How to use the hob

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.

•Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.

•Do not cover the pot or pan you use when heating oil.

•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.

•Do not place empty pots and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged.

•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.

•As the surface of the appliance can be hot, do not place plastic and aluminum vessels on it.

•Such vessels should not be used to keep foods in either.

•Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking vessels only.

•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.

•Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on the cooking zones.

•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.
