Further safety notes
~
When using an electric socket near
the appliance, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not come into contact
with the hot appliance. The insulation
on the cable could become damaged,
giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
~
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food and its temperature. Some foods
may contain micro-organisms which are
only destroyed by thorough cooking;
therefore when cooking or reheating
foods such as poultry, it is particularly
important that the food is completely
cooked through. If in doubt, select a
longer cooking or reheating time.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high
temperatures and could damage the
ceramic surface. Fire hazard.
~
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
If the appliance has not been used
for a longer period of time it should be
thoroughly cleaned before it is used
again. It is also advisable to have the
appliance tested for safety. This should
be done at regular intervals.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these safety
instructions.
