Hob & Cooker Safety
4Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before
using them on the hob.
4Always position pans over the centre of the burner, and
turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be
knocked or grabbed.
4Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm
(4”), or larger than 250mm (10”).
4 Always take care when removing food from the oven
as the area around the cavity may be hot.
4 Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils
which have been in the oven as they will be hot.
4Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in
the correct position in between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner,
this will lead to spillage and injury if the baking tray, or
dish falls.
6 Never use double pans, rimbased pans, old or
misshapen pans, or any pan which is not stable on a
flat surface.
6 Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.
6 Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat
diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can
damage the surface of the hob.
6 Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking
food.
6 Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into
contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to,
or on top of, the hob.
6 Never leave the burner alight without a pan covering it.
This causes a fire hazard.
6 Do not place items on the door while it is open.
6 Do not wrap foil around the oven shelves, or allow it to
block the flue.
6 Do not drape tea towels near the oven while it is on,
this will cause a fire hazard.
6 Do not pull heavy items, such as turkeys, or large
joints of meat, out fr
om the o
v
en on the shel
f, as they
may overbalance and fall.
6 Do not use this appliance to heat anything other than
food items, and do not use i
t f
or heating the r
oom.

burner caps, rings and
pansupports are correctly
placed. This will prevent pans

Chip Pan Fires
What causes a chip pan fire?
l Chip pan fires start when oil of fat overheats and catches fire,
or when oil or fat spills on to the cooker because the pan has
been filled too high.
l They can also start when wet chips are put into hot oil,
making it bubble up and over flow.
Preventing a chip pan fire
l Never fill the pan more than a third full with oil of fat.
l Never leave the pan alone with the heat on - even for a few
seconds.
l Dry chips before putting them in the pan.
l Never put chips in the pan if the oil has started smoking.
Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool down, or else it
could catch fire.
In the event of a chip pan fire
l If your chip pan does catch fire - don’t panic, and don’t move
the pan. Serious burns are often caused by picking up the
pan and running outside with it.
l If it is safe to do so, and you don’t have to reach across the
pan, turn off the heat.
l Never throw water, or use a fire extinguisher.
l If you can, drape a damp cloth or towel over the pan to
smother the flames.
l Leave the pan to cool down for at least half an hour.
l If you can’t control the fire yourself, close the door, get out
and tell everybody else to get out.
l Call the fire brigade. Don’t go back inside whatever the
reason.

l If your hob has an ignition button or switch on the
fascia, press it in until your burner lights.
l If your hob has automatic ignition it will spark next to
the burner when you push in the control knob.
l
To simmer
, turn the control knob to the small flame
symbol. This will ensure that the flame is just large
enough to gently heat the contents of the pan.
l
To turn off
, turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘off’
position.
l Always make sure that your pans are place correctly on
the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame to
extend over the base of the pan.
Models with thermocouples:
Igniton as above, but:
l Hold the control knob in for 15 seconds. Do not hold
the control knob in for any longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner fails to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before attempting to
re-ignite.
Energy Saving
l Position pans centrally over the elements.
l Only heat the amount of liquid you need.
l Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the
heat setting to a simmer.
l Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.
l Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.
l Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.
l Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing
in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling

Using Your Grill
Before you start grilling. . . .
Before you use the grill, make sure you have placed the
grill shelf in the position you need as once the grill is on
you may injure yourself if you try to move the shelf.
l Do not close the door while the grill is in use.
l Turn the selector control knob to the heat setting you
require.
l To switch off, return the control knob to the ‘off’
position.
l The cooling fan will come on during use, and may
continue to run for some time afterwards.
l To adjust your results, you can turn the grid over, or
remove it altogether.
If your grill is a dual grill:
l The
dual grill
uses all of the top element and is ideal for
grilling large quantities of food.
l The
single grill
uses part of the element only, and is
better suited to grill smaller amounts of food.
The grill pan
This appliance comes with a grill pan, grill pan handle and
a grid.
The handle of the grill pan is detachable to allow you to
remove it while the pan is in use, this stops it from
getting hot.
To attach the handle:
Place the handle over the narrow edge of the grill pan
and slide to the centre as shown in the diagrams.
Shelf & Grid adjustments
Speed of grilling can be adjusted by changing the shelf
position or the turning the grill pan grid.
l High: For thin foods and toasting.
l Low: For thicker meat pieces.
Aluminium Foil
Never cover the grill pan or grill trivet with foil, or allow fat
to build up in the grill pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
