~
Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything.
When it is switched on either deliberately or by mistake,
or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk
of metal objects heating up, with a danger of burning.
Depending on the material, other objects left on the
hob could also melt or catch fire.
Damp pan lids might adhere to the ceramic surface
and be difficult to dislodge.
Switch the cooking zones off after use.
~
Where several appliances are installed side by side
Do not place hot pots or pans on the cover strip as this
can damage the seal.
~
Do not cover the hob, e. g. with a hob cover, a cloth
or protective foil. The material could catch fire, shatter
or melt if the appliance is switched on by mistake or if it
is still warm.
~
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers.
These melt at high temperatures and could catch fire.
~
Do not heat up unopened tins of food on the hob, as
pressure will build up in the tin, causing it to explode.
This could result in injury and scalding or damage.
