WARNING!
If you close the lid of the appliance while any
of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go
out. This is because it would be dangerous
if the burners stayed on when the lid was
closed.
WARNING!
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again
when the lid is opened.
WARNING!
When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit
before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the flame
has gone out before leaving the appliance.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob
burner turn all the hob controls off and make
sure the burner parts have been replaced
correctly.
Hints and tips
•
Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
•
Do not use pans with very heavy handles,
which cause the pan to tip.
•
The hob surface should be allowed to cool
before closing the lid.
WARNING!
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan
supports. Do not slide them across the hob
.
•
Any spillage should be removed from the lid
before opening.
•
Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob
or removable parts. The spillage should be
wiped up and the parts washed and carefully
dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and
burner parts are cool enough to touch.
•
A flat-based Wok will stand stable on the pan
supports. If you use a round Wok with a
collar support, the collar must be the open
wirework type otherwise the performance of
the burner will be affected.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when
reaching across the hotplate.
WARNING!
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not
cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan
unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it
where it is and turn off all controls. Place a
damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Never put water on the
fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
WARNING!
Do not use the lid as a work surface or
chopping board. This could damage the
glass and reduce it’s strength.
IMPORTANT!
Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to
touch the controls as damage may occur.
