Pans Combination trivet Wok ring The combination trivet must be used if Use the wok ring supplied to give additional stability to pans, especially to woks with a rounded base. - you wish to use a pan with a smaller diameter base than the minimum given in the chart. - you are using large pans on the wok burner of a flush fit hob (see chart). This minimises the likelihood of damage to the worktop and/or discolouration on the stainless steel surface.
Tips on saving energy - Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss. - Wide, shallow pans are preferable to tall, narrow ones. They will heat up faster. - Cook with as little water as possible. - Reduce the size of the flame once the water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in. - Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking times.
Operation Risk of fire with overheated food. Switching on during a power outage Unattended food can overheat and catch alight. Do not leave the hob unattended whilst it is being used. If there is an interruption to the electricity supply, the gas can be ignited manually, e.g. with a match. Switching on Press in the relevant rotary control and turn it anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignition electrode will “click” and ignite the gas.
Operation Adjusting the flame Switching off The burners can be regulated at any level between the strongest and weakest flame. Turn the rotary control clockwise to the position. As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of injury.
Safety features Thermo-electric flame failure monitor Your hob is equipped with a thermoelectric flame failure monitor. If a gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by food boiling over or by a draught, the gas supply is switched off. This prevents the release of gas. If you turn the rotary control to the position, the burner is ready for use again. The thermo-electric flame failure monitor operates independently from the electricity supply.
Cleaning and care Danger of burning due to hot Unsuitable cleaning agents surfaces. The hob surface, pan supports and burners will be hot after use. Allow the hob to cool down before cleaning it.
