If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner 
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the 
burner parts have been replaced correctly. 
 
HINTS AND TIPS
•
Do not
overfill pans or they will boil over.
•
Do not
use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
•
Do not
close the lid until the appliance has
cooled down.
Do not use the lid as a work surface or 
chopping board. This could damage the 
glass and reduce its strength. 
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be 
accidentally knocked or overhang the 
appliance. 
Lift pans on and off the pan supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.
• Do not
leave accidental spillage on the hob or
removable parts. The spillage should be wiped 
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as 
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts 
are cool enough to touch. 
•
A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan 
supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar 
support, the collar must be the open wirework 
type otherwise the performance of the burner will 
be affected. 
Take care to avoid burns and scalds 
when reaching across the hotplate. 
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do 
not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave 
a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, 
leave it where it is and turn off all 
controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting 
lid over the pan to smother the flames. 
Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool 
for 30 minutes.
