GENERAL
Do
•
Always ensure that pan bases are
dry and flat before using them on the
SAFETY
hob.
•
Always position pans over the
centre of the heat zone, and turn
the handles to a safe position so
they cannot be knocked or grabbed.
Always use pans which are no smaller
than 100mm (4"), or no larger than
250mm (10").
•
Always match the size of pan to the
size heat zone – do not use large
pans on small zones or vice versa.
•
Always lift pans onto and off the
hob, rather than sliding them across
the surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.
Do Not
•
If the appliance has a glass hobtop,
never drag pans across the ceramic

Never use double pans, rim-based
pans, old or misshapen pans, or
any pan that is not stable on a flat
surface.
•
Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unat-
