General information about cooking
DANGER
Risk of fire by overheated oil!
When heating oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish a fire
with water! When oil has caught
fire, immediately cover the pot or
pan with a lid. Switch off the hob
if safe to do so and phone the fire
service.
x Before frying foods, always dry them well
and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure
complete thawing of frozen foods before
frying.
x Do not cover the pot or pan being used
when heating oil.
x Place the pans and saucepans in a
manner so that their handles are not over
the hob to prevent heating of the handles.
Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting
cooking vessels on the hob.
x Do not place empty pots and saucepans
on cooking zones that are switched on.
They might get damaged.
x Operating a cooking zone without a pot,
pan or saucepan on it may cause damage
to the appliance. Turn off the cooking
zones after cooking is complete.
x As the surface of the appliance can be hot,
do not place plastic and aluminum vessels
on it.
x Plastic and aluminum vessels should not
be used to keep foods in.
x Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking
vessels only.
x Place only the appropriate amount of food
in saucepans and pans. Doing so will
assist with regards to not having to do any
unnecessary cleaning as this will help
prevent the dishes from overflowing.
x Do not put covers of saucepans or pans
on the cooking zones.
x Place saucepans so that they are centered
on the cooking zone. When moving the
saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift
and place it onto the other cooking zone
instead of sliding it.
Gas cooking
x The size of the cooking vessel and the
flame must be suited to each other. Adjust
the gas flames so that they do not extend
past the bottom of the cooking vessel and
ensure that the cooking vessel is centered
on the saucepan carrier.
