~
Pans must be the correct size for the
burner they are used on (see "Suitable
Pans"). A pan which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the pan
diameter is too large, flames can
spread out to the sides and damage or
burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the
hob. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
~
Do not use pans that are large
enough to cover more than one burner.
The resulting build-up of heat could
damage the appliance.
~
Ensure that the flames from the
burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.
~
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 even set on fire.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.
~
The pan support supplied with the
appliance must always be used. Never
place a pan on the burner itself.
~
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas hob.
~
Do not use the appliance 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
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.
~
Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.
~
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or fat
as these are fire hazards if overheated.
Very hot oil can catch fire and could
even set a cooker hood above on fire.
Always heat fat slowly, watching as it
heats.
~
If oil or fat catches 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 flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
~
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.
~
Avoid allowing liquids or foods
containing salt to spill onto the hob. If
salty foods or liquids do get on the hob,
they should be removed as soon as
possible to avoid the risk of corrosion.
