Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a
base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be
used on the front cooking areas.

unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with 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 too 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.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the
hob.

BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.
