Falcon 110 Instructions D'utilisation Et D'installation page 29

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage the
hob and the pan.
Do not place or store items on top of the glass hob sur-
face when it is not in use.
When using an electrical appliance near the hob, be sure
that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact
with the surface area.
If you find a crack in the hob surface immediately discon-
nect the appliance from the supply and arrange for its re-
pair.
Use proper pan size-select pans having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit's heating area. The use
of undersized pans will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of pans to surface unit will also im-
prove efficiency.
Do not slide pans across the hob because this can
scratch the glass - the glass is scratch resistant, not
scratch proof. Sharp instruments, rings or other jewellery
and rivets on clothing could scratch the hob surface.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
Don't store heavy items above the hob. If they drop on
the hob, they could cause damage.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will re-
tain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot
surface. Never operate the cooker with wet hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove.
They might catch fire if they touch a hot surface.
Clean the hob with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to
avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce nox-
ious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Do not use unstable saucepans and position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.
Babies, toddlers and young children should not be al-
lowed near the cooker at any time. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of
the cooker.
Never store anything of interest to children in cabinets
above a cooker - children climbing on the cooker to reach
them could be seriously injured.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stuff could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a
safe distance away from your cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it
is in on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a sur-
face unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting
lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never leave the hob unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills
may catch on fire.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the
appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in
cabinets over the hob. Flammable material could be ig-
nited if brought in contact with a hot surface unit and may
cause severe burns.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will
ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be
only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combi-
nation of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before
heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on fro-
zen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to
bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch
for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or
medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot
fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
When the grill is on, do not use the top of the flue (the slot
along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for hob cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in tem-
perature.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part
of the cooker.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the
oven roof.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times.
Use extractor fans or hoods when fitted.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up
may make container burst and cause injury.
The cooker is designed for cooking foods only and must
not be used for any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not
only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may be-
come overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open
for longer than necessary.
The specification of this cooker should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the cooker is not in use ensure that the control
knobs are in the off position.
