should clean the hob with caution as some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• DO NOT leave the hob unattended.
Care should be taken to not allow your
cookware to boil dry. It will damage your
cookware and Induction Glass Hob.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its
control. DO NOT rely on the pan detector.
Oven care
• When the oven is not in use and before
attempting to clean the appliance
ALWAYS be certain that the control knobs
are in the OFF position.
• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from
potential burns.
• Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door
is opened (Fig. 1.5). When opening the
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
• The inside door face is constructed with
toughened safety glass. Take care NOT
to scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.
• Accidental damage may cause the door
glass panel to fracture.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly
to the back of the oven. DO NOT close the
door against the oven shelves.
• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover
shelves, linings or the oven roof.
• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the
oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become
very hot.
• DO NOT use the timed oven if the
adjoining oven is already warm.
• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to
be timed.
• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already
warm.
• Use dry oven gloves when applicable –
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.
Cooker care
• As steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may
be necessary during cooking to wipe away
any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also
help to prevent soiling and discolouration
of the oven exterior by cooking vapours
(Fig. 1.6).
Hob care
• NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on
the hob.
• DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting
board.
• DO NOT leave utensils, foodstus or
combustible items on the hob when it
is not in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
• DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or
plastic containers on the hob.
• ALWAYS turn the control to the OFF
position before removing a pan.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may
damage both the hob and pan.
