the danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other items left on the hob could also
melt or catch fire. Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic sur‐
face and be difficult to dislodge. Do not use the appliance as a rest‐
ing place. Switch the cooking zones off after use.
