Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent pan damage:
Control knob for hotplates
This control knob is used to adjust the heat setting of
the gas burner hotplates.
The symbols above the control knob show you the gas
burner to which the control knob belongs.
The oven
In order to operate the oven, you require two operating
knobs: The function selector and the temperature
selector.
Control knob for oven
Function selector
Use the function selector to set the type of heating.
Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat one
single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole
dishes, etc. for a long
period of time on
maximum power.
