Fire safety: If you see flames or heavy smoke, turn off power and gas (if applicable), use an appropriate fire extinguisher, and call emergency services.

• Clean spills: Once cool, clean any burnt food or grease from the glass and around burners.
• Inspect cabinet: Check under the hob for any plastic, cardboard, or packaging left behind and remove it.
• Persistent electrical smell: Turn off power and have a technician inspect the mains terminal block, wiring, and power module for signs of overheating or burning.
