General Guidelines

To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer
to cook.
• Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the edges of your hob as this can deflect heat onto your
worktop and damage the surface.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or
deflect the flame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the high position.
Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady flow of heat to cook your food
thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.
• Your cooker has burners of different diameters. The most economical way of using gas is too choose the
correct size gas burners for your cooking pan size and to bring the flame to minimum position once the boiling
point has been reached. It is recommended to always cover your cooking pan.
• In order to obtain maximum performance from the main burners, use saucepans with the following flat bottom
diameters. Using smaller saucepans than the minimum dimensions stated below will cause energy loss.
• Saucepan sizes should be as per the table shown below.
Burners Diameter
Small (Simmer)
Standard
Large (Fast)
Do not use cooking vessels on the hob that overlap the edges of the hob.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of
a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
