Cookware recommendations
The following tips can help you save energy and avoid
damage to your cookware.
Suitable cooking vessels
Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm or more
than 220 mm should not be used.
When using large
pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance
of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and
combustible surroundings. Keep to a minimum
distance of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and
the control knob or the control panel. The cooking
vessel should not touch the control panel.

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.
