Correct use

The cooktop gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time
after being turned off. Do not touch the appliance if there is a possi-
bility that it could still be hot.

When in use, the cooktop emits a significant amount of heat,
which can cause objects in the vicinity to catch fire.
Never use the cooktop to heat the room.

Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking on high
power. Spilled food will begin to smoke and cause grease splatter,
which can ignite on the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.

Oil and fat can catch fire if overheated. Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil and fat. If the oil or fat catches
fire, do not attempt to put the flames out with water.
Turn off the cooktop and smother the flames using a lid or a suitable
fire blanket.

Smother the fire or flames, or use a dry chemical extinguishing
agent or foam fire extinguisher.

The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire.
Do not flambé under a ventilation hood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the appliance. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resis-
tant.

Never heat empty cookware.

Do not heat or can food in closed containers, such as tins or
sealed jars, on the cooktop, as pressure will build up in the container
and cause it to explode.
