What you should pay attention to
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
■
When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary.
■
Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan.
Use the hob only for preparing dishes
■
The appliance is not suitable for space heating.
Never flambé under an extractor hood
The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched off.
■
The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use
Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials.
■
■
Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling can damage
the enamel.
The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall should
always be greater than two centimetres
In the case of smaller distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or
■
wall to discolour and/or distort.
Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils
■
Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the
burner head can result in dangerous situations.
Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can become
■
burnt into the burners and pan supports.
Installing burner parts and pan supports
The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have been assembled
■
using the guide ridges (see page 78).
Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the
■
spillage well. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
