Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto
•
the Hob surface (Fig. 1.5). Lids that have
been used to cover a hot pan can "stick"
or create a "vacuum" effect to the Glass
Hob. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt
to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may
damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to
the edge of the hob surface and remove,
taking care not to scratch the hob surface.
Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to
room temperature, the vacuum has been
released, then remove the lid by lifting it
from the hob surface.
DO NOT place anything between the
•
base of the pan and the hob surface (e.g.
asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).
Take care NOT to place metallic objects
•
such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on
the hob surface since they can get hot.
We recommend that you avoid wiping
•
any surface unit areas until they have
cooled and the indicator light has gone off.
Sugar spills are the exception to this (see
'Cleaning your Cooker'). After cleaning, use
a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any
cleaning cream residue.
The ceramic surface should be washed
•
after use in order to prevent it from
becoming scratched or dirty. Clean the hob
with caution as some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface..
DO NOT leave the hob unattended.
•
Care should be taken to not allow your
cookware to boil dry. It will damage your
cookware and Induction Glass Hob.
After use, switch off the hob element by its
•
control. DO NOT rely on the pan detector.
Oven care
When the oven is not in use and before
•
attempting to clean the cooker always be
certain that the control knobs are in the
OFF position.
Use oven gloves to protect your hand from
•
potential burns.
Cooking high moisture content foods can
•
create a 'steam burst' when the oven door
is opened (Fig. 1.6). When opening the
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
The inside door face is constructed with
•
toughened safety glass. Take care
scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.
Accidental damage may cause the door
•
glass panel to fracture.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
•
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or
•
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to
•
the back of the oven.
against the oven shelves.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover
•
shelves, linings or the oven roof.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the
•
oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become
very hot.
DO NOT use the timed oven if the
•
adjoining oven is already warm.
DO NOT place warm food in the oven to
•
be timed.
DO NOT use a timed oven that is already
•
warm.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable –
•
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.
