GAs HoB
Do
•
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
and flat before using them on the 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 100 mm (4"), or larger than 250
mm (10") in diameter.
•
Limit the maximum flat based pan
diameter to 230 mm (9") above the
wok burner, if two or more other
hotplate burners are in use at the
same time.
•
Always match the size of pan to the
heat zone – do not use large pans
on small zones or vice versa.
•
Always make sure that the burner
caps, rings and pan supports are cor-
rectly placed. This will prevent pans
becoming unstable while in use and
ensure an uninterrupted gas flow.
Important
Ensure the wok burner skirt is posi-
tioned with the feature shown in the
diagram below facing the front of the
cooker. Failure to do this will cause the
gas to burn incorrectly with an irregular
flame pattern.

Do not
•
Never use double pans, rim-based
pans, old or misshapen pans, or any
pan that is not stable on a flat sur-
face, including round bottomed woks,
directly on top of the pan supports
•
Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unat-
tended.
•
Never use commercial simmering
aids, or heat diffusers, as they create
excessive heat and can damage the
surface of the hob.
•
Never use the hob for any other pur-
pose than cooking food or raising the
temperature of fluids.
•
Plastic cooking utensils can melt if
they come into contact with a warm
hob. Never leave them close to, or on
top of the hob.
•
Never leave any heat zone alight
without a pan covering it. This causes
a fire hazard.
•
Never leave an empty pan on a heat-
ing zone.
•
Never leave anything lying on the
hob.
•
Never heat a sealed tin of food, as it
might explode.
•
Never use the hob surface for stor-
age.
