Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond
the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a
cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
