• 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 misshapen 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 diffusers, 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
a potential fire hazard.
• Never
heat up a sealed tin of food on the hob, as it may explode.
• Never
leave pans overhanging 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 of 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.
• If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.
