Warning and Safety instructions
12
When the wok burner is switched on, either deliberately or by
mistake, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of
any metal items left on the wok heating up, with the danger of
burning. Depending on the material, other items left on the appliance
could also melt or catch fire. Do not use the wok burner as a resting
place.
You could burn yourself on the hot appliance. Protect your hands
with heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and
pans. Do not let them get wet or damp, as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself on steam. Be sure to keep all textiles away from the
gas flames. Do not use oversized cloths, tea towels or other similar
materials.
When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand-held food mixer,
near the wok burner, ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance
cannot come into contact with the hot wok burner. The insulation on
the cable could become damaged.
Plastic and aluminium foil containers melt at high temperatures.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers on the cooktop.
When a control knob is pressed down, a spark is generated on the
ignitor. Do not press down the control knob while you are cleaning or
touching the wok or the burner in the vicinity of an ignitor.
If a rangehood is installed above the wok burner, ensure that the
burner is always covered with a pan when in use. Otherwise flames
could reach the rangehood, parts of which could then be damaged
or even set on fire.
Switch the burner off when a pan is removed, even for a short
time.
Make sure all the components of the gas burner have been
correctly assembled before switching on.
