•
Use pans which are large enough to
avoid overflows onto the ceramic glass
hob surface.
•
As soon as the water boils, turn the
cooking zones down to a lower setting;
this will help prevent pans boiling over.
•
Do not leave an empty pan on a
heating zone.
•
Nothing should ever be left lying on
the hob.
•
Pans should be placed in the centre of
the heating zone.
•
Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
•
Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build up of
grease which may be a fire hazard.
•
Never heat up a sealed tin of food, as
it may explode.
•
Do not use the hob surface for
storage.
GAS HOB
Use
•
Place your pan onto the pan supports
above the burner you wish to use.
•
Push in and turn the selected control
knob to the full on symbol (large flame).
•
If your hob has an ignition button or
switch on the fascia, press it in until your
burner lights. If your hob has automatic
ignition it will spark automatically when
you push in the control knob.
•
Hold the control knob in for 15
seconds then release. If the burner fails
to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before
attempting to re-ignite.
USING THE HOB - GAS
•
To simmer, turn the control knob to the
small flame symbol. This will ensure that
the flame is just large enough to gently
heat the contents of the pan.
•
To turn off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the 'off' position.
•
Always make sure that your pans are
placed centrally on the burners and do not
allow the flame to extend over the base of
the pan.
•
Avoid the use of pans that overhang
the edges of the hotplate.
In the event of a power failure, or the
ignition not working, then a lighted match
or taper can be used to light the burner.
Energy Saving
•
Position pans centrally over the
elements.
•
Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.
•
Once liquids have been brought to the
boil, reduce the heat setting to a simmer.
•
Consider using a pressure cooker if
possible.
•
Vegetables cut into small pieces will
cook more quickly.
•
Use a pan which is a close match to
your element size.
•
Smaller elements are ideal for
simmering and stewing in smaller pans,
while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling.
