~
Do not use the appliance as a resting place for
anything else.
Take particular care never to place cutlery or other
metal objects on the appliance. When the appliance is
switched on either deliberately or by mistake, or when
there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other objects left on the
hob could also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface
and be difficult to dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Where several appliances are installed side by side
Do not place hot pots or pans on the joining strip as
this can damage the seal.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g. with a cloth, kitchen
foil, etc. This could present a fire hazard if the
appliance is switched on by mistake or if the hob is still
warm.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers These
melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
