Noises
Various noises may be heard when using an induction cooking pan, depending on how the pan is constructed. Noises may
include a buzzing sound, particularly at higher power settings, clicking / cracking, or whistling. The noise will get louder if
the pan base is wet. It is recommended to use a dry pan base.
In addition, the appliance has a cooling fan that may come on during intensive use, and may continue to run even after
the hob has been turned off.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Never place cutlery or other metal objects on the hob. If the zone is accidentally switched on, there is a risk of these
objects becoming hot.
Always switch the cooking zones off after use.
Use the Child Lock to prevent accidental operation of the hob.
The area immediately surrounding the hob is electromagnetically charged. While it is unlikely to affect a pacemaker, if in
doubt please consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker.
To prevent damage to items susceptible to magnetic fields e.g. bank cards or electronic devices, do not leave them in the
immediate vicinity of the hob.
Do not leave the appliance whilst in use, or allow pans to boil dry as this could cause damage to the hob surface. Never
heat an empty pan.
To avoid the risk of damage always check that the hob surface and the bottom of pans are free of any dirt or grit (such as
rock salt). Check pan bases for burrs or roughness. The pan base must be smooth.
Always lift pans when moving them across the hob – never drag anything across the surface.
Any spillages of high sugar content foods such as jam or potato should be wiped off the hob immediately as damage can
occur. Be careful as the hob and spillages may be hot.
Never place food, aluminium foil, plastic containers or an empty grill pan directly onto the hob zones. It is dangerous and
damage can occur.
Never cut or prepare food on the glass surface. It is dangerous to do either of these actions and can cause damage to the
hob. Always take care when handling heavy items such as tins of food, jars and pans around the hob. Dropping a heavy
item on the hob may cause damage.
If a crack or chip should appear in the glass surface, isolate the cooker from the electricity supply. Call the Britannia
service department for advice, and do not use the cooker.
TIPS FOR GAS AND ELECTRIC HOBS
Economy tips
Always choose the correct sized burner or zone for the pan. Do not allow flames to lick up the sides of the pan.
As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the control knob to a lower position to maintain temperature.
Always use pans with lids. Do not overfill pans. Only boil the amount of liquid required. De-scale your stove-top kettle
regularly if you live in a hard water area.
Safety
The gas and electric hobs have been designed to be as safe as possible during use.
Always keep pan handles turned to a safe position so that they cannot overheat, be reached by children or knocked
accidentally.
When heating or frying, never leave fat or oil unattended.
