Warning and Safety instructions
Protection from burning
~
The appliance gets hot when in use,
and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.
~
For added protection, it is advisable
to use heat-resistant pot holders or
oven gloves when using the appliance.
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 the gloves get
damp or wet, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of burning yourself.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of
food on the hob. Presssure can build
up and they may explode, resulting in
injury and scalding or damage.
~
Do not use the appliance as a
resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.
~
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.

~
Remove splashes of fat and other
food debris from the surface as soon as
possible. These are a fire hazard.
~
Never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with oil or fat.
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.
~
Ensure that the flames from the
burner do not spread out beyond the
base and up the sides of the pan.
