Never use pans smaller than 100mm (4”) and larger than 250mm (10”).
Always 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.
Never use double pans, rim-based pans, old or misshapen pans, or any pan that is not stable on a flat surface.
Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can damage the surface 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. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED.
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 of the heat if it’s safe to do so, but never lean over a pan to reach the controls.
WARNING: Use fire blanket or a damp tea-towel to cover the pan.
If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.

Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen

If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.
Never fill a chip pan (or other deep fat fryer) more than one-third full of oil.
Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of burning oil – the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.

If you have an electrical fire in the kitchen

Switch off the power at the fuse box – this may be enough to stop the fire immediately
Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher
Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire.

Cleaning and maintenance

How to clean your hob

The ceramic hob top can be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use a used dishcloth or sponge as they can leave a film of detergent on the surface which can lead to discoloration. Please ensure that the elements are cooled fully to avoid steam burns.
You can use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface, but use sparingly to avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discoloration.
Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the surface.
For stubborn marks, a specialist hob scraper can be used.
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaning equipment.
Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on your hob and discolouring the glass.
Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build up of grease which may be a fire hazard.
Foods with high sugar content (toffee, fruit juice, jam, etc.) that boil over while cooking, or spattered sugar stains must be immediately removed using a scraper even if hot.
Do not use abrasive products, bleach, hob cleaner spray or pan scourers.
