If a burner flame goes out, turn off the control knob and
leave it for one minute before relighting it.
Make sure that the flames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly
(

.
Large pans should be spaced well apart.
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.
You should also 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
.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the
edges.
The Griddle
The griddle is intended for use on the right of the hob, sitting
on the smaller (1kW) and medium (1.7kW) burners
.
It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO NOT 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.

DO NOT put it crossways – it will not fit properly and
will be unstable (Fig.2-9).
n
n
DO NOT put it on any other burner – it is not
designed to fit on any of the other 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
with the
larger burner at 50% and smaller burner at 100% 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.
n
n
NEVER fit two griddles side by side.
After cooking, allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
