Warning and Safety Instructions
When cooking or boiling in large
pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) be-
tween the pot and a heat-sensitive
countertop. After combustion, the hot
gases flow outwards under the base of
the pot and may consequently burn the
edge of the countertop if it is too close.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pot or pan and the control panel.
Never place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electrical plug near
the cooktop, care should be taken
to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.
Note that potential hazards may
exist with overhead cabinets.
The wok/pan support and trivet (if
supplied) heat up when the bur-
ners are in use. Do not touch them until
they have cooled down. The use of
oven gloves is recommended.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the unit.
Never leave the unit unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can cause a fire.
Allow sufficient time for the unit to
cool before touching or exposing
surface areas to flammable materials.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain microorgan-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, se-
lect a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated. To check that it is thoroughly
cooked, turn or stir during cooking if
necessary.
If high settings are used, remain
near the cooktop in case grease
should splatter or liquids boil over,
which may cause smoking.
Never use damp potholders.
Use only suitable cookware for
range-top service. Unsuitable
cookware may break due to a sudden
temperature change.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill on to a stainless
steel cooktop. Should this happen,
wipe up any spillages containing salt
immediately, otherwise discoloration
could occur.
Do not use the control panel as a
resting place for pots and pans.
