Do not use receptacles with uneven bases. They lengthen cooking times and increase energy consumption. Do not place receptacles on burners off centre. They could tip over. Do not use wide-based receptacles on the burners nearest to the controls. When centred on the burner, they could touch the controls or raise the temperature in the area. This may damage the hob. Do not use excessive weights or strike the hob with heavy objects. Always use suitably sized receptacles on each burner. This helps avoid excessive gas consumption and prevents receptacles from getting tarnished. Always use lids. Only use thick-,flat-based saucepans, frying pans and casseroles. Always place receptacles in the middle of burners. Always place receptacle on the pans support Handle receptacles on the hob with care. Do not place receptacles directly on top of burners.Cleaning and maintenance: If the coating on the electric plates has worn off through use, smear them with a few drops of oil or one of the maintenance products available on the market.

The burners and pans support must be cleaned regularly to keep them clean. This is done by submerging them in soapy water and scrubbing them with a non-metal brush to keep the holes and slits free from obstruction so they can give a perfect flame. Dry the burner covers and grates whenever wet or damp. After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure that the covers are properly in position on the flame diffuser.
