Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this
will result in damage to the surface of the hob.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the
smooth surface of the hob.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface,as this will cause
scratches in the surface of the hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob
surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and
the ceramic hob,e.g.do not use asbestos mats,
aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils,food or combustible items on the hob when it is
not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are
being used.
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two
heating areas.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.Always
ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter as the heating area
used.
We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater than 25cm
(l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking
areas.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk
attached to the heating of oil,particularly for deep fat frying,cooking
utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the
telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning
pan and rushing outside with it.
1. Use a deep pan,large enough to completely cover the appropriate
heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full or fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,resulting in
greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying,and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat.Frozen foods,in particular,will cause frothing and spitting,
if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat,or fry,with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
