Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm (about 43/4").
The Wok burners are designed to provide even heat over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and stir frying. For heating smaller pans, the smaller burners may be more efficient.
When the ignition button is pressed in, sparks will be created at every burner (this is normal).
If, after lighting, a hotplate burner’s flame goes out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner cap and trim rings for cleaning - see the 'Cleaning your Cooker' section of these instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the enamel is still warm.
The Griddle
The griddle fits the left hand pan support, front to back. It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is
Don’t put the griddle crossways - it will not fit properly and will be unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burners - it is not designed to fit the Wok burner pan supports.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the pan support. Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the flame heights to suit.
Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of the pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with an appropriate cleaner (refer to 'Cleaning your Cooker').
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. The controls can be turned to a lower position simply by turning the control knobs towards the lower position marked with the small flame symbol.
