SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for
deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in close
proximity to the cooking areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. Turn off the burners.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and
rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

How To Use Your Hob
The Half Fish Burner (model G760FX only)
The “separate double flame” burner (model G760DX
only)
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can
operate either together or separately.
The two central burners, or Half Fish burners, are eliptic in
form and can be turned up to 90°. This makes the cooktop
more flexible in terms of how it can be used.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a
very high power which reduces cooking times with respect
to conventional burners.
The double flame crown provides a more uniform distribution
of heat on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners
on minimum.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the
smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the
internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate
double flame” burners.
To turn the two central burners 90°, proceed as follows:
•
•
•
•
Make sure that the burners are cool;
Lift the burner completely out of its housing;
Replace it in its housing in the position desired;
Make sure that the burners are positioned correctly
before use.

In addition, the two cetnral burners can be used in tandem
or speartely with cookware of different shapes and sizes:
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way
and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting . The burner is
fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the
knob is pressed in.

use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully.
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the plug and cut mains cable off flush with the appliance.
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains
socket.
