scratch the glass surface.

• Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

Do Not

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good

condition, follow these simple guidelines:

Do notDo not

Do not stare at halogen heating units.

Do notDo not

Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a

cooking utensil, as this will result in damage

to the surface of the hob.

Do notDo not

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as

damage may occur to the smooth surface of

the hob.

Do notDo not

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as

this will cause scratches in the surface of the

hob.

Do notDo not

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come

into contact with the hob

surround.

Do notDo not

Do not place anything between the base of the

utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use

asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand.

Do notDo not

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible

items on the hob when it is not in use.

Do notDo not

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic

containers on the hob.

Do notDo not

Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas

switched On unless they are being used.

Do notDo not

Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they

are switched On. We recommend

not to place large preserving pans

or fish kettles across two heating

areas.

Do notDo not

Do not leave utensils partly covering the

heated areas. Always ensure that they are

placed centrally over the heated areas and

have the same diameter as the heating area

used.

AlwaysAlways

Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both

clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the

pan and the hob can cause pitting of the

surface of the glass.

We do not recommend the use of utensils with a

base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be

used on the front cooking areas.

AlwaysAlways

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned

safely.

AlwaysAlways

Always take extra care when cooking foods with a

high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will

cause damage to the surface of the glass.

AlwaysAlways

Always clean spills immediately (see Care and

Cleaning).

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT

IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance

there could be some fire risk attached to the heating

of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking

utensils containing oil

must not be leftmust not be left

must not be left

unattendedunattended

unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in

close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely

cover the appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat

or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the

heating or cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time,

especially frozen food. This only lowers the

temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting

in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and

lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen

foods, in particular, will cause frothing and

spitting, if added too quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from

streaks of oil or fat.

8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the

hob.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:

1. Switch

OffOff

Off the electricity supply.

NEVERNEVER

NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and

injuries are caused almost invariably by picking

up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.

NEVERNEVER

NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan

fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to

tip the pan over.

NEVERNEVER

NEVER

NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that

your FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED

from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.

3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE

PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES

BEFORE MOVING IT.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade

immediately.
