Safety
• Never
use pans smaller
than 100mm (4”) and larger
than 250mm (10”).Match the
size of pan to the heat zone –
do not use large pans on small
zones or vice versa.
• Always
lift pans onto and
off the hob, rather than sliding
them across the surface to
avoid marks and scratches.
Do not use
double pans,
rim-based pans, old or mis-
shapen pans, or any pan that
is not stable on a flat surface.
• Never
leave cooking fat or
oil unattended.
• Never
use commercial
simmering aids, or heat diffus-
ers, as they create excessive
heat and can damage the
surface of the hob.
• Never
use the hob for any
other purpose than cooking
food.
WARNING OF FIRE:
• Never
store items or leave
plastic utensils close to, or on
top of the hob.
• Never
leave any cook zone
on without a pan covering it.
This causes potential a fire
hazard.
• Never
heat up a sealed tin
of food on the hob, as it may
explode.
• Never
leave pans over-
hanging the edge of the hob.
Fire safety advice
• Most kitchen fires occur
when people are distracted
or leave things unattended,
so remember:
• If you’re called away from
the hob - by the phone or
someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or
switch off your hob.
• Don’t let yourself be
distracted while cooking.
• If you do have a fire in
the kitchen, don’t take any
risks - get everyone out of
your home and call the Fire
Service
If a pan catches fire
• Do not move it as it’s
likely to be extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it’s
safe to do so, but never lean
over a pan to reach the
controls.
• Use fire blanket or a
damp tea-towel to cover the
pan.
