Safety
Never
use pans smaller
than 100mm (4”) and larger
than 250mm (10”).Match the
size of pan to the heat zone –
do not use large pans on small
zones or vice versa.
Always
lift pans onto and
off the hob, rather than sliding
them across the surface to
avoid marks and scratches.
Do not use
double pans,
rim-based pans, old or mis-
shapen pans, or any pan that
is not stable on a flat surface.
Never
leave cooking fat or
oil unattended.
Never
use commercial
simmering aids, or heat diffus-
ers, as they create excessive
heat and can damage the
surface of the hob.
Never
use the hob for any
other purpose than cooking
food.
WARNING OF FIRE:
1
ever
store items or leave
plastic utensils close to, or on
top of the hob.
Never
leave any cook zone
on without a pan covering it.
This causes potential a fire
hazard.
Never
heat up a sealed tin
of food on the hob, as it may
explode.
Never
leave pans over-
hanging the edge of the hob.
Fire safety advice
Most kitchen fires occur
when people are distracted
or leave things unattended,
so remember:
If you’re called away from
the hob - by the phone or
someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or
switch off your hob.
Don’t let yourself be
distracted while cooking.
If you do have a fire in
the kitchen, don’t take any
risks - get everyone out of
your home and call the Fire
Service
If a pan catches fire
Do not move it as it’s
likely to be extremely hot.
Turn off the heat if it’s
safe to do so, but never lean
over a pan to reach the
controls.
Use fire blanket or a
damp tea-towel to cover the
pan.
