Asko HIHD854MF - Safe Use

Grease deposits in the metal grease filters can cause a fire.
Never flambé on a cooking zone with the extractor switched on.
The high flames can cause a fire. Always use the appliance with the
metal grease filter. Clean the grease filter regularly.
Overheated fat or oil can start a fire. Always supervise the heating
of fat and oil. Never extinguish a fire with water; always use a fire
blanket, lid or plate.
Safe use
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the
appliance.
• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to
explode. You might get injured or scalded.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
• When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal.
If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.
• Never open the casing of the appliance.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process will stop automatically. Get
into the habit of switching off the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
• After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t rely only on the pan detector.
• Remember that if the hob is used in a high setting, the heating time will be very short. Do not
leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone in a high setting.
Temperature safety
• The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking.
The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
• The induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking
zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget
to switch off your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
