important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The hob must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use
and store it out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the hob in liquid. Don't use it in a bathroom, near a source of
water, or outdoors.
3 Put the hob on a stable, level, heat resistant work surface.
4 The work surface must be at least 75cm (30 inches) above floor level.
5 Leave a space of at least 5cm (2 inches) all round the hob.
6 Don't use the hob near or under cupboards, curtains or combustible materials.
7 Keep it away from the edge of the work surface.
8 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
9 Position pan handles so they can't be knocked or caught.
10 The hob surfaces will be very hot when in use – don't touch.
11 Don't try to move the hob till it's cold, and don't try to move it while
there's anything on it.
12 Take care when cooking with oil or fat to guard against overheating.
13 Don't leave the hob unattended while it's plugged in.
14 Choose pans with bases the same size as the hotplate on which they are to be used,
otherwise overheating may occur.
15 Don't use oversized pans (e.g. catering pans) or any pan which covers both hotplates,
as this will cause overheating and damage to the hob.
16 After use turn the controls to MIN, and unplug the hob. Let it cool down fully before
cleaning or storing away.
17 Don't wrap the cable around the hob.
18 Keep the cable away from hot surfaces.
19 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
20 Don't use the hob if it's damaged or malfunctions.
21 If the cable is damaged, return the hob, to avoid hazard.
before use for the first time
1 The hotplates must be cured, and their protective coatings burned off.
2 Ensure the room is well ventilated, as it can get a bit smelly.
3 Plug the hob into the wall socket (switch the socket on if it's switchable).
