VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTION
Safety installation for hob with
control panel
x A removable horizontal board
must be fitted below the hob and
75mm away from the worktop
bottom face.
x Space between this board and the
hob must be empty and no objects
may be stored or kept there.
x This board will effectively shield
the user from the base of the hob
which gets hot during use. The
board needs to be removable for
service purposes as the hob, once
installed, can only be loosened
from below.
x If the hob is installed with a side
adjacent to a vertical kitchen
cabinet, the distance between the
edge of the hob and that of the
cabinet side must be a least
150mm. The distance between the
back wall and the rear edge of the
hob must be at least 55mm.
x The appliance may be hot when it
is in use. Never touch the hot
cooking zones.
x Make sure that the hob controls
are switched off after every use.
x Use a deep pan, large enough to
cover the appropriate cooking
zone.
x Always dry food thoroughly
before placing it in hot oil or fat.
Frozen food in particular will spit
and splatter if added too quickly.
x Never fill the pan more than one
third full of fat or oil.
x Never heat fat or fry with a lid on
the pan.
x Do not fry too much food at once.
This lowers the temperature of
the oil or fat and results in fatty
foods.
x Do not leave hot fat or oil
unattended. If overheating occurs,
these could catch fire.
x Do not use or store inflammable
products (alcohol, petrol, benzene
etc.) near the appliance as these
pose a fire risk.
x Do not cover the hob or burners
with aluminium foil.
x Switch off the power at the mains
in the event of a fault or when
cleaning the appliance.
