COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR GAS BURNERS
• Which burner should you use for your pans?
— Adjust the ring of flames so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the pan
(Fig. 01).
— Do not use cookware with a concave or
convex bottom (Fig. 02).
— Do not leave empty cookware over an
ignited gas burner.
— Do not use cookware that partially covers
the knobs.
— Do not use cookware that goes over the
edges of the cooking hob.
— Do not use heat regulators, toasters,
griddle pans or stewpots with feet which sit
on or touch the glass top.
— Ensure that all natural ventilation is
used or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical ventilation hood).
— Intensive, prolonged use of the appliance
may require additional ventilation, for
example by opening a window, or more
effective ventilation, by increasing the power
of any mechanical ventilation device
(a minimum air flow of 2 m
3
/hr per kW of
gas power is required).
Example: 60 cm hob - 2 gas burners
total power: 1.5+3.1 = 4.6 kW
4.6 kW x 2 = 9.2 m
