￿	For your safety
	Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you
	are reaching across the hotplate.
	Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
	than pans which are warped.
	Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
	cause the pan to tip.
%	Put pans on the centre of the burners.
	Position pan handles so they cannot be
	accidentally knocked.
	Take extra care when you are 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 the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
	If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat
&	base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If
	you use a round based Wok with a collar support,
	the collar must be of the open wire work type. A
	closed collar will affect the performance of the
	burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that
	the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always
	follow the instructions that come with the Wok.
	Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping
	board. This could damage the glass and reduce
	its strength.
