Safety
Keep children away from the vicinity of the hob
when you are cooking.
• Use pans with a flat base of minimum 128mm / 5 ins
d i a m e t e r, and maximum 230mm / 9 ins diameter,
which are stable in use, and avoid using any old mis-
shapen pans or any pan which is unstable when
placed on a flat surface.
• Never leave fat or oil unattended on a lit hotplate.
•Do not stare at the halogen hob element - doing so
may temporarily impair your vision.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible fortheir safety.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance
• Keep all flammable materials away from the hob.
•Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on hot
surfaces.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out
of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance
and cannot be caught accidentally.
• Commercial simmering aids should not be used as
they create excessive temperatures that can dam-
age the surface and may cause a hazard.
• Caution: Do not use the hob if the glass is cracked,
as electrical parts are directly beneath. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, turn off the electricity
supply to the hob at the socket and arrange a
Service call.
When you have finished cooking check that all
controls are in the off position.

Using The Hob
Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important if you are to
achieve maximum benefit from cooking with your hob.
The following guidelines may help in your selection.
•When buying new pans, always refer to the pan
manufacturer’s guidelines.
• For best results and energy efficiency it is important
to use flat bottomed pans of the correct type, espe-
cially on ceramic glass hobs.
• Always use pans which are large enough to prevent
spillage, especially for deep frying, making jam or
cooking with sugar or syrup based substances.
• Trivets, round based woks, heat diffuser pads and
over-sized pans are not recommended.
Type of pan
• Avoid using double pans, or old misshapen pans
which are unstable and dangerous.
•Cast iron, stainless steel, or enamelled steel pans
are all suitable for use on ceramic glass and solid
plate hobs.
•Aluminium pans will give good cooking results but
care must be taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of a ceramic hob they tend to
l e a ve visible marks which can be difficult to remove.
•Certain types of copper based pans may become
slightly concave when heated, which can result in
slower cooking times.
•Glass pans can be used but if used on halogen
rings, the glow from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may cause some visual
discomfort.
• Certain makes / brands of pre s s u rec o o kers may not
be suitable for use on ceramic hobs - they do not
c o m e to pre s s u re. Stainless steel pre s s u re cookers
will give optimum results.
