• Never use pans smaller than 100mm (4”) and larger than 250mm
(10”).Match the size of pan to the 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 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 unattended.
• 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 purpose than cooking food.
• WARNING OF FIRE
• Never store items or leave plastic utensils close to, or on top of the hob.
• Never leave any cook zone on without a pan covering it. This causes
a potential fire hazard.

• Never leave pans overhanging the edge of the hob.
Fire safety advice
• Most kitchen fires occur when people are distracted or leave things
unattended, so remember:
• If you’re called away from the hob - by the phone or someone at the
door, either take pans off the heat, or switch off your hob.
• Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking.
• If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don’t take any risks – get everyone
out of your home and call the Fire Service.
If a pan catches fire

Safety when working with gas
• Any works on gas equipment and systems may only be carried out
by authorised qualified persons who are Gas Safe registered.
• Prior to the installation, ensure that local distribution conditions

• The appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation
device. It shall be installed and connected accordance with current

ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
• Good combustion is required in gas appliances. In case of

• Clean the gas burners regularly. The flames should be blue
and burn evenly.
• Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and very toxic gas,
which has a lethal effect even in very small doses.
• Gas appliances and systems must be regularly checked for
proper functioning. Connections, hoses, clamps etc. should be
checked regularly.
