Using the hob
Adjust the burner flame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
Pans
❍ Use pans with a flat base of mini-
mum 120mm / 4 ins diameter and
maximum 250mm / 10 ins diame-
ter which are stable in use.
❍ Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any
pan which is unstable when placed
on a flat surface.
❍ Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan sup-
ports. If positioned off centre, small-
er pans may be unstable.
❍ Do not let pans overhang the con-
trol knobs, as this may overheat and
damage them.
❍ Always use pans which are large
enough to prevent spillage, espe-
cially for deep frying.
❍ Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
❍ Do not use griddle plates on this
appliance, as this may be haz-
ardous.
❍ Material and size of pan, as well as
quantity and type of food to be
cooked, can affect cooking times.
❍ Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
