Always use pans that are the right
size for each burner to avoid
wasting gas and discolouring the
pans
Do not use small pans on large
burners, the flame should never
touch the sides of the pans
Place a lid on pans
Do not cook without a lid or with
the lid half off, as this wastes
energy
Only use pans with a thick, flat
bottom.
Do not use damaged pans, which
do not sit evenly on the hob: pans
may tip over.
Always place pans centrally over
the burners not to one side
Do not place pans on one side of a
burner, as it could tip over
Do not use large pans on burners
near the controls, as they may be
damaged by the high
temperatures
Pans must always be put on the
pan supports. Always ensure the
pan supports and burner covers
are correctly positioned before use
Never place pans directly on the
burners
Do not place anything between
pan and pan support
Be careful when handling pans
when they are on the burner or
have just be taken away from the
burner
Do not use excessive weight or
strike the hob with heavy objects
