Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
~
Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when cooking with oil or fat.
If oil or fat does catch fire, do not attempt to put out the flames with
water. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and use a suitable
fire blanket, saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.
~
Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker 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-resistant.
~
Do not heat an empty pan.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
~
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective
foil. The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.
~
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food
blender, near the appliance, ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance cannot come into contact with the hot appliance. The
insulation on the cable could become damaged.
