Suitable pans
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this
gas appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that
the kitchen is well-ventilated. Either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor
hood.
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods
additional ventilation may be required, for example,
by opening a window; more effective ventilation may
also be required, for example, by increasing the hob’s
ventilation, if possible.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control and do not try to
relight it for at least one minute.

Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can
be stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried,
or steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both
as a saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their
shape and size, they can be used to cook quite large
ingredients.
When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more
uniformly and gently; the intense heat which
accumulates means that food takes less time to
cook and also requires less oil, making it one of the
quickest and healthiest ways of cooking. Always
follow the manufacturer’s instructions when cooking
with a wok.
A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is
a kind of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles
and a flat or concave base.
