Do not use any pots or pans on the
ceramic hob with bases with pro
-
nounced edges or ridges, or which are
poorly enamelled.
These could scratch or scour the hob
surface permanently.
There is a seal between the hob
frame and worktop and between
the frame and the ceramic plate. Do not
use any sharp pointed object, such as
a knife, to clean these seals as they
could become damaged.
Hobs with enclosed hotplates
When switched on the cooking ar-
eas become hot. Danger of burn-
ing.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods
containing salt to spill onto a stain-
less steel hob or trim. Should this hap-
pen wipe up any spillages containing
salt immediately, to avoid corrosion.
Do not use covers on the enclosed
hotplates. Turning on the hotplate
with the cover still in place could dam
-
age the hotplate. Putting a cover on a
damp hotplate could lead to damage of
the hotplate. Condensation trapped un
-
der the cover could cause corrosion.
Do not use the hob as a resting
place for any other objects. This
could lead to a danger of the article
catching fire or melting if there is any
residual heat or the hob is switched on
inadvertently.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil
containers. These melt at high tem
-
peratures. Additionally they could dam
-
age the hob as they melt.
General notes
Never leave the appliance unat
-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these are a fire hazard if allowed
to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects left near the oven or
hob could catch fire.
Always ensure that food is suffi
-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking at temper-
atures of over 70 °C for a minimum of
10 minutes. Therefore when cooking or
reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is partic-
ularly important that food is fully cooked
through. If in doubt select a longer
cooking or reheating time.
It is important that the heat is allowed to
spread evenly throughout the food be
-
ing cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed for
cooking, reheating or defrosting.
