For correct use of the hob
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use only flat-
bottomed pans of dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in
the table below. Also, as soon as a liquid comes to the boil take
care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it boiling.
Burner
Minimum diameter
Maximum diameter
Large (rapid)
180mm
220mm
Medium (semi-rapid)
120mm
200mm
Small (auxiliary)

The pan supports get hot during normal usage, take care when
operating the control knobs close to the pan supports.
DO NOT use foil on any part of the burners, pan supports or hob.
This is extremely dangerous and can cause explosions.
DO NOT leave cooking unattended. Fats or oils may catch fire if
overheated. Boil overs may cause damage to the cooktop if not
contained immediately.
Using pans which are too large for a particular burner may cause
higher temperatures on other surfaces such as control knobs.
Please see the sizing guide for pans above.
