It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they are in operation or when they are switched off, so long as the residual heat indicator is on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns. ⷠWhen cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly. ⷠThe hob's control area is sensitive, do not place hot containers on it. [. . . ] ⷠSafety "Boiling over and splashing" : if any boiling over and splashing occur, the hob will stop.
