Don’t place anything between the base of the pan and
the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok
stand).
Don’t leave utensils, foodstuff s or combustible items on
the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
Don’t place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic containers
on the hob.
Don’t leave the hob zones switched on unless being used
for cooking.
Don’t use pans that are larger than the glass and don’t
place utensils partly covering a heating zone. Always
place utensils centrally.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
Using the Griddle
The griddle is
designed to fi t
securely on the
locating pins over
the ceramic heating
area.
Do not try to use it over one of the gas burners. It will
not be securely held and you may damage the non-stick
fi nish.
There are two elements that
allow either the whole of the
area to be heated or just the
rear half.
To heat the whole area, turn
the knob clockwise.
To heat the rear ring only,
turn it anticlockwise.
The neon indicator light above the control knob will come
on when a hob control is turned on and stay lit while the
surface cools.
The griddle fi ts onto two locating pins. Check that it is
securely located.
It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use pans
of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and
metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the
surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before
use.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage.
Turn the control knob to a lower number to reduce the
griddle temperature.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for griddle
cooking.
High/medium: Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak,
Burgers.
Medium/low: Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon fa mil iar ise you with the correct
setting to use for cooking.
The griddle will get very hot in use - allow plenty of
time for it to cool before you pick it up.
Use Only Dry Oven Gloves
Moist or damp gloves on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Never let oven gloves touch hot
heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a glove. They might catch fi re if they touch a hot
surface.
Never operate the cooker with wet hands.
There is a gap at the right hand rear corner of the
griddle so you can pour off excess fat after cooking.
Be careful - it may be very hot.
Clean after use with soapy water using a soft cloth,
allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
