Using the hotplatesof your cooker
Hotplates safety warnings
• Do not use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could overbalance.
• Do not use mats, heat diusers or wok stands. These will cause a temperature build-up which can damage the
cook top.
• Do not let cooking pots overhang sides or front of hob get too close to the hotplate control knobs.
Choosing cooking pots and pans
Look at this diagram below which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not
be used.
• Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and cook slowly.
• Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste energy.
• Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.
• Do not use pots and pans which are too large. Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can
damage the hob
