the cable does not touch the hot surface of the
hob.

• A protective film has been placed over the control
panel of the hob to avoid damage during

using your hob. The protective film is easily
peeled off, but should a small amount of glue
remain on the control panel this can be removed
by rubbing gently with a soft cloth damped with
white spirit.
