Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
For people fitted with a heart
pacemaker:
Please note that the area immediately
surrounding the appliance is
electromagnetically charged, and that
this could affect a pacemaker.
If in any doubt consult the manufacturer
of the pacemaker or your doctor.
~
Only use the wok supplied with the
appliance. For safety reasons, other
woks should not be used: fire hazard.
See "Operation - pans"
~
The appliance gets 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.
~
This appliance must not be set up or
operated in the open air.
~
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.

~
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.
~
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is in use.
A wok that has boiled dry can cause
damage to the ceramic surface for
which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.
~
If, despite this, oil or fat does catch
fire, do not attempt to put out the flames
with water. Use a suitable fire blanket,
saucepan lid, damp towel or similar to
smother the flames.
~
Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
~
To prevent damage to items which
are susceptible to magnetic fields, e.g.
credit cards, diskettes, pocket
calculators etc, do not leave them in the
immediate vicinity of the hob.
~
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances should not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface. Even a light object could
cause damage in certain
circumstances.
