Pans
For optimum safety and performance, we
recommend the use of flat bottomed pans
with a base diameter of minimum 100mm
(4”) and maximum 250mm (10”).
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 supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
Pan supports
Always make sure the pan supports
are replaced correctly, and located in
the hob spillage well.
To save gas
■ Use the size of pan most suited to
the size of the burner - ie; larger
pans on the larger burners, smaller
pans on the smaller burners.
■ Adjust the flames so that they do
not lick up the sides of the pan.
■ Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
■ When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.
■ Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
■ Potatoes and vegetables will cook
quickerif chopped into smaller pieces.
The fold down lid
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
When opening and closing the lid, use
the cooler outer sides of the lid glass.
The lid must be opened fully, so there
is no danger of it closing while the hob
is being used.
The appliance is fitted with a safety
system, which will automatically turn
off the hotplate burner controls if they
are inadvertently left on as the lid is
closed.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when
any part of the cooker is in use, and
the surface may be scratched if items
with rough or sharp surfaces are
placed on it.
