supports. If positioned off centre,
smaller pans may be unstable.
• Do not let pans overhang the control
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 ap-
pliance, as this may be hazardous.
• 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.
Pan supports
Always make sure the pan supports are
replaced correctly, located in the hob
spillage well, and that all rubber feet are
in place, to prevent instability.
The hob must only be operated when
both pan supports are correctly posi-
tioned.
To save gas
• Always position pans centrally over
the burner.
• Use the size of pan most suited to
the size of the burner - ie; larger
pans on the rear burners, smaller
pans on the front burners.
• Adjust the ames 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
quicker if chopped into smaller
pieces.
Note
Extra care should be taken when cooking
food in salted water. Some foods are
corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and
especially salt - they can mark or dam-
age stainless steel if they are left on the
surface. Turn off and wipe any spillage
immediately, taking care to avoid skin
contact with any hot surface or spillage.
Care & Cleaning
CAUTION: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the hob.
Always let the hob cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate a
considerable amount of grease. This,
combined with spillage, can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on the
hob through lack of cleaning. In extreme
cases this may amount to misuse of
the appliance & could invalidate your
guarantee.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or abrasive
cleaning products, coarse wire wool or
any hard implements, as they will dam-
age the surfaces.
All parts of the hob can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Burner caps and heads
Important: Allow burners to cool before
cleaning.
