You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
The fold down lid (if fitted)
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
Any spillage should be removed from
the surface of the lid before opening.
When opening and closing the lid, use
the cooler outer sides of the lid trim.
The lid must be opened fully, so there
is no danger of it closing while the hob
is being used.
The appliance is fitted with a switch-
back system, which will automatically
turn off the hotplate controls if they are
inadvertently left on as the lids are
c l o s e d . Do not use this device as a
quick way to turn off the burners.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when
any part of the cooker is in use, and
the surface may be scratched if items
with rough or sharp surfaces are
placed on it.
