Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning and
scalding
The surface of the appliance is hot
when in use, and remains hot for
quite a while after being switched off.
There is a danger of burning until the
residual heat indicator goes out.
For added protection it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the appliance as pressure
will build up in the tin and it can
explode. This could result in injury or
damage.
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.
8
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.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil
or fats 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, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the
flames with water. Use a suitable fire
blanket, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
Do not flambé under a cooker
hood. The flames could set the
cooker hood on fire.
