Protection from burning and
scalding
~
The appliance gets hot when in use
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. There is a danger
of burning until the residual heat
indicators go out.
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance. Do
not let them get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the
material more quickly with the risk of
scalding or burning yourself.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the hob, as pressure will build
up in the tin and it can explode. This
could result in injury and scalding or
damage.
~
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 hob. 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.
~
Do not cover the appliance, e.g.
with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. This could
be a fire hazard if the appliance is
switched on by mistake.
~
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or fat
as these are fire hazards if overheated.
Very hot oil can catch fire and could
even set a cooker hood above on fire.
Always heat fat slowly, watching as it
heats.
~
If, despite this, 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 flambé under a cooker hood.
The flames could set the cooker hood
on fire.
