Information and tips regarding cookware

The following information and tips have been provided 

to help you save energy and avoid damaging your 
cookware.

Suitable cooking vessels

Pans with a diameter of less than 160 mm or more 
than 300 mm should not be used.

Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the item 
of cookware and flammable objects. Maintain a distance 
of at least 50 mm between the control knob or control 
panel and the pot or pan. The cookware must not touch 
the control panel or the control knob. The cookware 
must not protrude over the edge of the hob.

Precautions for use

Minimum pan

Wok burner

240 - 300 mm

Use the wok only 
on the wok ring.

160 mm

Use pots or pans which 
are the right size for 
each burner.

Do not use small pots or 
pans on large burners. 
The flame should not 
touch the sides of the 
pot.

Do not use damaged 
pots or pans, which do 
not sit evenly on the 
cooktoop, they may tip 
over.

Only use pots or 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 pot or 
pan over the burner, 
otherwise it could tip 
over.

Do not place large pots 
on the burners near the 
control knobs. These 
may get damaged by the 
high temperatures.

Place the pots or pans 
on the pan support, 
never directly on the 
burner.

Make sure that the pan 
supports and burner 
caps are correctly 
positioned before using 
the appliance.

Pots or pans should be 
placed on the cooktop 
carefully.

Do not strike the cooktop 
and do not place 
excessive weight on it.

Do not heat a cooking 
vessel (e.g. roaster, pan, 
grill stone) on more than 
one burner at the same 
time. The resulting heat 
accumulation will 
damage the appliance.
