What you should pay attention to
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use
■ Keep natural ventilation openings open.
■ When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary.
Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan.
Use the hob only for preparing dishes
■ The appliance is not suitable for space heating.
Never flambé under an extractor hood
■ The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched off.
The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use
■ Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials.
■ Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling can damage
the enamel.
The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall should
always be greater than two centimetres
■ In the case of smaller distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or
wall to discolour and/or distort.
Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils
■ Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the
burner head can result in dangerous situations.
■ Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can become
burnt into the burners and pan supports.
Installing burner parts and pan supports
■ The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have been
assembled using the guide ridges (see page 70).
■ Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the
spillage well. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
