Utensils should always be placed centrally on the pan supports over the burners.
Flames which extend beyond the bottom of utensils are wasteful and can damage
or overheat handles.Large diameter utensils (greater than 200mm in diameter)must
not be allowed to protrude beyond the perimeter of the hotplate,as this could cause
overheating or damage to the adjacent bench.
Do not place anything,e.g.flame tamer,asbestos mat,between pan
and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the bumer with a wok
stand as this will concentrate the flame and deflect the heat onto the
gas hob.
Never use oversized cooking utensils or overload the cooking
appliances.
Locate pan centrally over burner so that it is stable and does not
overhang the appliance.
Do not damage the outer surface of the glass with heavy or
sharp objects.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this hotplate while in operation,Some
propellant gases can break down when heated and produce corrosive vapours
which will attack some materials.
Articles which are made from flammable materials should not be stored in
drawers of cup boards immediately below this hotplate.
Do not store articles within 50mm of the bottom of the hotplate casing.
Do not touch spark ignitor while lighting the burner.
