Hotplates General Information Notes

Do Not

Do not

cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface of the
hob.

Do not

use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.

Do not

drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the surface of the hob.

Do not

allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.

Do not

place anything between the base of the utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium
or wok stand.

Do not

leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is not in use.

Do not

place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.

Do not

leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched 

On 

unless they are being used. We recommend not to place

large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating areas.

Do not

leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that they are placet centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used.

We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
