This information has been provided to help you save
energy and avoid damaging your cookware.
8.1 Using cookware
The selection and positioning of the cookware affects
the safety and energy efficiency of your appliance.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Flammable objects may ignite.
▶
Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the
cookware and flammable objects.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
An incorrectly positioned wok may cause injuries. The
wok is not stable and may overturn.
▶
Use the wok only on the wok burner and the wok
ring. Never set the wok ring and wok on the stand-
ard output burner and high-output burner.
¡
Ensure that the size of
the cookware is suit-
able for the burner
size.
¡
Never use small cook-
ware on large burners.
¡
Ensure that the flame
does not touch the
sides of the cookware.
¡
Do not use deformed
cookware.
¡
Deformed cookware is
not stable on the cook-
top and may tip over.
¡
Use cookware with a
thick, flat base.
¡
Do not cook without a
lid.
¡
Ensure that the lid
does not move.
¡
When cooking without
a lid, a large amount
of the energy escapes.
¡
Position the cookware
in the middle of the
burner, otherwise it
may tip over.
¡
Do not position large
cookware on the burn-
ers close to the con-
trols.
¡
The controls may be
damaged due to over-
heating.
¡
Place the cookware on
the pan supports.
¡
Never place the cook-
ware directly on the
burner.
¡
Before using the appli-
ance, ensure that the
pan supports and the
gas burner covers are
positioned correctly.
¡
Handle the cookware
that is on the hob
carefully.
¡
Do not bang on the
hob.
¡
Do not place heavy
weights on the hob.
¡
Never use multiple
burners to heat up
cookware. The build-
up of heat that results
from this will damage
the appliance.
¡
Do not heat grill
stones or paella pans.
¡
Only use cookware up
to the maximum per-
missible diameter.
¡
When cooking with a
wok, use the wok ring.
¡
Place the wok ring
over the wok burner
onto the pan support.
¡
Ensure that the wok is
stable on the wok ring
when you are cooking.
¡
Use a high-quality wok
with a domed base.
¡
A wok with a flat base
is not stable on the
wok ring and may
overturn.
