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.
