Gas cooker burner fails to ignite

Press the igniter and keep it held down until the flame catches, then keep the rotary switch pressed for a further 5-10 seconds so the automatic flame guard engages before releasing it and setting your preferred flame size. If it doesn't light, just repeat the process.

Fat or hot oil catches fire while cooking

Never throw water on a fat/oil fire - smother the flames with a damp cloth or similar, and call the fire department straight away.
