~
Replace the pan supports carefully
to avoid scratching the surface of the
hob.
~
Using the gas hob will cause a
build-up of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that
the room has sufficient natural or
mechanical means of ventilation, e.g.
an extractor.
~
If the hob is used for very long
periods of time, additional ventilation of
the room may be necessary, e.g. by
opening windows or doors, or running
the extractor on the highest setting.
~
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 quantity of
the food and its temperature.
Some foods may contain
micro-organisms which are only
destroyed by thorough cooking at a
sufficiently high temperature for long
enough. Therefore, when cooking or
reheating food such as poultry, it is
particularly important that the food is
completely cooked through. If in doubt,
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
~
Spray canisters, aerosols and other
inflammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer under the hob.
Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.
~
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance.
The steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Pressurised steam could also cause
permanent damage to the surface and
to other components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
~
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.
~
While the appliance is under
guarantee, repairs should only be
undertaken by a service technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the guarantee is invalidated.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.
