Correct use
~
The hob gets hot when in use and remains hot for
quite a while after being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
~
If a cooker hood is installed above the hob, ensure
that the burners are always covered with a pan when in
use. Otherwise flames could reach the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged or set on fire.
~
Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being
used. Oil and fat are potential fire hazards as they can
ignite if overheated.
~
If 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 use the hob to heat up the room. Due to the
high temperatures radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the appliance could also be
reduced.
