Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaning appliance to clean
the gas hob. Pressurised steam could
cause permanent damage to the sur-
face and to components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept responsi-
bility.
Unless the pan manufacturer
states that you can do so, you
should never use pans with thin bases
on this hob and you should never heat
up an empty pan. Otherwise the hob
could get damaged.
Ceramic hobs:
Do not drop anything on the ce-
ramic surface of the hob. Even a light
object such as a salt cellar could cause
damage in certain circumstances.
Stainless steel hobs:
Do not let salty foods or liquids get
on the hob. These should be removed
as soon as possible to avoid the risk of
corrosion.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its sur-
roundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which might be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the appliance
guarantee.

Do not let small children use the
appliance or touch it during opera-
tion. The burner support, burners and
also the surfaces around the burners
heat up and remain hot for quite a while
after the appliance has been switched
off. Danger of burning. Do not touch
them until they have cooled down. The
use of oven gloves is recommended.
Do not store anything which might
arouse a child's interest in storage
areas above or next to the hob. Other-
wise they could be tempted into climb-
ing onto the appliance with the risk of
burning themselves.
To prevent the risk of children
reaching pan handles and pulling
pans over with the danger of burning or
scalding themselves be sure to turn
pan handles inwards and out of their
reach.
Use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire. Take care not to let pot holders or
gloves get damp or wet, as this causes
heat to transfer through the material
quicker with the risk of burning yourself.
