Never use the hob surface as a chopping
board or food preparation area, as this may
lead to it becoming damaged.
Never leave aluminium foil on the hob top,
it reÁects heat back into the element which
leads to damage.
Never heat up a sealed tin of food on the hob,
as it may explode.
Never leave pans overhanging the edge of the
hob. The surface of the hob is smooth. If pans
are knocked they may move on the hob top.
Fire safety advice
Most kitchen Àres occur when people are distracted
or leave things unattended, so remember:
If you’re called away from the hob - by the phone or
someone at the door, either take pans off the heat,
or switch off your hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking.
If you do have a Àre in the kitchen, don’t take any
risks - get everyone out of your home and call the
Fire Service

Do not move it as it’s likely to be extremely hot.
Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so, but never
lean over a pan to reach the controls.
Use
Àre blanket or a damp tea-towel to cover
the pan.
If you have put the Àre out, leave the pan to
cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more
dangers in your kitchen
Never
Àll a pan or other deep fat fryer more
than one-third full of oil.
Do not use a Àre extinguisher on a pan of
burning oil - the force of the extinguisher can
spread the Àre and create a Àreball.

Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the
fuse box - this may be enough to stop the Àre
immediately
Smother
the
Àre with a Àre blanket, or use a
dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher
Remember: never use water on an electrical or
cooking oil Àre.
Avoiding damage to the appliance
The ceramic glass of the hob can be damaged by
objects falling onto it. Be especially careful with
heavy jars of food being stored in cupboards above
the hob, we recommend storing them away from the
hob area.
The edge of the glass can be damaged by being
knocked by cookware. Cookware made of cast
iron, cast aluminium or with damaged bottoms
can scratch the ceramic glass if pushed across the
surface.
Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn
onto the ceramic glass and should be removed as
soon as possible. To avoid damage to cookware and
the ceramic glass, do not allow sauce pans or frying
pans to boil dry.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware
or without cookware in place.
