Do not use small diameter cookware on large
burners.
The flame should never come up the sides of the
cookware.
Always use cookware that is
suitable for each burner, to avoid
wasting gas and discolouring the
cookware.
Avoid cooking without a lid or with the lid half off
-as this wastes energy
Place a lid on the cookware.
Do not use a pan with a convex or concave
bottom.
Only use pots, saucepans and
frying pans with a thick, flat
bottom.
Do not place cookware on one side of a burner,
as it could tip over.
Always place the cookware right
over the burners, not to one
side.
Do not use cookware with a large diameter on
the burners near the controls, which when placed
on the middle of the burner may touch the
controls or be so close to them that they increase
the temperature in this area and may cause
damage.
Never place cookware directly on top of the
burner.
Place the cookware on top of the
trivet.
Do not place anything, eg.flame tamer, asbestos
mat, between pan and pan support as serious
damage to the appliance may result.
Do not use excessive weight and do not hit the
cooktop with heavy objects.
Handle cookware carefully when
they are on the burner.
■
It is not recommended to use roasting pans, frying pans or grill stones
heated simultaneously on several burners because the resulting heat
build-up may damage the appliance.
■
Do not touch the top plate and trivet whilst in use for a certain period after
use.
■
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
