YOUR GAS HOB
What you should pay attention to
•
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use.
º
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
º
When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is
necessary. Open a window for instance or install a mechanical
fan.
•
Use the hob only for preparing dishes.
º
The appliance is not suitable for space heating.
•
Never flambé under an extractor hood.
º
The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched off.
•
The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use.
º
Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant
materials.
º
Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid
cooling can damage the enamel.
•
The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall
should always be greater than two centimetres.
º
In case of smaller distances the high temperature may cause
the knobs or wall to discolour and/or distort.
•
Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils.
º
Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan
directly on the burner head can result in dangerous situations.
º
Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils.
They can become burnt into the burners and pan supports.
•
Installing burner parts and pan supports.
º
The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have
been assembled using the guide ridges.
º
Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other
and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned
stably.
