Adjust the flame height to suit by
turning the knob.
The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards
it after the contents of a pan have
boiled
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.
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over
a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying. For
heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more
efficient.
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob off and
leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning; see the
‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of the instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker
around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills
occur. Try to wipe them off while the enamel is still warm.
Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of the
pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal cleaner such as
'Brasso'.
The Griddle (optional extra)
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 burner or the left hand Rapide
burner - it is not designed to fit the end 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
control knobs towards the low position, marked with the
small flame symbol, to reduce the burner flames.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to
escape. Never fit two griddles side by side. Large pans
should also be spaced well apart.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the correct setting
to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner or the left hand Rapide
burner - it is not designed to fit the end pan supports..
The Wok cradle (optional
extra)
The Wok cradle is designed to fit a Typhoon™ Professional
35cm Wok (Part Code 13840S)
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.
