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.
See page 29 for more information.
HINTS AND TIPS
Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas.
Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
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.
See pages 27 and 28 for full cleaning instructions.
Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.
A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based 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.
