Gas Cut Off
This cooker has a safety cut out feature which
switches off the burners when you close the cover.
This device is provided as a safety feature in case
the cover is lowered with the burners on.
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some
basic guidelines should be followed:
Use cookware that is the right size for each
burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from
spreading beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn
the knob to the lowest setting.
Always use lids with pots and pans.

cleaning materials from the electrode using a small
nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the
electrode can be achieved by lifting off the loose
burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any
food particles or cleaning materials into the burner
bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas
jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
