Hints for Safe USE of the Hobs

Fig. 2.4

–Before switching on, check which knob controls the required hob. You are advised to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off after switch- ing off.

–To switch on, always lightly press the control knob then turn it.

–Use saucepans with an even flat bottom (be careful of cast iron saucepans). Uneven bottoms can scratch the pyroceram surface. Check that the bottom is clean and dry.

–Check that the saucepan handle does not protrude from the top to avoid knocking it over. This precaution also makes it more difficult for children to reach the saucepan.

–Do not use the top if the surface is broken or damaged.

–Do not bend over the hobs when they are on.

–Do not leave aluminium foil, greaseproof paper etc. or plastic on the hob when it is hot.

–Remember that the hobs stay hot for quite a long time (approx. 30 min.) after they have been switched off.

–Scrupulously follow the cleaning instructions.

–Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop.

–If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

–If the cooktop has halogen lamps, do not stare at them.

–Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans or containers.
