Warning and Safety instructions
Do not allow either solid or liquid
sugar or pieces of plastic or alu-
mium foil to get on to the cooking
zones when they are hot. If this should
occur, turn to a lower setting but do not
switch off. Immediately scrape off all
the sugar, plastic or aluminium remains
from the hob with a shielded razor
blade scraper, taking care not to burn
yourself. If these residues are allowed
to cool before the hob surface has
been cleaned, the ceramic surface will
be susceptible to pitting or even crack-
ing.
Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pro-
nounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
Enclosed hotplates
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill onto a stainless
steel hob or trim. Should this happen
wipe up any spillages containing salt
immediately, to avoid corrosion.
Do not use covers on the enclosed
hotplates.Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could dam-
age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a
damp hotplate could lead to damage
of the hotplate. Condensation trapped
under the cover could cause corrosion.
General notes
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-
nent damage to the surface and to
components, for which the manufac-
turer of the oven cannot accept any
responsibility.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem-
peratures. Additionally they could dam-
age a ceramic hob as they melt.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insula-
tion and be dangerous.
