Warning and Safety instructions
Protecting the appliance from damage
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface. Even a light
object could cause damage in certain circumstances.
Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not
use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty pans as they could get damaged. This could also damage the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam
could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to other components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches and other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Protection from burning
The appliance gets hot when in use, and remains hot for quite a while after being switched off. Do not
touch it whilst it is still hot.
To avoid burning yourself, use oven gloves. Ensure that these do not
come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let the gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or burning yourself.
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode.
This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything else. The article
could melt or catch fire if residual heat is still present or if the appliance is switched on by mistake.
Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could be a fire hazard if the appliance
is switched on by mistake.
