Notes Regarding Cookware
The following information and tips have been provided to
help you save energy and avoid damaging your
cookware.
Suitable Cookware
Pans with a diameter of less than 4.7” (120 mm) or
more than 11.0” (280 mm) should not be used.
If you do
use larger pans, these should not protrude beyond the
edges of the appliance.
Cookware Recommendations
Note:
When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality
of the appliance.
Proper Cookware
▯
Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.
▯
Steel pan, if not combined with other metals, may cook
unevenly.
▯
Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
▯
Flat heavy bottoms pans provide even heat and
stability.
▯
DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.

Use cooking vessels of
appropriate size for the
particular burner.
Don't use small cooking
vessels on large burners.
The flame shouldn't come
in contact with the sides of
the cooking vessel.
Don't use any deformed
cooking vessels that don't
stand solidly on the
cooktop. The vessels could
tip over.
Only use cooking vessels
with flat and thick bottoms.
Don't cook without a lid or
if the lid is not on all the
way. The majority of the
heat is lost.
Place the cooking vessel in
the center of the burner,
otherwise it may tip over.
Don't place large pots on
the burners near the stove
controls. They could
overheat and become
damaged.
Place the pots on the pan
supports, never directly
onto the burners.
Prior to use, ensure that
the pan supports and lids
of the gas burners are
positioned correctly.
Handle vessels carefully on
the cooktop.
Don't bang the cooktop
and don't place any heavy
weights on it.
Never heat a cooking
vessel (e.g. roasting tin,
pan, cooking stone) with
multiple burners, except of
the griddle plate. The
resulting accumulation of
heat causes damage to the
appliance.
