INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Auxiliary burner
The auxiliary burner is ideal for
simmering, for custards and sauces,
and for smaller pans.
Semi-rapid burners (x 2)
The semi-rapid burners are suitable for
general domestic use, larger pans and
chip pans.
They are also suitable for fish kettles
which need to be positioned over 2
equally rated burners to ensure even
cooking of whole fish.
Note:
Fish kettles must not overhang
the pan supports.
Rapid burner
The rapid burner is ideal for faster
cooking methods such as boiling or
frying and for larger pans.
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.
Notes:
Be careful when cooking foods in salted
water, or foods containing large amounts
of sugar or syrup, if they are spilt onto
the stainless steel they may damage it.
Spillages should not be allowed to
collect in the hotplate spillage well.
Wipe any spillage immediately - switch
off the burners, move any pans out of
the way and take care to avoid skin
contact with hot surfaces.
