To save gas
Use the size of pan most suited to
the size of the burner - ie; larger
pans on the larger burners, smaller
pans on the smaller burners.
Adjust the flames so that they do
not lick up the sides of the pan.
Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.
Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
Potatoes and vegetables will cook
quicker if chopped into smaller pieces.

Using the Hob
The fold down lid
Model SI550DOm only.
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
When opening and closing the lid, use
the cooler outer sides of the lid trim.
The lid must be opened fully, so there
is no danger of it closing while the hob
is being used.
The appliance is fitted with a switch-
back system, which will automatically
turn off the hotplate controls if they are
inadvertently left on as the lid is closed.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when
any part of the cooker is in use, and
the surface may be scratched if items
with rough or sharp surfaces are
placed on it.
