6.2Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

6.4Using the barbecue griddle

This griddle plate has a non-stick (Teflon) coating. The non- stick film is very delicate and may be damaged if metal utensils are used.

Use only utensils made from wood or plastic resistant to high temperatures.
