Do not use small diameter cookware on
large burners.
The flame should never come up the
sides of the cookware.
Always use cookware that are
suitable for each burner, so as
to avoid wasting gas and
discolouring the cookware.
Never cook without a lid or with the lid
half off
- you are wasting energy.
Always place the lid on the
cookware.
Do not use a pan with a convex or
concave bottom.
Only use pots, saucepans and
frying pans with thick, flat
bottom.
Do not place cookware on one side of a
burner, as if could tip over. Do not use
cookware with a large diameter on the
burners near the controls, which when
placed on the middle of the burner may
touch the controls or be so close to them
that they increase the temperature in this
area and may cause damage.
Always place the cookware
right over the burners, not to
one side.
Never place cookware directly on top of
the burner.
Place the cookware on top of
the pan support.
Do not use excessive weight and do not
hit the hob with heavy objects.
Handle cookware carefully
when they are on the burner.
