Keep holding the knob pressed in,
this lets gas through to the burner,
and press the igniter button or light
with a match.
Keep pressing the control knob in for about 10 seconds.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out,
the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the
off position and wait one minute, then try again this time
holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by
turning the knob. The small flame
symbol marks the lowest setting.
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk
pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter
recommended is 120mm. The maximum pan base diameter is
250mm; large pans should be spaced well apart.
The 3 ring Wok burners are designed to provide even heat
over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and stir-frying.
For heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more
efficient.
The Griddle
The griddle fits the centre left pan support, front to back. It is
designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use pans of any
kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking
utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat
resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fit properly and will be
unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burners - it is not designed to fit the
Wok burner pan supports.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the
pan support.
Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before
use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the flame heights to
suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. Turn the
heat down by turning the control knobs towards the lower
position marked with the small flame symbol.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to
escape. Never fit two griddles side by side.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
The Wok cradle
The Wok cradle is designed to fit a 35cm Wok.
This is available from leading retailers.
If you use a different wok make sure that it fits the cradle.
Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It’s important that
the Wok sits down on the pan support but if the Wok is too
small the cradle will not support it properly.
The cradle should be used on the triple ring Wok burner only.
When you fit the cradle check that the Wok is properly
located on the front and rear fingers and that it is supported
properly on a pan support.
Make sure the cradle is stable and that the Wok is sitting level
in the ring.
The cradle will get very hot in use - allow plenty of time for it
to cool before you pick it up.
The Glide-out Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in
use. Young children should be kept away.
Before using the grill for the first time, make sure that all
packing materials have been removed and then to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn on the grill and run for 30
minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back,
and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air,
by opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for
example. We recommend that people with respiratory
or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief
period.
Using the grill
Open the grill
door and pull
the grill pan
carriage forward
using the
handle.
The grill pan gets very hot when the grill is on. Don’t
touch the pan or trivet unless you are sure it is cool.
After placing your food on the grill grid, slide the grill carriage
into the grill chamber. Make sure it is pushed right in.
The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or just the right hand half.
To heat the whole grill, turn the knob clockwise.
