Using Your Gas Hob

Hob Ignition

●To turn on, place your pan onto the pansupports above the burner you wish to use.

●Push in and turn the selected control knob anticlockwise, to the full on symbol.

●If your hob has an ignition button or switch on the fascia, press it in until your burner lights.

●If your hob has automatic ignition it will spark next to the burner when you push in the control knob.

●To simmer, turn the control knob to the small flame symbol. This will ensure that the flame is just large enough to gently heat the contents of the pan.

●To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘off’ position.

●Always make sure that your pans are placed correctly on the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame to extend over the base of the pan.

Energy Saving

●Position pans centrally over the elements.

●Only heat the amount of liquid you need.

●Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the heat setting to a simmer.

●Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.

●Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.

●Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.

●Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for frying and boiling

Smaller or larger pan sizes may lead to slower cooking times.
