10. Important
When using a very large pot, leave a gap of at
least 50 mm (2”) to avoid damaging any parts in
bench top wood, plastic or other non-heat resistant
materials. Never leave oil or hot fat unattended.
Note: To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the
appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure or steam
jet cleaning devices.

User instructions
Use ‘High flame’ setting to bring the pan to the boil,
then adjust the flame between ‘High flame’ and ‘Low
flame’ to maintain the required pan temperature.
Important:
The use of a cooktop leads to the production of heat
and moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure
that the room is properly ventilated. Keep natural ven-
tilation openings, such as windows, open or provide
a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood or
overhead exhaust fan).
For safety and economic gas usage you should al-
ways use the correct pan on the correct burner. Flames
should not protrude beyond the base of the pan. You
will save energy, time and money by always placing
the correct pan size on the correct gas ring.
See fig. 15.
