Warning and Safety instructions

In the event of any breakages or cracks occurring in the ceramic

hob it must be switched off immediately and disconnected from the electricity supply.

Contact the Service Department.

Do not use the hob until the damaged ceramic plate has been replaced. Con- tinued use would be dangerous as liquids etc. boiling over could penetrate to the electrical components through any crack and cause a short circuit.

Do not use the hob as a resting place for any other objects. This could lead to a danger of the article

catching fire or melting if there is any re- sidual heat or the hob is switched on in- advertently.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high tem- peratures. Additionally, they could dam-

age a ceramic hob as they melt.

Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-

mium foil to get on to the cooking zones when they are hot. If this is allowed to cool before the hob has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even crack- ing.

Switch the cooking zones off and while the hob is still warm, scrape all the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains from the hob with a shielded blade scraper taking care not to burn yourself.

Do not drop anything on the ce- ramic hob.

Even a light object such as an egg cup, could cause damage in certain cir- cumstances.

Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pro-

nounced edges or ridges, or which are poorly enamelled.

These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

There is a seal between the hob frame and worktop and between the frame and the ceramic plate. Do

not use any sharp pointed object, such as a knife, to clean these seals as they could become damaged.

Hobs with enclosed hotplates

When switched on the cooking areas become hot. Danger of burn-

ing.

Avoid allowing liquids or foods con- taining salt to spill onto a stainless

steel hob or trim. Should this happen wipe up any spillages containing salt immediately, to avoid corrosion.

Do not use covers on the enclosed hotplates. Turning on the hotplate

with the cover still in place could dam- age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a damp hotplate could lead to damage of the hotplate. Condensation trapped under the cover could cause corrosion.

Do not use the hob as a resting place for any other objects. This could lead to a danger of the article

catching fire or melting if there is any re- sidual heat or the hob is switched on in- advertently

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers. These melt at high tem- peratures. Additionally they could dam-

age the hob as they melt.
