Pans: For optimum safety and performance, we recommend the use of flat bottomed pans with a base diameter of minimum
100mm (4”) and maximum 250mm (10”).
Do not use traditional style double pans (excluding steamer pans), rim based pans, old misshapen pans or any pan which is unsta-
ble when placed on a flat surface.
Position pans over the centre of the burners, resting on the pan supports. If positioned off centre, smaller pans may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never leave unattended.
Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance, and cannot be caught acci-
dentally.
Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.
Pan supports: Always make sure the pan supports are replaced correctly, and located in the hob spillage well.
To save gas:
• Use the size of pan most suited to the size of the burner - ie; larger pans on the larger burners, smaller pans on the smaller burners.
• Adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the sides of the pan.
• Put lids on saucepans and only heat the amount of liquid you need.
• When liquids boil, reduce the control setting to maintain a simmer.
• Consider the use of a pressure cooker for the cooking of a complete meal.
• Potatoes and vegetables will cook quicker if chopped into smaller pieces.
