TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER
1. Turn the control knob to the off position.
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.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re- ignite the burner for at least 1 min.
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.
• Do not close the lid until the appliance has cooled down.
Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board. This could damage the glass and reduce its strength.
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.
•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.
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when reaching across the hotplate.
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.
