Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension lead. These do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
~
Do not use the hob if if it is faulty, or if the ceramic surface is
cracked, chipped or damaged in any way. Switch it off immediately,
and disconnect it from the mains electricity supply and the gas
supply. Call the Service Department.
~
In 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 or other vermin will not be covered
by the guarantee.
Correct use
~
The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a
while after being switched off. Do not touch it whilst it could still be
hot.
~
If a cooker hood is installed above the gas hob, ensure that the
burners are always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise
flames could reach the cooker hood, parts of which could then be
damaged or set on fire.
~
Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is being used. Oil
and fat are potential fire hazards as they can ignite if overheated.
~
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or
similar to smother the flames.
~
Do not use the appliance to heat up the room. Due to the high
temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance could catch fire.
The life of the appliance could also be reduced.
