Safety
Keep children away from the vicinity of the hob when you are cooking.
• Use pans with a flat base which are stable in use, and avoid using any old misshapen pans or any pan which is unstable when placed on a flat surface.
• Never leave fat or oil unattended on an active cook zone. Don’t leave pans on the hob when you are not around - remove them or turn the cook zones off (even if only for a moment)
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
• Keep all flammable materials away from the hob. Ensure electrical leads do not trail over or go near the hob.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on hot surfaces.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance and cannot be caught accidentally.
• Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can dam- age the surface and may cause a hazard.
• Caution: Do not use the hob if the glass is cracked, as electrical parts are directly beneath. To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the electricity supply to the hob at the socket and arrange a Service call.
WARNING: If you use a griddle plate, ensure that it is completely cool before attempting to lift it from the hob as residual heat may cause burns. Always use oven gloves to protect your hands.
Do not allow yourself to be distracted whilst cooking.
When you have finished cooking check that all controls are in the off position.
