Smeg A42C instruction manual Cooking tips, Knob Setting Type of Food

Instructions for the user

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the cooking hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on to the cooking hob. In the event, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the top is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glazed ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.

Important.

Beware of children in the vicinity as the signal lamps indicating residual heat are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking hob remains hot for a certain period of time.

Make sure that children never touch the cooking hob.
