IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk
attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking
utensils containing oil
must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the
telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames with a
fire blanket or damp cloth and the electricity supply is switch
Off. Burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning pan and
rushing outside with it.
Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils.
To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid
unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good quality utensils with
smooth flat bases.
1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base,
always check before buying.
2. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum contact with
the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type of electric hob.
1. DO USE good quality smooth flat based utensils.
2. DO USE a utensil which has approximately the same base area as the
heating area zone being used.
3. DO USE utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the
amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or spillage.
4. DO USE utensils with good fitting lids.
5. DO USE a low dome pressure cooker for best results.
